The food was spectacular. Drinks and dessert may still need tinkering. But again, the food we had was better than some Michelin star restaurants I’ve been to. I will be running back for the food. We had the cauliflower salad, octopus, lamb tacos, and salmon and they were all around 9/10 or better. Wow.
