    We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience! Starting in the bar with great drinks and fantastic sunset viewing on the patio, to the quiet table for 7 to celebrate my husband's birthday! The drinks and food came in great timing, too! The steaks and seafood dishes were very delicious, as was the baby back ribs!

    The quality of the food was very poor and not in good condition. The service was great, friendly and professional and location exceptional.

    The food was delicious. I had the Chilean Sea Bass and my husband had the ribeye. The view was amazing. The service was the only thing I wasn’t impressed by. Overall I had a great time with great food and great company ❤️

    The food was good, the service was great… but… it was SO cold. Uncomfortably cold. I don’t know why they didn’t have their heater going but it detracted from the experience.

    Love this place. However, we were all shocked with the amount of food you got for the price. Very small portions. I don’t remember it being that way. But the place is so great and great service!!!

    Sunday brunch. They weren’t stingy with the pouring of mimosas, so the value for the cost was pretty good. The food was a typical brunch buffet, nothing very noteworthy flavor wise. The prime rib was above average for a buffet. The ribs had good flavor. The Mexican food items were bland and could tell they had been sitting for a while / soggy veggies, dry meat.

    Got there early at 530 for a 6 pm reservation, hoping to get in a little early. They said no due to other reservations, however we got sat at 555pm and there was 5 tables outside since 530 that were still open. When we left at 7pm there were still those same 5 tables outside open. There seemed to only be 1 server outside working and she was amazing.
