The customer service and the food were both outstanding! We had the 917 burger, the salad, and the octopus, and everything was absolutely delicious. The bread and butter were also a delightful touch. To top it off, the view of the cars was a fantastic addition, making the entire experience even more enjoyable.

Ask for Anthony to be your server. He’s the best - attentive, friendly, welcoming, professional. Their salmon salad or entree are the best! If you like salmon, you must definitely try their salmon.
