Sami is our favorite and Eduardo was fantastic with him. We only come here because of them. They make this experience the best ever for us. It was my 16th wedding anniversary and bday and they made sure we not only got the best table, but that the meat was constantly available. They brought us delicious pineapple, made sure the evening was spectacular. We are definitely going to be coming back all the time!

Fantastic once again. We have been coming here for over 20 years and highly anticipate each visit. We had smoked fish dip and claws ti start. Both were excellent. Fresh claws and very flavorful. Conch chowder and ceasar salad were great and then we share a delicious branzibi. An absolutely fun and memorable experience.
