    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!

    We loved the food we ordered and the service was really great. We've been to this restaurant a lot of times and so far we are happy with the service we are receiving from the employees. From the reception desk to the servers and the delicious food. Friendly service especially by Nicholas, our server last night.

    Our server was super attentive and patient with my multiple questions about wines and entrees. Food was delicious and for Cali, prices were reasonable. Lunch for two with (2) beers, a glass of wine and two entrees ran $75 before gratuity. On a Wednesday at 1:00pm, very quiet atmosphere inside.
