It's a nice restaurant at nice location with the great view. Most of the food we ordered were delicious. It takes awhile to cook and serve. The restaurant should consider keeping only few signature dishes and removing the rest. Service is great and staffs are super friendly.

It's a treat to see what used to be an abandoned lighthouse with graffiti all over transformed into a romantic place at night with music, ambient lighting and dinner. This would be an ideal place for group gatherings. And they promised a more experienced chef with their new improved menu. I didn't care for 2 out of the 5 dishes we ordered but it wasn't bad at all. Worth the view.

Its overlooking picturesque view of Saipan bay along Garapan area. Cool place, nice fusion menu of Japanese, American, Chinese, Indian/Thai cuisines, to name a few… a variety of drinks from milk teas to hard drinks. All ordered menus taste so good!

I threw my daughter’s birthday party here in October and the manager and staff were all so accommodating! They even performed flawlessly when we added 15 people to the guest list on short notice. The food was great and everyone worked well under the pressure of it all. Definitely a place to eat at for views, good food, and GREAT customer service!!

This place is wonderful! Very friendly staff. We ordered sushi and ramen and was not disappointed. The service was quick, and the servers were on point. Highly recommend. Might be the best place on the island! Ignore the negative reviews, they don’t seem to understand how restaurants on a small island like this operate.

Food was fine, cant say it was the best but, one of the best views is Saipan. Must spot to visit during the evening Try visiting on Tuesday for their special event. Also the spot where BTS stopped and did a photo shoot Staffs are very friendly, and the sunset was beautiful
