The building is a beautifully restored 19th century colonial building. The atmosphere is intimate and charming. We were treated to a welcome cocktail, a family style meal, and drinks. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was a refreshing and luxurious surprise.<\/p>\n<p>If I could go back I would eat everything but the seafood all over again.\u00a0If I had to pick a favorite or two I&#8217;d choose the shredded beef and the guava\/coconut\/cheese dessert which was super interesting and tasty. I really loved the art and interior design\/atmosphere of this place. Such a romantic venue. I can only imagine how incredible it must be in the evening with a bit of live music. Gorgeous place!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-3910 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_7703.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_7703.jpg?fit=450%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_7703.jpg?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_7703.jpg?resize=150%2C200&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_7703.jpg?resize=300%2C400&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_7703.jpg?resize=450%2C600&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_7680.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_7680.jpg?fit=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-3913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_7680.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_7680.jpg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_7680.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_7680.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/carolandkarl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_7680.jpg?resize=320%2C240&amp;ssl=1 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-3913'>\n\t\t\t\tOur meal began with assorted breads.
