Food solid, decor pleasant, but service lacking. Don't tell me I cannot have a booth because "I just sat someone in that servers station." Dear Hostess: This is not an Applebee's! And then the waitress was WAY too casual. My wife and I rolled our eyes a couple of times at what came out of her mouth. Check lagged the meal way too long. Take it up a notch folks. On the flip side, the guy watching our water glasses was on top of his role.

Has the right look (in the room and on the plate) and the right direction on the menu but fell strangely flat. Tiger prawns with mushy texture. Oddly lifeless pork shoulder. Strange sweet and sour sauce on an otherwise boring piece of salmon. We had very high hopes but only the salad and a risotto starter really satisfied. Waiter treated us like tourists, too.

The outdoor cabanas are fantastic. The small plates option is frequently the most desirable dining option. Extremely large bar scene.
