    I made the reservation for a nice dinner to celebrate a neighbor lady"s birthday .This place was her request and there has never been a bad experience here. This is part of the Landry's chain, and they hit the spot on all levels. I made the reservations for a perfect Saturday evening. We checked in at the hostess stand and were greeted by Sofia. I explained that it was a birthday and she acquired the best table for two, ocean view with nobody in front of us. We sat in the bar, and within minutes of our reservation time, Sofia escorted us to the table. She let us know that our waiter that night was going to be Jose, and he was both very knowledgable and accommodating to our needs. They had specials of the day, but we both opted for beef. My guest had the filet mignon, with the Caesar salad, and I had the three course special including the prime rib. Water and bread and butter was offered at the table and was drinks. The entire meal was cooked to perfection, the quantity and quality was well worth the money and Jose and Sofia were both professional servers. Free valet parking as well as a world class view, make this a hidden jewel for singles at the bar, friends getting together or a date night, and for larger family get togethers. Keep up the great work, and I even thanked lead manager Peter on the way out for a nice meal. best always. Ray M. 92009.

    We've been coming here for years. Food has always been fantastic, and that hasn't changed. The service this time around was very lackluster. Server never came to check in to see how everything was going, and when you have to ask the server for a refill, that's usually a problem, particularly when the restaurant was 1/2 full. Every wedding anniversary we've made it a point to come back to celebrate; a 2 hr drive no less. Spending over $120 we'd expect a higher level of service. When I make the reservation days in advance and ask for a window seat, and we're not given one when seated; only to have 2 tables open up a few minutes after sitting down. The service was simply not up to par. This is the first time we've left with a bad taste in our mouths. We're considering choosing a new place to celebrate our anniversary in the future, unfortunately.

    This is a very beautiful location. Tables right at the shore is a stunning backdrop. Great and varied wine list. We opted for the Franciscan Chardonnay ($46). Excellent bread service along with perfect clam chowder. Two entrees; Chilean Sea Bass w/lobster risotto ($58) was outstanding. Mahi encrusted with macadamia nuts ($40) and mango sticky rice was excellent, as well. Strong coffee and mud pie for dessert was a great conclusion. Everyone was great; Ashley our server was kind, knowledgeable and very pleasant. Recommend highly
