    Food is always great. However service was really slow tonight and two of the items we ordered did not show up. But we will be going back. Still one of our favorite places to eat.

    Excellent food and even better service ! Always a positive and warm experience. It was super busy due to Beatles on the Beach events and everything was super organized and well managed. Risaira was a wonderful server.

    Very disappointed after reading all the good reviews. The food had no flavour , was over cooked and was not the best quality. Will definitely not be returning.
