    The food and wine was lovely. However, the service was a bit average. We were in the back area and we forgotten a few times. We wanted to get another bottle of wine to have with dinner but by the time they came back, we had finished dinner.

    The most professional service I’ve come across outside the CBD. Very well trained staff. The food was very fresh , beautifully presented and tasty. Great wine selection. A beautiful spot on the beachfront, just a little noisy.

    The food and environment were great. However, they forgot the important note from the reservation. I especially remarked it’s my wife birthday and would like to have Happy Birthday on the dessert plate, but came out nothing. Not even a single candle.
