Fodor's Review:

The red, black, and dark-wood interior of this high-gloss, dinner-only restaurant, with a coconut tree growing through the roof, feels like a lacquered Japanese bento box. Seafood, especially lobster, is the main event. The classic surf and turf is humongous, and the innovative jumbo shrimp or lobster in a pineapple, raisin, and ginger sauce are delicious. Service is smooth and more formal than at most beach restaurants. This is the place to put on your best duds for a special night out and let your tan glow in the candlelight.
