The service was great. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. The appetizers were served soon after they were ordered. Our entrees came shortly after we were done with the apps. The grilled octopus and lobster ravioli were my favorites.

Four of us went on a Saturday at 5 and sat in the corner of the dining room. Waitress was great and the food was very good. Room was filled when we left and the noise level had increased.

Loved the food. Everything was very good, from the baby gem salad to the rock shrimp to the miso soup to the Wagyu Bulgogi. Beautiful ambience in the afternoon sitting outdoors in the pleasant air watching the blue ocean, beach and people walking by. Music was not too loud so one could enjoy a conversation. Service was pretty decent. All in all a very enjoyable leisurely Saturday brunch.

Our reservation was for 9:15, as that was the 1st available slot when i went on Open Table to find a restaurant. We arrived at 7:50 and requested early seating and went to the bar, but it was very small and packed. BUT, the W has a great lobby bar and we enjoyed our time until dinner. Our waiter was one of the best service persons we have ever had. He recommended that the chef slice our filet, which we shared the mid-sized portion. If you come here, ask for Enrique !!
