Thank you, we had a wonderful experience! From being greeted at the door, warm bread on arrival and Tara our server, all was great! Food was fresh and well prepared. I had the tacos special which I loved with Duckhorn Sav Blanc. Husband had Parmesan crusted rock fish. Loved it. And our service dog Redd slept quietly under the table.

I like the hostess, she's always fun to chat with, and very friendly. Our server was attentive and friendly. We were given water and some bread right away. My husband had the salmon, and ate every bite. I had the french dip, which was good but not great. The fries were very good and my husband polished them off since he had a healthy dinner otherwise. We each had a glass of wine, modestly priced, and that was dinner! A very good meal with a view of the water!
