    The service was amazing! We made reservations to celebrate my husband’s birthday and had to change the time due to being caught out on Point Reyes on a beautiful day They were so kind and accommodating, not only for the time change but for special dietary needs in our group. They were very personable and very attentive! The food was great too. I would definitely recommend!

    Everything we ordered was delicious. King Salmon, Rock shrimp pasta and frittata were all hits. Earlier got some tapas like olives, hummus and especially recommend the ceviche. Will be back to try some other things on the menu like the pizzas.
