We ended up eating here twice and loved it! The grouper and Mahi Mahi dinner specials were delicious, and the sunset views were absolutely amazing. Add a great bottle of wine, and you have the perfect evening! 🍷🌅

Overall in good experience but some of the menu items were not available and it was very warm. Not sure if I’d go back but if I did it would be closer to sunset.

The view from the deck is very nice at sunset, however, the food was quite average overall. My scallops were great, but the other 3 dishes were subpar to par. My husband ordered peas and rice as a side, and some of the rice was still crunchy - either it was undercooked or had been cooked days earlier. Also, I recommend checking your bill. We were charged more than the price on the menu for several items. Finally, the credit card machine was not working and we had to fill out an authorization sheet, in which they added a large handwritten line for tip although they had already added tip to the bill. We ate at several other places on Eleuthera and would rank them all higher (although only Tilly’s had a similar view).

Surprised there wasn’t additional measures taken to mitigate seasonal fly issue on the outside deck besides stereo cans - table fan or overhead fans would be recommended at a 4-5 star Marriott property. Had to move inside to eat at bar. The seared scallop starter was delicious. The lobster Mac & Cheese was actually bow tie pasta and lobster overcooked, sauce was good. However, most surprising other than being overpriced, they had no limes for a Mule, no jalapeños for a margarita, out of “house” Cab by the glass after serving one glass - only alternative was $275 bottle of Stags Leap, no conch chowder (in the Bahamas?). Very inattentive service for amount of staff in the intimate restaurant. Overall experience was disappointing.
