We had a private sunset dinner on the beach just like newlyweds. We ate lobster, shrimp and red snapper caught fresh that day. We had our drinks, food and watched the sunset. It was excellent and food was divine!

We had read other reviews of this restaurant and wanted to try it for ourselves. We had the red snapper, lobster and shrimp and ALL WAS delicious. We sat at a table in the sand right on the beach facing the ocean. What fun and good food! Don't forget to try the fried bananas for dessert!
