    We celebrated our engagement there and had a really lovely time! The view at sunset was spectacular and Jennifer (our waitress) was very attentive, pleasant, thorough, and patient whilst we tried to decide on the delicious menu!

    We had an excellent waiter, Alvaro S. He was pleasant, helpful and attentive. He made wonderful recommendations. My husband and I would definitely ask for Alvaro. People make the difference. The chefs, servers and waiters.
