This was my first visit to this establishment and it was a bit confusing (if you’re not familiar with the area). Do not use the hotel entrance. Instead, head to the parking garage and take the elevator to the 6th floor. When you step off the elevator, make a left, and walk beyond the luxury stores. You will then make another left, after the art gallery.
Okay, so once you’re at the main restaurant entrance, you’ll be greeted by security for a temperature check and instructed to sanitize. Make a left, and you will see a bar to your right and an open galley to your left. You will then approach ANOTHER security station and AGAIN asked to sanitize.
I was more interested in dining on the party deck side but was told it was full and cannot be accommodated ????. Alternatively, I was seated on the dining deck side. It was basically separated from the lounge by a low metal fence so I was still able to enjoy the music.
My waitress for the evening was Notholee. She was courteous and efficient. She was nice enough to snap a few photos of me since I was solo dining and she checked back in me often enough, which is always a sign of good service.
Ambience: despite being on the non-party/lounge side, I was still impressed. The fire pits were a nice touch and the view is beautiful.
Food: Grilled Prawns for an appetizer (meh!), a bottle of sparkling Rosé (????????), Rib Eye Steak and Mash (????????absolutely did not enjoy and actually didn’t eat. The beef was hard but rubbery all at the same time AND cooked at the wrong temperature. Definitely wouldn’t recommend). I ordered the Cajun Pasta and asked for chicken to be added to replace the mediocre steak. Surprisingly, when my bill came, the rib eye was still listed but Natalee was so nice about everything, I couldn’t be bothered to address it.
Overall, highly recommend for the vibes and champagne but eat somewhere else first.
Also, the restrooms are located allllllll the way on the opposite side of the pool. Happy to have been wearing a flats ????
