Delicious and creative dishes. Had the zucchini soup and the octopus appetizer. Both were incredibly tasty. For dinner we had the brisket which came highly recommended. It was so buttery soft we didn’t need a knife. Also had the catch of the day which was red snapper in a feta/mashed potato and caper accompaniment. Wow! They start the meal with pickled eggplant and bread—simple but yummy. Our server suggested the passion fruit sangria. Great choice. Servers were attentive and just lovely. It’s cozy and modern inside. This was our fav meal on the island hands down.

Sebastion is the best chef on the island! His team does it right! Steak, lobster, fish... unbelievable! I love to sit at the sidewalk counter and watch the chefs cool on the grill and wood fired oven!! Definitely one of the best overall experiences!

We enjoyed everything we ate! The grilled calamari was good but not for me due to the texture. The bread they give you with that eggplant spread is amazing! The pork belly Bahn mi was excellent, perfectly crisp. My lobster and risotto dish was cooked perfectly and came with a nice orange butter sauce. My companions grouper was also very well prepared. Service was amazing, constantly checking in on us and our drinks were always full. The ambiance is very nice with an upscale island feel. I would recommend this place and I see why others do as well.

Excellent service, and excellent food. We had a large group and they accommodated us with ease. The food and drinks were excellent. We enjoyed sitting at the “bar” close to the street, as it allowed us to see the food being prepared. The lime dessert was delicious and refreshing. Looking forward to returning!

Wonderful food and staff. This place brings bread for the table and when we let them know we couldn't eat it (both have wheat issues) we did not expect anything to replace it, but they brought us a super cute carrot and cucumber dish they whipped up. Excellent food, comfortable open dining in the evening, amazing staff!
