   The food was very delicious! They had a great vegan option as well. I enjoyed the Honeynut squash soup made with coconut cream & maple. A pot of their Jasmine green tea was perfect for a chilly afternoon. The service and staff were just wonderful as well with a fantastic View looking over the golf course and Pacific Ocean. 👌

   We were told there was supposed to be a DJ, but there wasn’t but the music was OK and it was a cozy quaint, quiet countdown

   Food was good. They weren’t busy but service was super slow. We waited about 45 mins for our main courses. They messed up the order a few times and over charged us for an additional dish we did not order. The server was not attentive, apologetic or efficient. Such a shame with basic on point service this would have been a great experience

   Service was spectacular: super friendly, attentive and efficient. Noise level was vey high in the restaurant so conversation was difficult. The seabass entrees were perfectly cooked and the chocolate mousse bomb desserts excellent. Overall very good but a bit pricey.

   It was Christmas Night & it was clear they were overwhelmed. We had 3 excellent drinks (highly recommend the roasted pineapple margarita!) The Iberico croquettes were all mashed potatoes and very little evidence of ham - admit I do have a thing against croquettes that are all mashed potato - I think they all should be made with bechamel sauce, like in Spain, period. Especially when potatoes not even mentioned in the ingredients. The Romanesco sauce served with them was very good. Hamachi crudo wasn't all that great - more fishy than flavorful. Then we waited - for well over an hour for our entrees. People who came in after us were leaving & we still didn't have them. Lots of excuses that didn't really make sense, and I suggested perhaps they could at least get my husband's Caesar salad to him before his entree. Finally, it all arrived at once, except for the mushrooms & salad dressing that had been forgotten. Got to say the Wagyu steaks were very good - fatty, but pretty darn delicious! Fries were ice cold & returned but the ones that came back were good. Veggies were very good. Husband got his giant Caesar with his entree. I will give them a pass because it was Christmas, but the kitchen just didn't seem like they were prepared. Will defiitely give them another try on a non-holiday night, but those appetizers & service/timing need some work.

    Took my elderly parents there for Christmas Lunch. Very nice restaraunt with a great view. Artichoke appetizer was decent. As far as the main course, it took 70 minutes to come out after ordering. Our server disappeared for about 45 minutes, so we had to go to the hostess to ask about our food. When the food did arrive, it was cold. They did end up comping the whole meal. I do not recommend.
