We had a fantastic dining experience at lava lava! What a gorgeous spot on A Bay! We had a delicious dinner while watching a beautiful sunset! The food was very delicious! The poke nachos were delicious and fresh! And the mahi mahi catch of the day was scrumptious! I loved the coconut Mai tai! Jax was a great server!

We had a wonderful dining experience at Meridia! What an incredibly beautiful spot ! The ocean views are amazing! The food was so delicious! We enjoyed the very fresh and local ingredients in the beet salad! The konpachi special was so tasty and beautifully plated. The branzino was grilled perfectly and delicately seasoned and filleted. It was a special night and our server Elizabeth was extremely friendly and enthusiastic about the menu! She gave us terrific suggestions and let me taste some wine before deciding on the Sancerre, which was excellent! The chef walked around to the tables and greeted everyone! Make a reservation for a table with a gorgeous ocean view and fabulous food!

    We ate here twice and had the BEST experience. We had the same server - Faith - who was just great! Friendly, helpful, just the best. Food both nights was just awesome (especially those biscuits). The first night we split a salad and an entree and they graciously split them for us. That’s why we went back the second night.
