The food was tasty and served well. The service was appreciated. However, the parking validation was not complete. We had a bad experience when we exited the parking facility because the validation did not work. It was very frustrating. Every other experience was very well done.

I went to dinner with my mom and my daughter for my birthday and I showed up about five minutes late and they did not make a big deal. They sent us in the best table in front of the most wonderful sunset view. I recommend go .@4pm if you want to see the sunset. The lobster tail was so sweet and the filet mignon steak was so soft. The crème brûlée sampler is to die for. I will definitely be going back for happy hours.

We were impressed the moment we were seated at our table which was elegantly set with white tablecloth and sparkling glassware . White jacketed waiters were a testament to the lost art of professional service that seems to exist only in fond memories. The assortment and display of epicurean seafood was the crown jewel of this expansive delicious brunch.

Great place for a family birthday party when you have kids. It was a Saturday night, and there were lots of families. They let us bring in a cake, which was great. Food and service were also great. It was very lively. We loved it.
