Superb luxury dinning experience with exquisite food. Had ant eggs and the famous chilli. As well as a beautiful habanero cooked sea bass. Tremendous and a must visit. High dinning and a complete luxury experience.

**Great Ambiance and Excellent Food, but BEWARE** My husband and I were scouting for a restaurant to host our wedding rehearsal dinner for 30 people the day before our wedding. After dining here, we fell in love with the concept and ambiance— the atmosphere was perfect, and the service was top-notch. It seemed like the ideal place for our special occasion. We spoke briefly with the General Manager, Rafi, who was very accommodating and made it easy to plan our event. They worked with us on our budget and menu options, and we were excited for our wedding party to experience it as we had. On the night of the rehearsal dinner, there was a minor mix-up with the wine options, but the food and service were great, so it wasn’t a big deal. However, the issue came when it was time to settle the bill. My husband, who doesn’t speak the language, went to pay, and I noticed he looked concerned. When I joined him, I quickly realized why: Rafi was attempting to overcharge us by adding an additional service fee—one we had already paid per our contract. Despite asking several times to see the full breakdown of the bill, Rafi kept insisting the service charge wasn’t included. After finally getting the receipt, we confirmed that the service fee had indeed already been charged, just as we had agreed. When we confronted him, Rafi tried to shift the blame onto someone else, but it was clear he was aware of the details all along. It felt like he was deliberately trying to take advantage of my husband, knowing he didn’t speak the language, to pocket the extra money himself. This experience left a bad taste in our mouths and cast a shadow over what was supposed to be a joyful evening before our wedding. It's such a shame, especially since the restaurant itself was otherwise fantastic. But unfortunately, due to this dishonesty, I can't recommend it.

I had the pleasure of being served by Abel, and I must say, his service was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we were seated, he went above and beyond to ensure our experience was perfect. Abel was attentive without being overbearing, quick to accommodate any requests, and genuinely kind throughout our meal. His recommendations were spot on, and it’s clear he takes pride in providing excellent customer service. Abel truly elevated our dining experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return just for his impeccable service. Thank you, Abel, for making our visit so enjoyable!”

The dinner was absolutely delicious, but the service truly stood out—it’s the best I’ve ever experienced! So attentive, personalized, and thoughtful. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire evening. Fully recommend this place!
