"This place was amazing! The food was so delicious. I had the skirt steak & fries. Had an amazing glass of Prisoner wine 🍷 with my meal. Friend had fig salad & a pretty orangey drink. Our server Teresa was sweet. Our view was the most amazing view. All this after a wonderful day at the spa. Highly recommended 💕"
