This restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outdoors near a portable heater and the lovely outdoor fireplace. Great food, service, and ambiance. Top quality menu with something for everyone. Hands down the best nachos I've ever had. Ask for the homemade salsa. An added bonus is the voucher for the signature margarita that is given to you when... More

Liked: The best Nacho's I've ever had. Disliked: Not having time to stay longer. There are several seating areas, two outside with umbrella shaded tables and the interior (my favorite) with a nice fire burning in the fireplace.

The food was good here, and the service was good. One in our party had to leave early due to an illness, and we asked that her meal be boxed. The waiter misinterpreted our request and boxed all of our meals, so the remaining two of us ate our meals in the boxes at the restaurant. (They did offer to... More

Signature Margarita's, Chicken Mole Enchilada's, Free Range Chicken dinner, were enough to eat. Managed to try the chocolate pudding cake, with fresh berries, very tasty.

Very nice and casual resturant. Sorta lounge seating outside but indoor dining is available. A blanket was offered as the evening was chilly! Of course the margaritas were good as well.

We took advantage of the free margarita's and enjoyed chips and sausa on the patio in front of the out door fireplace and heaters. Great atmosphere in a great setting.

Great grounds, good food, but not the most romantic rooms. About a mile walk to the beach, which is a nice walk. Very friendly staff, rooms a bit spread out on unusual floor arrangements.
