The menu offers a range of flavors and formats, from fresh, citrus-led seafood preparations to fried or richly seasoned plates. Fish and shellfish are central, while tacos and other approachable dishes give groups room to choose different styles of dining. Cocktails, wine and fruit-based drinks complement the food, and desserts provide a sweet finish.
