As always, a wonderful dining experience. Our waitress, i think her name may have been Avely, was amazing. We were impressed with how quickly this restaurant recovered after the recent hurricanes. We loved the mojitos made tableside, and as always, their salad was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant for both the food and amazing service!!

Ambience and view are excellent, food as well - early bird menu was great value. Service was a little off and website/menu/etc doesn’t mention that happy hour is only the bar area, otherwise would have been 5 stars.
