    Piaggia is a great restaurant for an elegant but relaxed beachside dinner. It's reasonably priced for the quality of the food, which is excellent. And for fellow beet lovers, their beat salad is perhaps the best I've ever had. 😄 Everything was great - salad, entreè, service, ambiance, views, everything. I highly recommend it.

    Great place with great food and music. On Saturday night they have a 30 min fire dance shop that starts around 7:30-8pm. We celebrated our kids birthday. We had great service and loved it.

    This spot has quickly become one of my favorite places I’ve visited in my lifetime. This was a truly unique experience, between the incredible service, food and entertainment. The moment you step in, you feel as if you’re transported to Greece with a night of nonstop fun. The food is also very fresh, flavorful and everything we ordered was cooked perfectly. Shout out to Roberto for making our night extra special. Can’t wait to return to Mexico to come back!

    Very nice middle eastern food, authentic, thoughtfully prepared. Outstanding front of the house hostess greeted and took care of a special situation. Warm friendly service. Started to really storm and the servers were on it right away making sure we were comfortable or wished to make the move indoors. Super pleasant and repeatable.
