    Food was delicious, staff service was fantastic, price point was as expected. Our table of 8 ordered many differing items - each of which came out hot and delicious. Portions were perfect. I’d recommend this restaurant for that special dinner.

    Delightful lunch on the veranda overlooking the Batiquitos lagoon. Interesting menu. Excellent wait staff. It has a high end golf club feel. Cool bar too.

    Your waiter, Jessie, was so nice and very friendly and prompt. The eggplant bulgogi was not what I expected, no sauce just battered eggplant, a bit disappointing. The Filet Mignon was amazing and cooked perfectly. Any more I can't get a rare steak done so evenly- it was great. The crab and lobster bucatini was also very good. It was a great meal for our 53rd anniversary.

    Chose this place to celebrate a big milestone birthday and honestly didn’t feel special at all. Requested a specific drink to be delivered as we arrived to the table but the waiter made it a bit awkward and ask if we still wanted the drink. Also felt as we requested a nice view we were sat in the back and missed the entire sunset. But we got a view of the golf course. Dinner reservations were for 6pm. And when we arrived the restaurant was not overly busy. So felt there was no extra effort to acknowledge a BIG milestone birthday.
