DO NOT COME HERE . Me and my friends came to eat here for special dinner (8 people). Before coming in, there is a gate you pass, I ask the gentleman there where to park, I was told there was ONLY valet parking. Coming in, I have no cash and only my card on my phone, keeping things minimal for payment. Completely normal. The dinner goes on, and the food comes, I order the Lobster Maine Tacos mind you costing 28$ dollars. It seemed like a small portion because it absolutely is. Before coming here I recommend looking at videos or photos of the food because a normal portion for the these 28$ tacos were 4 servings, they gave me 3. For a well reputable restaurant this is disgraceful and I don’t understand the logic behind this. Alongside this, I order sushi, great food and the waiter was patient. Going on into the night, we were ready for the cake. The waiter asks my friend if she would like to cut the cake, again normal. Later on we find, that just CUTTING the cake would cost the table 20$ more. Not informing us of such cost. The bill is requiring a 20% TIP, unbeknown to the customer or is never mentioned till the check is given. The scenery is admirable and however 2 feet from the restaurant where people eat was a large roach. To top it all off, I go to get my car from the valet, once I am approaching my car I apologize for not having a tip, this woman tells me that she’s sure I “tipped my server and bartender though!” with pure disrespect. The food is good but not good enough for such a hassle. This business will not get my service and I recommend NOT...

We came here for dinner and were blown away by everything, from the food to the atmosphere. We started with the wahoo tiradito, which came with a passionfruit aji and micro cilantro; such a perfect balance of fresh, citrusy, and just the right amount of heat. We also shared the Mediterranean dips appetizer with whipped hummus, labneh, olive tapenade, house pita, and sliced carrots and cucumbers. Everything tasted super fresh and flavorful, and the labneh and tapenade were especially delicious.
For sushi, we ordered the spicy tuna roll, the Goddess roll (the truffle miso glaze was next-level amazing), and some nigiri. The nigiri was excellent; very fresh, generous cuts, and was beautifully presented.
To drink, my partner had the "Nauti", made with spicy reposado, blue violette, prickly pear, lime, and a tajin rim. I tried it and it was refreshing, unique, and highly recommended, and she loved it enough to order a second one.
Our server was fantastic! She was super friendly and attentive without hovering. She struck that perfect balance of being available when we needed something without constantly interrupting the flow of our meal. Made the experience that much better.
The vibe was just perfect. Right on the water at the marina, with a relaxed yet upscale feel. It honestly felt like we were on vacation. We’ll absolutely be...
Read moreOur second time here in a row. Headed back for Sunday brunch with some new friends. Honestly, I could eat here for a week straight sampling the entire menu.
Last night, we enjoyed crispy chicken cooked in beef tallow (god-tier) and a simple lightly blackened black grouper with a Caesar salad I could eat every day for lunch for the rest of my life!
Both nights my husband said he felt like he could be in Greece or Monaco—beautiful breeze from the water, music that was fun but not intrusive or overwhelming to table conversations, and service that is outstanding.
We went to the bar after dinner as our server, Channely, a gem, spotted two seats for us. Carlos, one of the bartenders, suggested cocktails, expertly mixed them and once again, the experience was nothing short of divine. We had the opportunity to speak to the chef about his vision, our experience and to provide the very best feedback on a dessert special that have now had twice and hope they add onto the regular menu (Japanese cheesecake with a rich chocolate sauce poured over).
Zach served us tonight, recommending the sushi boat, which was one of the best I’ve had—no imitation seafood and beautifully presented.
Wonderful meeting Trish, a woman who cares deeply about providing her patrons with an exceptional...
