    Wow, wow, wow! The sunset was spectacular. The service was excellent. The food was Michelin star worthy, for sure. The prices, though very high, were well worth a very special experience. Overall, a perfect Christmas dining experience. Hoping to stay a couple of nights this summer. Thank you!

    Great dining and ambiance. Wait staff and front of house personnel are top notch. Even with being in a high tourist area this restaurant delivers a five star experience at a reasonable cost. And they have been here for 45 years. We have been customers since opening. Who would have thought… Keep up the good work!
