"I want to a special shout out to staff and manager night of June 1st for my 8pm dinner reservation. I planned a proposal and it felt like the whole place shifted a gear to make it really special and super attentive experience and I am truly thankful for it. I apologize not remember the names of the staff but I was so nervous msyelf I could barely focus. They got our order very quickly had things out in a timely manner and the manager even helped me with the scenario I needed to ask the big question as well as recorded it for me. The food was amazing and fresh and my fiancé loved every minute of it. Great place to go when you want and EXPERIENCE. Thank you guys."

"Beautiful restaurant in the Opal Resort with an incredible ambiance! Unfortunately, the food didn’t match the vibe.
We ordered the brussel sprouts, gemelli pasta and spicy shrimp tacos. We immediately sent the gemelli back, it had zero flavor (not even salt). The dish had so many great ingredients, I’m not sure how they mixed together and tasted like nothing. The brussel sprouts had a nice sweetness to them, but they were undercooked and too hard in the center. The spicy shrimp tacos were great and the fries were super crispy!
As far as service goes, our server took over 10 minutes to come to our table when we first got seated. But, the manager came over and apologized for the gemelli we didn’t enjoy, which we appreciated. There was also some combativeness from the hostess while checking in, she seemed to have a disagreement with two separate people and that seemed odd.
Overall, I think I would come back for a drink because I loved the atmosphere. I unfortunately can’t recommend the food at this point."

"Gave this restaurant a try after seeing it. Reviewed on tick tock was not disappointed. Beautiful interior and exterior and lovely seafood menu choices and wonderful cocktails. Good service, and romantic ambience. Located near other nice shops and venues. The lobster bisque was wonderful. The lobster cob salad was also amazing and the drift Burger did not disappoint."
