Enjoyed the experience. The food was amazing (but pricey). Service was unspectacular.

We had a pleasant birthday lunch on a sunday afternoon. The food was expensive but good. For the price, I feel like there should be better service and more ambiance. We had fun because of our group. Don't expect the restaurant to create a fun atmosphere!

As someone who loves to cook, this place did not disappoint. The ocean view and fresh air are of course amazing, but the food was SO good! I had the lobster risotto and tiramisu. Service was excellent! Prices were reasonable given the location. Will definitely be back!

Had a really excellent meal here on Friday night. Great views, really warm & inviting atmosphere, attentive service & the food was outstanding. We split the Waygu Beef Meatball appetizer which was perfect for our party of three. All of us loved it - great, rich flavor in a well-prepared sauce that allowed the flavor to come through. We had drinks - I had a great Italian Pinot Grigio and my friends had mixed drinks that came out perfectly. For our main courses, we had fish tacos (both my friends) and I had the Chopped Salad which was comprised of chicken, vegetables, grains and avocado in a balsamic dressing - so good and a generous portion (having it for lunch tomorrow). And after, I had a soy cappuccino that hit the spot. Couldn’t recommend the place highly enough - Ron, the manager, and Nico, our server do an excellent job. I can’t wait to return.
