This is a great place for amazing views in a laid back environment. We had 4 people in our party with a baby. Our waiter, Allen and the staff were all very kind and attentive. Only giving 4 stars because the fish and chips weren't the best. The parm fishwas really good. There was also only one option for the fish dishes. Fairly certain you need reservations to eat here as well.We would recommend, just call first to see what fish they have that day to make sure you like it.

This is mostly a food review Honestly, an underwhelming experience. If you are looking for the high quality food that matches the price, I would not come here. I came in with my 3 brothers and all of us were not very impressed at all with thefood. For the price point it really is not worth it unless you just want the view. The one thing we enjoyed, food wise, was thebuffalo sausage! However, our server was awesome and very attentive to us. All of the staff was very welcoming and warm, and weenjoyed the ambiance. I recommend it as a great spot to go get a drink and mingle! Purely writing this review not to slam therestaurant, but to inform any newbies to the island (like us) to know what they’re getting in to! This island ain’t cheap sofind the best spots to use your money wisely!

We ate here in the last week of July 2022 with friends. We were a group of 5. We were seated within minutes with a great view of the ocean and open windows as dusk turned to dark. There was flame dancer on the beach practicing his art. The food wasdelicious and the drinks made perfectly! The staff was cordial, chill and on the spot. Love the eclectic decor and interiordesign. My favorite dinner experience on the island!

So sad this gem of a restaurant is closing. Quality and creativity of dishes and cocktails is high and consistent. Will miss the Ahi Tuna and panko crusted daily fish. Good luck to staff and owner you will be missed!!!

Great beach/water view and great parmesean crusted fish with mashed and a delicious caper sauce. Cocktails looked good but we were wiped from a super long diverted 10hr flight with a middle of night drive to airport we'll be back!
