This was better than expected. I had the salmon bowl, which was very fresh salmon, rice, salad, and brussels sprouts. I thought it was a great meal. The service was outstanding.

We wanted fish. We weren't sure what was on their menu. We were pleasantly surprised to find Cajun salmon with shrimp and mahi mahi in lemon basil sauce. Both were delicious. We are not happy with paying for a Caesar salad that used to be included in the price. All the good sides that aren't potatoes are now Premium sides you have to pay extra for. Patrons who are trying to eat healthier don't want to eat bread and potatoes. We need healthier standard sides. I'm allergic to broccoli so that doesn't leave much to choose from that doesn't cost extra. I did try the Brussel Sprouts. They are delicious and I will order them again.

Absolutely the best restaurant in the valley. Cozy and sophisticated atmosphere. On spot service and most delicious salmon I have had recently. Restaurant fills up quickly so enjoy a reservation. We will be back Saturday night! Tim and Teri highly regarded in restaurant industry created a real gem. Enjoy.

Elena was one of the best servers I’ve encountered in years. Knowledgeable, and personable. Wedge salad was a welcome twist on what is typically a steakhouse staple. The crispy skin on the roasted chicken is reminiscent of the Union Sq Cafe in NYC which is the best ever. Pricey, but very good restaurants are these days. Good option, especially if you’re staying either at the hotel or the villas.
