Food was delicious as always. This time I tried the filet and grilled romaine salad. It was perfection and I’d definitely order it again! The others in our group enjoyed their choices as well. Service was fantastic!! I believe our server was Jordan (I’m awful with names) and she was simply excellent. Ambience is wonderful as well!

My girlfriend and I go there a lot. We usually split the Caesar salad, which is the best ever Caesar! Today we split the avocado toast. It was pretty bland for our taste. We usually think of avocado toast as having some sort of little kick, but this had none. Salt and pepper helped a little, then we asked for some aoli, which was chipotle mayo, which also helped. But we both decided that we wouldn’t order it again.

The waitress was very knowledgeable of their menu and the ambience of sitting outside almost on the beach at night was so romantic. We will definitely go back and will tell our friends about the restaurant.
