sunset dinner

What is a good time to make a reservation for a dinner to see the sunset? 6? 7? Looking for a nice romantic anniversary dinner if anyone has suggestions. Thanks!

make the reservation for 6 or 6:15, so you can get settled, and enjoy maybe a glass of wine or iced tea and enjoy the beauty.

We liked an Italian restaurant up by the lighthouse called Trattoria. Picturesque
sunset, food was delicious. My recommendation is to be choosy about your
seating with the hostess. And you may have to forgo meat in the dishes
for this meal.

The we ate at Simply Fish, mother nature didn't offer a great sunset but still
the food was great. I especially liked the soup for starters. Somewhat pricier
that the average meal.

La Trattoria el Faro Blanco is another one of the places that seems to get a lot of mixed reviews around the web but we agree

We have been there twice previously and will be having dinner on June 12th there so we'll be adding a current review for it when we return as well.

We went to Passions on the Beach, the view is romantic and beautiful but the food is just so-so, not much selections either!

I totally agree with you about Passions. We ate there on Valentine's Day. The atmosphere is incredible and just can't be beat, but we thought the food was just ok. We had better meals at Madame Janettes and Chalet Suisse on that trip.

Would suggest Marandi down by the airport. We try to get there by 6 and the sunset has always been great. Food is good also. If you have a rental car it is better. Cab fare would be high.
