    New Years Day brunch. Bloody Mary’s were tasty and the French Onion soup was fantastic. Had the short rib French dip. French fries were hot, crispy and fresh. The sandwich was tasty but would have liked a little more meat to go with the bread. The Au Jus was tasty and complimented the sandwich well. Will look forward to going back to try other menu items.

    Party of 6 for Christmas Eve. Dinner was fantastic. It was busy but the service was great. Great ambience and lighting. Curated cocktails. Noise was well controlled. Food was the star of the show. We were there at night so I can't wait to go back for lunch to see the views of the ocean from the dining room.
