The food was phenomenal and the service was outstanding. If you want a special place to go in the west county, this is it! We tried the onion soup, Delmonico steak and au gratin potatoes which were delicious. They made our anniversary and Valentine’s Day feel extra special.

Excellent meal, excellent service. We were seated in a timely fashion. The server was very personable. Food was served hot and cooked to order. The only issue was the desert. We ordered Key Lime pie. The crust was so hard it was nearly impossible to cut off a bite with the provided spoon. The key lime filling was a whipped cream consistency with a very distinctive aftertaste. My wife, as well as I, only took a single bite. The server noticed and offered to remove it from the bill.

My wife and I spent our 5th anniversary in Vegas & ate at Giada’s. Our experience there was amazing. We enjoyed everything & would eat there again in a heartbeat. We were greeted by our server Nancy with a glass of Prosecco. I had the signature lemon pasta with shrimp and my wife had the filet. Then to finish we had the chocolate soufflé with marshmallows. I look forward to my next trip and stopping at Giada for a meal will always be on my list to do.

Came here for a Valentine’s day dinner. Server was outstanding with information about the menu and the way dishes are meant to be shared. Food was phenomenal. We had the green beans, hamachi poke, grilled pig face and skirt steak. We also split a maple miso budino and a glass of port for dessert. By far the most delicious meal I’ve had in years. Setting was so cosy and casual while being chic and fun.

Extraordinary server. Attentive but not hovering. Excellent timing serving food and drinks. The NY strip was generous and prepared as requested. Some people order “stuff” on top of their steak. But a good piece of beef — like mine — needs only a little salt. The on duty manager runs a tight ship and it showed top to bottom.

Chris, our server, was impressive and most attentive. Even learning names of folks at our table and addressed correctly each time. The steak was delicious and cooked to perfection. We're always excited to dine at Jimmy Kelly's.

About the restaurant
Mama's was recommended to us by several coworkers and my goodness they did not disappoint!! First off the restaurant is located next to this incredible beach with turquoise blue waters and dramatic seafoam capped waves. The grounds are covered with lush tropical greenery and plants. We attended the restaurant on one of our last days as it was close to the airport. We were celebrating our honeymoon and they sat us where we had exceptional views of the ocean. We ordered a Pink Hibiscus drink and a Bourbon Sour, which were both strong and delicious. While waiting for our appetizers, the waitress provided us with fresh warm, soft bread served with butter and a delicious small serving of bisque. For appetizers we had the crab cakes and they were so delicious and flaky golden. For the entree we both ordered the stuffed mama's Fish, and my goodness it was the best fish I have ever had. Its the fish of the day stuffed with crab and seerved with a lobster tail and the lobster was cooked perfect. The fish is covered in a pineapple sauce but doesnt taste like pineapple at all. For dessert, we had a banana crumble served warm with ice cream and a chocolate pie with a caramel crust, super rich but so delectable for chocolate lovers. This was the priciest restaurant that we have ever eaten at, spending around $200 for the 2 drinks, appetizers, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts. Maybe slightly overpriced, but I'm telling you it is the best on the island!!!! Definitely a must. 10/10 recommend. Service was excellent.

Fabulous. My wife had the Steak Frites. Perfectly cooked. And the char was great. We even got a gift before leaving. The view was awesome too. I have never been in a building that high up before.
