    We went on a Saturday night and sat on the patio. Ambience was fantastic. Heat lamps to keep you warm. Food was delicious, service was excellent. We will definitely be back!

    What a great afternoon seaside with one of the best lunches around. We had the pork shank with gnocchi with a squash purée as an appetiser. We also had a side Caesar salad a roasted beef and citrus salad along with cookies and cream cheesecake and pumpkin pie. Everything was absolutely superb.  the service was on point we can’t wait to return.

    This place operates in an absolutely outrageous and completely unacceptable manner. We had a reservation at A+O Restaurant at Balboa Bay Resort. Our total bill was $378.20, and we intentionally left a tip to round it up to $400—that was the amount we authorized and agreed to pay. Later, we discovered that our card was charged $500. When I called to ask what was going on, they sent me a receipt—a falsified receipt showing a total of $500, with an altered amount and a completely fake signature that is NOT mine. I never signed that receipt, yet someone on their staff clearly forged my signature and changed the total. This is blatant fraud and a criminal act! They are liars, so be careful with them. And to make matters worse, they never admitted to their wrongdoing.
