    I try to eat here as much as I can. Food is always excellent. Pork Chip and Scallops are my favorites. But that Crudo dish we had last night was perfect. Can’t wait until I go again.

    exceptional food, both delicious and artfully plated. A dessert so fabulous (so called "corn cake") that we almost ordered a second. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. What a great thanksgiving; hope to come back soon.

    Great location and ambiance! Excellent wait staff and recommendations were spot on. Would recommend they add a bit more options to the kids menu. Very much enjoyed; we will definitely come back!

    The ambiance, the food, the view…..awesome! The server…….he obviously didn’t want to be there! We ordered oysters; he told us there were only 3 varieties. There was no soup or bread on the menu. The server next to us offered the soup of the day, bread and 4 choices of oysters to his customer! A sliding door was behind our table; our server went out to rearrange a table and left the door open with the cold air blowing in. For the service alone, we will not be returning to this awesome restaurant. It’s a price tag I will repeat with someone who is happy I have sat at his table!

    Went for the oysters and was disappointed. The rest of the meal was really good. Had a delicious Tuna tartare tower. The ceasar salad was different and inventive. The Bone marrow with tartare was amazing. Our server was terrific.

    Everything was fabulous, as usual, except that the food service was extremely slow. The server even apologized because things were taking so long. We’d still go back. This is one of our favorite places and definitely one of the best seafood spots on the central coast.

    Excellent from start to finish. Terrific professional service. Delicious, high quality food, and wine. One of the better meals I’ve had recently. Creative without being crazy.

    I have dined here a few times, but I think the best part of tonight was the service. From the hostesses to the bus person, server, and manager, all were friendly, accommodating, patient, professional, and very nice. The ahi appetizer was terrific. They have a decent wine list, and although I did not have dessert this time, I have in the past, and they are very good.
