Reviews
Rose and Coconut – $19
Ketel One Vodka, Domaine de Canton, strawberry & coconut mix, lemon juice, coconut water.
This was a really good, fairly strong drink. We enjoyed the strawberry and coconut mix and felt it was a great poolside drink. It was not too sweet and was very refreshing.

Chips & Dip – $19
Smashed avocado, Aleppo, sunflower seeds, EVOO, pita chips. Vegan.
This dish was unbelievably fresh and delicious. We felt that this was an elevated option for lovers of chips and dip. This will be a great starter dish to share.

The Goddess Burger – $25
Double Black Angus beef patty, herb mayo, cheddar, caramelized onion, tomato, Bibb lettuce, bacon.
The Goddess Burger has us saying, “Wow.” The herb mayo was the true standout and amped up the flavor of the whole dish. However, all of the ingredients worked together to create a great, high-quality burger.

Beef Kebab – $29
Chermoula, garlic sauce. Gluten-free.
The pieces of beef on the kebab were huge, and the chermoula and garlic sauces were delicious. The chermoula was almost like a spicy chimichurri. The garlic sauce was also very good. It only had a slight garlic taste, but was delicious, nonetheless.

Key Lime Tart – $12
Torched Italian meringue
We could not tell what the pearl toppings were, and the crust was very hard. The tart itself was not very creamy. Instead, it was almost gelatinous. The pie is really good, but it does not really resemble a Key Lime Pie. It has more of a lemon flavor. We also felt that it was a good value for the price.
