Food: Subpar taste in bikini season

    Menu offers something for everyone, excellent for diverse palates.

Vibe: Charming ambiance but missing the connection

The atmosphere blooms with cozy, stylish vibes and stunning harbor views, complemented by live music. However, the excitement is often drowned in noise, creating a backdrop that alternates between delightful and deafening, which is not ideal for intimate conversations.

  • Great Drinks

    Extensive, high-quality drink selection with innovative, tasty cocktails.

  • Okay Comfort

Perks: Parking lot chaos meets slow service

Parking demands mandatory valet, leaving diners at the mercy of unpredictable fees. Service is often slow and inattentive, overshadowing the potential enjoyment of the tropical escape, while cramped seating leaves many longing for a little breathing room.

  • Great Outdoor

    Patio is spacious, comfortable, with great weather adaptations, very intimate.

  • Okay for Groups

    Mixed experiences with group seating options but generally good service.

  • Bad Speed
