    Starting with the welcoming greeting at the door, we had a fantastic experience. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the food and wine. Great team work at delivering food. Everything cooked perfectly. The presentation and taste of the tiramisu was such a treat. The outdoor seating was comfy, with lots of heaters. Dogs welcome and our waiter brought our dog a bowl of water. The music was a touch louder than we’d like, but really not a problem. We highly recommend this restaurant and will return!

    Amazing celebration after our wedding. The food is always great and our server, Jessie was cheerful, appreciative of our celebration, brought a mud pie as a wedding cake and genuinely joined in to make our experience so festive and joyful! The bay was beautiful with clear blue skies. It could not have been better. Thank you for helping us celebrate the day.

    Probably the best taco I’ve ever had. Our server was knowledgeable and passionate. They accommodated us moving up our reservation. The drinks were amazing and I still dream about the carne asada taco. 11/10 would go back in a heartbeat.
