Location: Inside the White Elephant Hotel, with easy access from the parking lot.

Greeting: My wife and I were greeted by Elena. She was very welcoming despite a steady stream of calls coming to the hostess stand. She handled the calls and the guest walking in with poise and grace.

Seating: We were sat at a table overlooking the harbor. I dare say there is not a bad table in the outside seating area. The sound of the harbor and the scent of the flowers is wonderful.

Setting: Our table was set for two upon arrival. The settings faced the water and each other. The water glasses and the silverware were spotless. No water stains. Impressive.

Atmosphere: I was pleasantly surprised at the mixture of families with small children, young adults having a night out, mature couples enjoying their meal. The lawn with the corn-hole game was wonderful for adults and children. The inclusive outdoor dining area on the deck and the lawn allowed each demographic to have fun.

Facilities: The facilities were spotless, well lit and well supplied. Elan kept the place looking great, despite children dining there. Thank you Elan.

Service: Impressive. Michael was our waiter. He did a great job greeting us, guiding us on our orders, and watching over our dinner from a respectful distance. Bob, the manager of the place stopped by to welcomed us and checked back with us later in the meal. It is clear his professional attention to detail is sincere. Michael and Bob, well done.

Food: Excellent. The farm fresh tomatoes from Bartlett's Farm hit the spot. The lobster was grilled and prepared for easy eating. The lobster was cooked perfectly. The Filet was juicy, and cooked just right. The chef's suggestion of several sauces gave me the unique chance to taste each sauce. I decided on red wine sauce as the primary. I learned how each sauce brought out a different flavor. Now the desert. The black forest cake served with a sorbet was a strong ending to the meal. Split between my wife and I, the desert was filling but not too filling.

Overall: Casual Elegance. I will eat there again on my next trip to the island. I look forward to their Sunday Brunch.
