Came for Valentine’s Day dinner. When I say the food was awful, that is an understatement. The wine was cheap. The soup was bland. The croutons in the soup were hard. The capris salad was unseasoned and the tomatoes not fresh. The sea bass was clearly frozen and the texture was like it had been frozen twice. The cauliflower was hard. The potato cake was not fresh. The desert was dry and did not taste fresh. This was a horrible experience to say the least.

Really enjoyed the food - can highly recommend the fish tacos. Service was great and the live music was just the right level to enjoy while eating and chatting.

Beautiful restaurant on the main beach walk. View of the beach and ocean on the patio. Perfect weather in January when we went. Best crab cake of my life. Tuna tartar and jerk chicken were delicious. Service was prompt and courteous. It's attached to a hotel.

Food was ok (except for the Blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich, served late and cold). Service was horrible. Either understaffed or the staff (besides our waiter) was lazy. Our waiter was trying his best to serve 8 or so tables, but failed. 2 of the 3 meals came out. After 10 minutes the waiter came back and asked if the 3rd had arrived. Obviously it had not. He did comp the meal after I canceled it (he still served it cold). Ordered a second drink that never arrived but made it to the bill. On top of that they add an 18% "service charge". A forced tip. If the service improves it would be fine.

Food was decent and service was great. Drinks were below average but overall, ok. They added gratuity to the check for a table of 4 and didn’t mention it. That’s not the way to do business. They are trying to take advantage of tourist.

For hotel dining in a beach environment Steelpan rosr above. Staff were generally very friendly. We had 2 breakfasts and 1 dinner at Steelpan. There was an issue that we made 11:30am breakfast reservation the first time based on a web page, but they stop serving breakfast at 11am,
