    Overall the experience was enjoyable. The service from the head waiter and assistant waiter was top tier. The young lady running food was seemingly having a grumpy evening. The food was delicious. The shrimp cold appetizer and red snapper entree were well prepared and the presentation was perfect. The black and blue gnocchi was good but over shadowed by the cold shrimp appetizer. The triple tail was heavily seasoned borderline salty and was an odd pairing of textures and flavors with the oysters but all the individual parts were well prepared and the seasoning could be diluted using the warm coconut soup. Dessert was ok. Life is about experiences, this was one we’re glad we could enjoy. Not perfect in its entirety but a solid 4.7/5

    The staff and managers were very attentive. We booked at 5 right when they opened. I recommend this time slot, we were the first ones in…so staff was plenty, by the time we left every table was full and lively! It was a nice balance.

    This is a fun cute place. The food and service were excellent. Excellent value. Steak frites were wonderful! Be aware that it is on the cooler side as most of the restaurant is outside or with protective plastic outer walls so wear warm clothing!
