I'll be honest with you, I really wanted to hate this place, because it's obviously a tourist spot and you pay the tourist price. Unfortunately, the cocktails were great, the service was amazing, the spot next to the water was lovely and the food was very very (unfortunately) delicious and of great quality. Sorry locals, I couldn't do it. It was absolutely tasteful and nice ingredients.

Very interesting place at the end of a very primitive road. Food was pretty good and obviously well known as they are very busy despite their remote location.
