    A delightful and surprising experience. The sunset, poolside setting was beautiful, the manager was welcoming, attentive, and very personable. The food was spectacular, an eclectic mix of Mediterranean and Japanese that somehow works! The only concern was that the waiter was a bit overwhelmed although the manager did a wonderful job of filling in.

    We went for an early dinner and drinks. The setting firstly is one of the nicest on island. Beach chic beautiful ocean views. You feel like you are on vacation. We ordered a variety of staters including sushi and tempura prawns which out of this world absolutely cooked to perfection! Then we all shared the Branzino and it was an OMG moment it was that good. Their burger is also fantastic but that was another time. Def add this place to your list! It’s a must

    Hello! Thank you for such a detailed and glowing review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the setting—it really does feel like a mini-vacation with those ocean views. We're so happy the sushi, tempura prawns, and Branzino blew you away. That "OMG" moment is exactly what we aim for! And yes, the burger is definitely another must-try. We can't wait to have you back next time—hopefully for that burger! 😊

    Nova was amazing! Not only is the view beautiful, but the staff went above and beyond! My husband has a dairy allergy. It is so comforting when the server and chef take it seriously! But best of all was Barney! When our cab didn’t arrive he personally drove us back to our hotel!! He created devoted guests to his restaurant! We will see you next year!!
