Haley was my server last night. She was amazing and one reason I will be returning. While I was waiting for my friend I was watching a show on my phone and instantly made a friendly connection and that friendliness did not leave her at all. 10/10 server.

The salsas alone are worth the trip. Tortillas handmade on the premises are delicious. The recently expanded menu means everyone finds what they want. Taco Tuesday is a fantastic bargain. Fish tacos are sublime and made with high quality fish. My mate loves the steak and also fried chicken tacos. Shrimp Diablo was yummy. Love this place.

    Clevel is our favorite restaurant. The food is always superb. The staff is helpful and pleasant. The views are fabulous. I usually order the ahi stack which is absolutely fantastic. The ahi is fresh and the crab, avocado and mango augment both its flavor and texture. The sauce has changed from year to year (There was a time when the ahi was seared but if you requested unseared, the chef complied), but the dish remains my favorite. My other favorite is lobster mac and cheese. It is sinfully delicious, and I am one of the people who can easily devour it in one sitting. The times I haven’t (I am a slow eater) I have finished my “doggie bag” as soon as I arrived home! The rest of the menu is also superb; I have tasted most dishes. But these two are my absolute favorites.

    Anigma is an exceptional experience from start to finish! The service is excellent, and the staff truly goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is elegant and classy, yet unique and interesting. The food is fantastic, and every drink is prepared to perfection. A wonderful combination of outstanding service, beautiful surroundings, and great food and cocktails. Highly recommend!
