Wonderful Restaurant  5 Star Rating - World class

This is a fantastic restaurant from the food, to the service to the water view. The menu has such an interesting variety and the food presentation is wonderful. Great outside bar area - perfect for a happy hour.

AWFUL SERVICE!! 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

How is it possible to have a reservation and still have to wait an entire hour for a table?? This place is COMPLETELY unprofessional, the management staff obviously have no idea what they are doing!! This place is fine if you clear your calendar for the entire day and wish to stand in a standing room only bar waiting an hour even though you made reservations! And we werent the only ones, there was a list of people who had made reservations that waited as long as some longer than we did! After an hour we left and vowed never to return! It's great that they have a band, but who cares if you cant eat and have to listen to them from the waiting area?!

Cons: MANAGEMENT, SERVICE

Awful 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

I went here becuase of great revies and was very disappointed. The service was the worst I have experienced anywhere, when we were eventually served we got the wrong food. Our server was obviously very busy, maybe they were short staffed or something, but a very expensive experience.

Samba Room Swings! 5 Star Rating - World class

Late for our reservation we called to say we would be coming in, they say no problem.
We were seated promptly when we arrived. The food was EXCELLENTE!!! As a chef myself, I was impressed with the Chilean Seabass, and the Satay selection. The ceviche was very good,and my only criticism was that they could have been more generous on the serving. Our waitress was excellent, she was polite, funny, and gave us all the time we needed with out being too "present".
For you Salsa dancers... check out Saturday nites late. We danced til 2:00 a.m. with a great live group playing. Awsome!!!

Pros: atmosphere, food

Excellent service & food 5 Star Rating - World class

Went there this weekend, great service, competent wait staff, friendly hosts/hostess's, food was fabulous. Our order got messed up and the entree was taken off the bill - no questions asked. Top notch, will go back!
