    Clam chowder was outstanding. Love the calamari strips, fish and chips, big eye poke. Love the view, watching a big sea lion swim by us!

    Christmas or New Year dinners at a restaurant are, by their very nature (i.e. a time everyone wants off and demand outstrips supply) going to be a compromise scenario. The experience here was surprisingly uncompromised. The service was fantastic, the appetizers (clam chowder, spinach salad, artichokes) were uniformly wonderful and generously proportioned, main courses were very good as well, although the prime rib wasn’t quite as well seasoned as one might expect, it too was cooked properly and properly proportioned. Don’t read that as a complaint, not on Christmas, nope, that was a minor compromise that did not diminish from a wonderful experience.

    Fantastic Christmas turkey meal for lunch, even better than previous years. Great staff and we had a wonderful server Madison, the whole restaurant seemed in the holiday spirit but with no silliness, yet always efficient in their roles without anyone getting rattled with the volume of customers/etc. The extensive menu besides the Christmas special looked great, must have been 20 choices all looking great and reasonably priced for what you wanted.

    Overpriced for what was delivered. Probably a better bet simply for lunch outside on a warm day.
