   Service and view and seaside ambience was lovely. Fish tacos were not. Very dry. Not at all like real fish tacos that you get in Mexico or Hawaii. Very tiny actual tacos, and only one layer; big chunks of BREADED fish, hardly any filling, no coleslaw or salsa inside. Disappointing, from a fish-taco lover. Had to ask for mayo to make them remotely palatable. Not something I would ever order again. I think they need to add to and improve their non-meat offerings, because otherwise it is a lovely spot which I enjoy visiting with my friends and also my husband. Wish the meals were a bit more inspiring, that's all.

   Long waits for service, mediocre and unimaginative food servings. Shrimp salad lettuce was taken out of a plastic container with shrimp and egg plopped on top. The other entrees were mediocre. Service was extremely slow and the restaurant was not full. Will not be going back. There are too many excellent restaurants in the city.

   Lunch, mid-March, weekday. Very quiet. It is not spring yet but the weather is clear. The view is great. There are few customers and it is the time for a perfect cozy moment with friends. It only miss a big fire place for our generation to thrive. The food is good. No pretence. The service attentive to our needs. Recommended. Fancouver.

   It's always nice to be dining out near the beach and watch the sunset. The food was tasty and our server was excellent! It made a pleasant evening for us. Thank you.

   I had a grilled salmon sandwich which came in a hamburger bun. It was a bit messy eating it but it was very good and the fries were delicious. My friend had a crab sandwich which was made the same way. She said there was no real taste of the crab but ate it all anyway. The third person had mussels - they were delicious.

   Lunch for two at the window. Very nice view. A burger and the Poke Bowl. Both were good. We shall return, it was a nice experience.

   Very good food, had Calamari, Crab and Lobster Ravioli and New York steak which was very tasty. Service was a little slow, didn't really see the waiter after the food was served, no refills on drinks. Found the level of service odd seeing it was a very quiet night in the restaurant, very few people dining. Overall a very good experience, food, view and ambiance.

    It was a great experience and a nice surprise birthday treat to celebrate . Eggs Benedict were very good , potatoes and French fries were the best we have ever had . Lattes were lukewarm warm . The patio area is well heated in fact it got too hot so heaters were turned off . Great view of the beach and passersby . Definitely worth coming back for brunch.
