Easy to get to, Attached to an ice cream shop, and large portions at reasonable prices. What more could you ask for! Perfect dinner stop. The drinks were great reasonable price (about $10 US) but 2 for 1 between 7-9 PM makes them extremely cheap. Not fancy food, but for a burger or pizza it is perfect.
We came here happenstance after a day at baby Beach… The music was a vibe (def louder and more upbeat- wouldn’t recommend for very little kids) and the food was delicious and inexpensive. Shout out to Jaenae, our server. She was awesome! Will come back next time we’re on the island!
A great place with a live DJ, great Happy Hour, and decent food. I had pepperoni pizza and it was pretty good. They don’t have any dessert, so, you might have to go to Ritz next door if you develop a sweet tooth.
We are so happy that we found this place, but wish we would have found it sooner. We stay near Mangel Halto and it's only 5 minutes away. It's also a great pitstop if you are heading back downtown or to the Palm/Eagle Beach areas from San Nicolas or Baby Beach. The service has been fantastic every time that we stopped by. They have two different happy hours, but great prices even when it's not happy hour (prices in Florin). Local feel, but very tourist friendly. Open late, and a lively but friendly local experience in the later hours.
Food was cold and not very good. Service was mediocre and quite slow. One cocktail we got had very little syrup in it and the second one we got had too much. The only reason we got two was because it was buy one get one. I would not recommend this place unfortunately. Atmosphere was decent, but besides that, it was a disappointment
