    The service and food was top notch! I never had such a flavorful meal that was cooked and prepared to perfection! It was a beautiful experience with the waves crashing below and the warmth from the heating lamps. Our server was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. It was a great dining experience and we will be returning many more times.

    Christina was our server. She did a great job! We had the Brussel sprouts appetizer - delicious. I had the Wedge Salad — best I have ever had! One of my friends had the sand dabs and she said they were delicious. My other friend had the Chinese Chicken Salad but it was not what she was expecting and did not care for it. She was not charged (that was nice of you).
