I had dinner once, food was very very good. Portions are great in size, which allows you to order few options to share. My family surprised me with a birthday there at there afternoon tea timing. The afternoon tea box, was delicious but coffee was cold unfortunately. The birthday set up and the card idea was so cute. I am definitely looking forward to have more dates there. To try the rest of their menu. Upon arrival you have to ride two golf carts to reach the place. Be there on time.

We tried the winter degustation menu. Fabulous meal made extra special by the impeccable service by David. His sensitivity to my wife's needs (she was feeling cold and he came with a blanket) and concern. Felt like home being served by people you love. One of a kind service by David. Kudos to him!

Gotta say I wasn’t that impressed with the foods, to be honest… but the view was great, especially the outdoor. Drinks (we got a wine bottles and Bellini) were also not impressive.
They also had a singer (not very good) entertained the guests during dinner time.

I visited this restaurant to celebrate my sister's birthday 🎉🎁, and it was up to our expectations. The cake and coffee were delightful. The place was peaceful during the daytime. The only downside for me was the number of entrances we had to pass through to reach the restaurant.
