    The food was delicious, they had a fish taco lunch special going and phenomenal cocktails. The view was absolutely beautiful and our waitress, Ellen, really made the experience. She was extremely attentive and kind and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our meal.

    Our server and the overall ambiance was lovely. It is loud so you should be prepared for that. Dinner more-so than brunch. The food was just ok this time. Brunch, however, was excellent.

    It’s so delicious. Consistently great! Fresh fish. I recommend getting a side of the rosemary gnocchi. It’s one of our favorites.
