I just don’t think you can ever go wrong at this place. We’ve been going there while on vacation for the past 12 years. Always friendly, food is always good, can’t beat the view. To assure a great experience though, probably best to make a reservation. It’s a big place and usually has available seating, but making a reservation might eliminate an unanticipated wait.
