    We came to watch the sunset and we heard they had great food. We were not disappointed, pricey but the food was really really good. If you’re ok with paying the money it’s worth it. Short rib was good and the oxtail pasta was crazy good. Cock tails are solid as well. Wines by the glass are geographically limited but the Tyler Chardonnay and the Chianti were very very tasty. Staff was very nice are server was always there when we needed something. We are thinking of heading back for another sunset with a bigger party before we leave the island. I was thrown off by the grilled Cesar salad. Never had a salad that was grilled before. It was a strange experience and the butt of the salad was still on so I’m not sure if they clean it well. None the less we still ate most of it as we were hungry haha but would probably not order it again

    Great restaurant with quality food and service. Unfortunately our wait staff no less than four times had to return to our table to inform us that the drink, dish, or dessert we ordered was unavailable. Seemed odd they were short supplied of multiple menu items.

    It was a very enjoyable experience. The family had a great time! I was worried about a few negative reviews I read on yelp, but all the complaints I read were not an issue for us. We made the correct booking, a server greeted us as soon as we arrived and we were promptly seated, and the server was very friendly. The drinks were fun, and the family really liked the fun glasses. The food was tasty as well. I especially enjoyed the sliders.

    I recently visited for the first time for brunch, and it was such an energetic and lively spot! The atmosphere was inviting, with plenty of buzz to keep the energy up while still feeling comfortable. The food was absolutely delightful. I tried the Croquet madam and it was perfectly balanced with rich flavors. The crab cakes were equally impressive—crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside. One unique aspect of the experience was being able to play board games while waiting for our food. We chose Scrabble, which made the time fly by and added a fun, interactive twist to the meal. Overall, this place is a great choice for a delicious brunch with a side of entertainment. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu and enjoy the lively vibes!
