This is an exceptional restaurant, particularly for its views on a sunny day. The service is very good and the food was good. I had the lobster roll which was more a lobster burger and my friend, a Cobb salad that was a deconstructed Cobb and not in a good way. The fish appetizers were good. It is quite the scene and the great place to “wow” out of town visitors. I find the $20 valet parking annoying.

Great experience for 17 year anniversary. Andreas was a great waiter and treated us well. Only minor issue was that we got a cocktail with lipstick on the glass. Other than that, the evening was excellent. Will definitely come back!!

Came here for brunch yet again and it’s never a miss. Have tried the breakfast burrito which is very filling and my favorite is the avocado turkey wrap. The iced coffee is stellar as well but most importantly is the service from the staff. They are all very welcoming but we love the service provided by Angel. He is attentive, friendly and a master in hospitality. Despite how many customers they receive he always seems to remember our last interaction and provides the best service. Highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast and lunch. Looking forward to try their dinner
