    We had a lovely lunch on the patio. Our server Wendy was attentive and gracious. We had the prime beef & asparagus sushi roll, surf and turf lunch special, mahi tacos and one of their chicken sandwiches (I forget the name of it.) We had the house Pradaritas and strawberry lemonades and they were great. Will definitely be back!

    Get the Japanese sweet potatoes, I promise you will not be disappointed! So amazing! The drinks were great, my BF loved his oysters. Their bread is next level. The grouper with mis soy sauce was just ok for us. Not very flavourful, and it's not fully cooked, which for my BF was fine, but for me was inedible, just bc the texture was not pleasing on top of the lack of flavor. Everything else those exceeded our expectations! Can't wait to go back!

    We come here for all our birthdays and the food quality never disappoints! Ordered the Mushroom Ravioli today, but we’ve had the Paella, Pasta, and Veef plate with mashed potatoes and we want to kiss the chef every time.
