View are spectacular from this place. Picture does not make justice to the beauty. Patrons will eat on the balcony looking at the Atlantic Ocean. Just spectacular. Service was great. We had a small sampler that was good quality. The entrance to the place can be improve to make it more welcoming. Overall, great spot for a quick stop or a meal with a great view.

Absolutely delicious! Loved the ceviche and the mahi mahi was cooked perfectly and was super fresh. I also like how lightly fried the fish and shrimp tacos were. Grapefruit juice was also incredible as were the rice and beans. Can't wait to go back again!

Very tasty calamari and lion fish. Tostones were all right and could have been more crispy, same with the calamari, but everything was very satisfying. Friendly service and amazing views

This restaurant affords you an unparalleled view of the beach and a very angry surf. From wherever you are seated. It’s beautiful. Two level, both outside and covered, with balcony views of the ocean. Service was prompt. We had tacos which were large and very fresh. Chicken and fish and shrimp, all delicious. Piña Coladas are extremely good (you have to say if you want alcohol). Pay at the bar when leaving. Small bathrooms, but clean. Plenty of parking on a strip next to the restaurant, or in a large lot on its east side. That view! Unforgettable place.

The food was absolutely fantastic, with huge portions and an amazing view.We ordered the seafood platter and seafood rice (which was more like seafood with a bit of rice), and both were incredible. The variety of dishes on the menu is truly impressive.I highly recommend this place!
