The setting is perfect. The presentation of the food is beautiful, but the quality was lacking sometimes. Best to have a reservation, we got seated inside one night - hot and still vs. outside with a slight breeze - were told the three empty tables outside were reserved - but they stayed empty throughout our entire meal and were still...

The dinners we shared were excellent, with friendly service and accompanied by a stunning sunset view every evening.

Although they were not busy, it took 2 hours to eat in a hot, open-air restaurant that had a "long pants" dress code (although it is not enforced). It took 20 minutes for the waiter to even approach us. The food was extremely bland. The fish was overcooked to the point where you couldn't even tell what kind of fish... More

Do not come here if you want good food and want it fast. Expect to wait more than 30 minutes before you even get asked what you would like or water. Awful!

Believe it or not, the weekly buffets are an excellent value - and are followed by a Polynesian dance spectacle. Continental breakfast is probably more than sufficient for most - many fresh fruits, French bakery items, cold cuts and cheeses. Dinner is good if not spectacular, service is slow for some - but this is a culture that values relationship... More

Breakfast here is above average for hotel, but I wouldn't consider that a part of the steak house, they just use the space for breakfast. Couple of positives: The waiters were extremely friendly and were the best part of our visit. The view of course is unbeatable and that is where the positives stop. Dinner here was the worst I...

Get your dinners included in your trip meal plan. Average meal costs $75 per person or more. The chef is very friendly and visits the guests in the bar area before the dinner service starts.

This is without doubt the worst "steakhouse" I have ever eaten in. First - they had more other food than steak. Second I ordered rare - very rare infact to empahsise since cooks down here do not seem to agree with mild cooking. I got a nearly well done hunk of something. The fish was grilled to an unrecognizable flavor.... More

I can't possibly say enough good things about their breakfast. It was included in our package, so I can't really comment on the value. Water and coffee are available, of course. Also included was amazing pineapple juice, papaya juice, and mango juice. There is a decent selection of hot items, including pancakes, bacon, sausage, bread pudding, and a few other... More
