Reservation - I called the restaurant and the call was answered within three rings. I requested a table on the verandah/balcony to watch the sunset. Parking - Sufficient parking available as it is part of a Hotel Welcome - We were welcomed by the restaurant supervisor/manager and were escorted to our table. A beautiful table with a view of the sunset, ocean and swimming pool. Drinks - We ordered margaritas, coffee martini and an old-fashioned cocktail (Whiskey) - Tasty, delightful, refreshing and good presentation Service - Jane, Uttam, Mudaher (Apologies if spelling is incorrect) were good waiters.

Venue - The inside seating of the restaurant is air-conditioned with a beautiful display of the bar, rustic, welcoming and cozy. The outside seating has wonderful views of the ocean, swimming pool and sunset. Food - We ordered the Chicken, Steak and nachos. Very tasty, well prepared and excellent presentation - Well done to the kitchen staff!
