    Terrific food options for all pallets. Friendly and attentive from the greeter to the server. $9 for garlic bread appetizer is a bit much, but the price for the entrees is high but well worth it. Our waitress Tracy was attentive and friendly. Offering suggestions and smiles. A terrific date night!

    Food was pretty good. Large restaurant so it took a couple hours in total. We were not in a big hurry so that didn’t matter so much. I am a tough grader so most would give it a higher rating. Our server was nice, attentive and knew what she was doing, just a few to many tables perhaps to be around a little more. We had a party of 6 and it was a Friday night. All that has an effect on the overall experience.

    This is a good spot for families and groups. If you like beachy Polynesian style food and a fun happy hour, this is the place. Our server Madison definitely made it better. She was very attentive and very sweet. Sit indoors or on the enclosed deck if you want to people watch and hear the sea lions.

    My birthday dining experience was beyond my expectations. From the booking of the reservation, to the table location, to the server, to the cuisine. The menu contained diverse entree offerings, delectable sides, and mouth watering flavors.
