The service was exceptional and the food was just great! I believe you have to make reservations if you want to go because it's part of a resort but definitely well worth it. Our appetizers were excellent, the steak on the arugula salad was cooked perfectly and the endive salad was like nothing I had before, just great. The main courses were very, very good as well. As for dessert, the creme brulee is to die for! We pretty much stayed at the resort for a few days so we had tried a couple of things on their dinner menu and these are the ones we loved the most. Their lunch and breakfast are buffet-style which is good too but dinner was the best for us! Can't wait to go back again!
