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.

Enjoyed the ambience, service and food. Specifically the manager was attentive to certain menu requests and wine selection, asked questions and ensured our satisfaction. Both he and our server took time to make the evening more than a meal but instead an eating experience. Thank you Elvira!
