    Had high expectations but food was underwhelming for the price. Location was good for sunset. Made a reservation months out but were sat on outskirts by the pool and could barely hear the musicians over bar noise.

    サービス料がやや高く感じる。雰囲気、ロケーションは最高。　バンドが変わっていた。親子のバンドの父親の歌声がとても良かったのだが。少し残念。

    We weren’t seated until 15 mins after our reservation time. I got the prosciutto pizza, which was okay, and my husband got the steak. He ordered it medium rare and it arrived medium well. Because it rained before our reservation, the entertainment was indoors and hard for us to see because we were on the patio. View was unbeatable though.
