This is hailed as the best seafood on the island, however i beg to differ. Don't get me wrong, the free van service is a nice thing, but the restaurant is all outdoors, no a/c so I was dripping sweat into my $122 2.5 lb crab... we asked for the fan to be moved towards us, which helped, but after a long day of snorkeling and sun exposure, it wasn't a pleasant temperature in the restaurant. A+++ service and the food is very good, however nothing extraordinary for the prices (surf and turf $50), etc...

A romantic setting on the water. Wait staff, Jane, was very attentive. I had the mangrove crab. My husband had a steak. We both loved our food. The vegetable sides were so fresh and delicious. Jane explained that they were locally grown...yum. They also had a great local musician playing live music. Highly recommend!

Mediocre expensive food - nice setting…$38 cioppino was a blah mix of frozen & local seafood in bottled tasting marinara sauce … have a drink, a couple of apps maybe & quit while you’re ahead
