    Peter our server was excellent. We’ve had him twice with great service each time. The ahi tina chop is delicious and so is the harvest bowl. The ambiance is nice with a lively vibe. We will definitely be going back.

    Would family had a booth and watched the sunset. Our server Brett was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the menu providing attentive service throughout the meal. The cocktails were fun and there were a few local beer options. We had three appetizers, all of which were delicious: octopus, beef carpaccio and roasted cauliflower. This was the most unique and best food we’ve had in the area. It’s a little pricey so good for special occasions.

    This was a great location to watch the boat parade. Unfortunately, we had reservations and they wouldn’t let us get seated until all of our party showed up, later on they told us that they don’t usually do that when you have reservations so that was unfortunate The food is marginal, but again this was a great place to watch the boat parade.
