The worst octopus I have ever eaten in a restaurant. It was rubbery and bland. Very disappointing. It took my wife 2 minutes to chew through a single piece.

The stopped in for a quick bite to eat. The hamburger was delicious. Tasted like it was cooked over an open flame. I'm not positive but boy was it good?

It was a little crowded so service was a little slow, but friendly. Prices are reasonable compared to other restaurants in the island.

I love a good painkiller in this place has a really good one. The zucchini fries or whatever it is we’re very good. I don’t know how they do it but it’s delicious. And the firecracker shrimp were also tasty.

Stopped in for a drink and appetizers, the drinks were good, the Calamari was meh. Service was great, and we sat at a high top table on the patio so the view was perfect for people watching and you can see the ocean

My wife and I saw the Surf & Turf sign, and we were feeling a little adventurous. The amount of food in the surf & turf is significant, a lobster tail and either a 14 or 12 oz steak (I think those are the right weights). We got the 14 oz steak and split the dish between the two of us, and it was plenty of food to satisfy us both, especially with the two sides thrown in. For sides, we got the scalloped potatoes and brussels sprouts. Both were fantastic. The lobster was good, and the steak was okay. Neither were exceptional though the steak was cooked perfectly medium-rare. I would add some more salt and pepper to the steak as it is cooked, and maybe cook up some garlic chips to add. If you really want to ratchet it up, include a little wasabi. The only thing a good steak should need is a little extra salt to taste and wasabi. The only steak sauce available was A-1. No shade to A-1, but that is a dish-saver-sauce, not an accompaniment to a truly good piece of meat.

For service, our server came out and gave us updates on how long it would take for the meal to be ready without any prompting. We saw her doing that for other tables as well, so the service was really quite good.

The price is fairly steep, but you must keep in mind that this is an island where the majority of food stuffs must be shipped in, so prices will be higher than normal.

The service was great but the food was very mediocre. Not really worth the price for what it was.

Great service, great food (especially that spinach and artichoke dip!!!), fast service, and large portions for what you’re paying given that it’s on the island.

got the Norwegian salmon and was thoroughly disappointed. that was a solid 4 brussel sprouts and unseasoned, borderline raw salmon. not worth it for the price. for a restaurant on an island, you'd think they have better fish
