## Review Highlights
- Bill Kuzbyt - 5/5: A fantastic place. That is our go-to place when new guests are in town. The service is second to none and the food is excellent. And to top it off, the view is just spectacular for watching the sunset while you have an excellent dinner. Or later. Jose was unbelievable to every one of our requests and needs.
- Alexander Staudenmaier - 2/5: The atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant and the food tastes very good, although the prices are too high for the quality offered, especially the drink prices do not correspond to the offered standard.

In addition, the restaurant charges an obligatory service charge of 20%, which in my opinion is extortionate. Even if this is in accordance with the applicable laws in Florida, the system of tips and service charges has gotten so out of control that it is no longer fun to go out for a good meal.

Especially in a restaurant like this one, which considers itself a high-class establishment, I expect that even without a service charge, appropriate wages are paid and a tip is paid as a sign of special service, which was the original idea of tipping.

In the end, the person who buys a more expensive bottle of wine, for example, is “punished”, as they then pay a proportionately higher service charge than a guest who orders a cheaper bottle, even though the “ effort” with both bottles is the same and the restaurateur earns more from the more expensive bottle anyway.
- Aaron Medenwald - 5/5: Absolutely top notch service provided by Jose and his team. The food, service and ambiance made for the perfect date night without the children.  The outdoor patio was laced with heaters and firepits and blankets were offered as well. This was our first time visiting but we will certainly be back soon!
