I made this reservation for my cousin and his wife that were visiting PV. It is one of our favorite places when we are there, and wanted them to try it. I also purchased a gift card for them to use, and the staff there was great about presenting it to them when they arrived. They had a wonderful time and loved every bit of it! Thank you to the staff for making this work!

Beautiful ocean views from second floor dining space. We opted for a dry foot table rather than one of their “dining pool” tables. Cute concept but we had just walked a few miles and didn’t want to take our shoes off to eat. Very friendly staff. Food had great depth of flavor and was unique to many of our other dining experiences in the area.

We had an absolutely wonderful meal with superb, attentive service. They pay attention to every detail and are right there to serve you. Food was outstanding! The restaurant itself is beautiful. Our only ‘suggestion’ would be to cut the music level In half so you can visit with each other. That would be our only complaint.

Energy and service is great. Seems like a great place for group dinner. My prime filet mignon was seared a bit aggressively on the grill and served on a sizzling stone allowing me the interaction of bringing it from rare to medium rare as I ordered it but this cooking method does tend to dry the outside of the delicate filet a bit. My truffle fries on the side were underwhelming, but I did enjoy the complimentary chips and dip a lot. My cheesecake was dry and bland but they very graciously made sure to replace it with a delicious tiramisu upon seeing that I did not like it. Overall I would recommend as a lively, fun steakhouse with great food, attentive service and panache.
