    We had Sunday brunch; it's a good thing we made a reservation! The food selection was good and flavourful. We had the bottomless mimosa, bloody mary, and margarita options. Mix and match. The service was quick and efficient. My only complaint was that the noise was just a little too loud.

    Sat at outside bar for the full Sunday buffet. Way too loud. No way to have conversation. Food was quite good but very limited variety for buffet? Why no baja fish tacos? Omelet chef friendly and excellent! Margaritas were bitter yuck, but mimosas ok. Bartenders were fast to refill, handle needs! Big crowd, wonderful sunny weather, full view of beach and ocean! Decent 2.5 hr experience, but probably won't repeat due to $70 total cost for one unless I win lottery.

    The place is located nicely opposite the beach and has a nice vibe. The food was not bad but not special in any way. Service was only average. Drinks were very good.

    Food and service were both pretty subpar minus the churros which were excellent and the Baja fish tacos which were pretty tasty. Every single time, we basically had to wait to make eye contact with the waiter from across the restaurant if we needed something. I ordered the chicken fajitas and was pretty disappointed. They came out not sizzling and in a pool of water.
