I’ve heard a lot of good things about this restaurant, so I finally decided to give it a try. What I can say is that we felt so rushed that we couldn’t even enjoy our appetizers. The worst part was when the server’s assistant took one of the appetizers away, even though it was only half-eaten. I really don’t like being rushed at restaurants; I want to be able to enjoy my meal and have a full experience. Additionally, my pork was undercooked, and because the restaurant was so dark, I’m not sure how long I was eating undercooked meat. They fixed it and cooked it more, but still, to be honest, I didn’t find anything about the experience to be exceptional. The server, however, was great, so this isn't about her

Beautiful ambiance with stellar service. Over all food was good. Really enjoyed the seabass and the tropical cream puff dessert. But for these price points, the food should be more memorable. Also a very cool cocktail menu with stiff drinks.
