La Yola serves up amazing seafood and Latin dishes. It’s a little on the pricier side, however, you’ll quickly learn why. Not only is the food delicious but the view from the dining tables is to die for. Enjoy a luxurious meal as you gaze out onto the water and listen to the sounds of the ocean.

This is the perfect place for a romantic evening or an anniversary. Modeled after a fishing boat and located in the marina, you can enjoy your meal here and the turquoise water.
