Good food nice staff members brilliant smoothie.
I came for the mixed ceviche, it was delicious. My aunt ordered seafood soup, it was also super tasty. My daughter ordered something that wasn't on the menu, but they accommodated her!
OmG. The lobster was fantastic and mashed potatoes...epic. Wonderful service, staff, and drinks were on point. View to live for and a table in the sand. Doesn't get better than that.
We caught maje maje and they cooked it for us and brought a ton of sides.
We weren't expecting much, but it turned out amazing! The fish tacos with grilled Mahi-Mahi... oh my goodness!!!
