The acoustics in the building needs help. We asked to be moved outside in the heat. Heat was better than the loud noise. We noticed other tables followed suit. Not sure I'll be back. Thank you, Richard Davis.

I finally went back to the hostess table to ask for water. There were two hostesses at the restaurant, and they were both sitting down in an adjacent room chatting with one another. They had no idea what was going on in the restaurant, and since there were two of them we felt that one of them should’ve kept an eye out to see if any of that wait staff needed help. … The bathroom trash was a mess… Two of the six dishes we ordered were good… The rest were poor (pork chop and Playa salad) or mediocre (coconut shrimp). We had very high hopes and were disappointed. We will not go back nor will we recommend it to anyone.

We ordered drinks and the crab toast appetizer. It took more than five minutes to get our drinks, which was no big deal, but a little surprising as the restaurant was not busy. When we were almost done with our drinks, our server stopped by to see if we were ready to order dinner. We said we would wait to order when our appetizer arrived. The server forgot about the appetizer. The appetizer arrived and it was unremarkable, crab salad on toast, served with a dish with a large chip on the rim of the dish. Another surprise to see food served on damaged dish ware. The crab salad did not have much flavor. For entrees, we ordered the seared tuna with coconut rice and the fried grouper. The rice and tuna was ok. Not very favorable. The group was overcooked and tough, and served on another dish with a large chip. Chipped dish ware is not very sanitary. Overall, a big disappointment for $170. Doubt we will be back. Great location and beautiful to sit outside to enjoy the weather and scenery. The food just wasn’t good and certainly not worth the price. There are plenty of better restaurants in the area. We hope they can turn things around.
