The food and service were both outstanding! We had some shared appetizers and 2 dinners, one being the jumbo stone crab claw the other a wagyu steak. Our apps were steak tartar and grilled octopus. I will say I like my octopus a bit more charred, but the octopus was cooked perfectly and the tartar was deliciously fresh. We also ordered breakfast room service which was good. The club sandwich served by the pool was plenty for 2 people to share. We also had the jumbo shrimp cocktail which was 5 large prawns and very fresh! Overall a wonderful dining experience! On Friday night the bar area got very busy with a DJ and dancing, very lively and fun! Will definitely return for the Friday night nightlife too!
