    We had a great dinner. Sat up at the sushi bar. I have a sesame and shellfish allergy, but our server was thorough. I was disappointed that I couldn’t have a few of the items. I was happy and thankful knowing he had checked in with the chef and preparation. We had a great meal and will definitely be back the next time we visit.

    Had a lovely dinner outside on patio. It was so nice to have a somewhat relaxed dinner after spending quite a few nights eating out at fancy resort restaurants. The live music was a super nice addition too. Food was good, server was attentive.
