My son and I had a great experience Saturday the 22nd. They have nice heat lamps outside. The view is amazing, our server was so fun gracious responsive. His name is Samuel. The view was stunning. We could have a nice meal and enjoy the view of San Francisco. Beautiful clear night. We were plenty warm and the margaritas were incredible. ! I highly recommend, sitting outside when it was a bit colder spectacular. A lot of the tables inside the restaurant are along the windows with a nice view. 50% of the inside, seeing all along the windows with the Waterview.

Fun menu with emphasis on plates to share, creative use of seasonal ingredients and the pita bread is to die for. The Breaking Bread appetizer sampler is a must order. Lamb chops were divine. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive, but not overly so--made for a delicious, relaxing weekday lunch with girlfriends.
