    Outstanding food and service! The mushroom spring rolls were incredible, and the strip steak was cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth. The lemongrass dessert was a delicious finish to the meal. Combined with the wonderful atmosphere and attentive waiter, the entire experience was exceptional.

    It was my second time at Fermata and just like the fist time it was amazing! we were very excited to celebrate my mom's birthday here.  we requested one of the tables closest to the beach area because after ordering drinks, we stepped out to see the most beautiful sunset. Then we ordered appetizers; including the tuna, bread with cheese, beet salad, ceviche and sushi. For the entrées we ordered a ribeye, chicken, gnocchi, and the short pasta. My least favorite was the short pasta. For dessert, we got the chocolate lava cake with a candle to sing happy birthday, and we also order the strawberry sorbet. The server was super accommodating with my mom's allergy to canola and my allergy to sesame seeds. The manager of the restaurant was super friendly as well. This is a five star restaurant and the prices reflect that. Next time I am in the area I will definitely bring my family there. Thank you, Fermata🙏🏽
