    Enjoyed the experience. The food was amazing (but pricey). Service was unspectacular.

    We had a pleasant birthday lunch on a sunday afternoon. The food was expensive but good. For the price, I feel like there should be better service and more ambiance. We had fun because of our group. Don't expect the restaurant to create a fun atmosphere!

    As someone who loves to cook, this place did not disappoint. The ocean view and fresh air are of course amazing, but the food was SO good! I had the lobster risotto and tiramisu. Service was excellent! Prices were reasonable given the location. Will definitely be back!

    Excellent food and service. Odd that they call,Text and make you confirm reservations over 5 times but still amazing none the less. Lobster tacos were a hit!

    Had a really excellent meal here on Friday night. Great views, really warm & inviting atmosphere, attentive service & the food was outstanding. We split the Waygu Beef Meatball appetizer which was perfect for our party of three. All of us loved it - great, rich flavor in a well-prepared sauce that allowed the flavor to come through. We had drinks - I had a great Italian Pinot Grigio and my friends had mixed drinks that came out perfectly. For our main courses, we had fish tacos (both my friends) and I had the Chopped Salad which was comprised of chicken, vegetables, grains and avocado in a balsamic dressing - so good and a generous portion (having it for lunch tomorrow). And after, I had a soy cappuccino that hit the spot. Couldn’t recommend the place highly enough - Ron, the manager, and Nico, our server do an excellent job. I can’t wait to return.
