    The Marine Room is a culinary gem! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with an unparalleled view of the ocean that sets the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable dining experience. The seafood here is absolutely top-notch—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I highly recommend trying their Glazed Swordfish. It’s clear that the chefs take immense pride in their craft. The service was equally impeccable. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself to an elevated meal, The Marine Room is the place to go. It’s not just a dinner; it’s an experience. I can’t wait to return!

    Delicious food beautifully presented. I had the shrimp and scallops with risotto special. There were many specials so don’t judge by the regular menu. Service was a tad slow - kitchen issue I think - but it was worth the wait.
