Great dining and ambiance. Wait staff and front of house personnel are top notch. Even with being in a high tourist area this restaurant delivers a five star experience at a reasonable cost. And they have been here for 45 years. We have been customers since opening. Who would have thought… Keep up the good work!

This was one of the best meals we’ve had in a while. The view was spectacular, the chowder one of the best from the Monterey Bay area and the sirloin, pork chop and ravioli all cooked to perfection. All other local restaurants we’ve been to charge extra for bread, but this one was complimentary and delicious. Our server was attentive and friendly. We will definitely go back.
