   Great service. There were 6 of us and we all had something different. Ribeye, prime rib, sea bass, calamari, octopus and seafood pasta plus 6 different deserts. All the best . Don't skip the abalone bisque.

   First timers, but will definitely return again. Wonderful restaurant to celebrate a special occasion. We were seated in the Captains Room. The ambiance was exquisite. I can only describe the service as impeccable, they know how to treat their customers and make the dining experience a delight! Brandon and Pedro were absolutely wonderful!

   I would definitely recommend! The food was excellent and the restaurant is very peculiar with different settings throughout the establishment. I really enjoyed celebrating my anniversary there.

   Our tiny table was squished up against a Christmas tree and nearly in the entrance hallway where customers were entering from outside. Every time the door opened a gust of cold wind blew over us. My partner, celebrating her 60th birthday, ordered black cod. After one bite she tossed it onto my plate because she could not eat it. It was so rubbery it literally bounced. I gave her my 'petite' piece of salmon which was marginally better. My mashed potatoes (I think that's what they were) was so watery you needed a spoon to eat it, and we had no spoon. The tasteless mess resembled something like a gruel that might be served in a prison. After dropping $250 for what we thought would be an elegant birthday dinner we had to stop at a grocery store on the way back to our hotel because we were still hungry. We will not return to the Sardine

   An old world style experience. The server called me by name, then as our party received bread, water, other food, he then remembered and asked how to pronounce the names of others in our party. Food was very good, and our servers team was very pleasant, professional , and everything you could ask for. A gentleman, not with us, was seated at a table close by with his party and the and the server and his team made every effort to see he was seated, comfortably and moved his and his parties, drinks, chairs etc. to make it so. All with a smile and a wonderful attitude.
