    We went for a wine dinner (J) for the first time. We normally go to Olea. Our first experience was phenomenal. Russ and Kyle put on a great event, with tremendous service and the food was fantastic. There were 88 people in attendance and it was just an amazing experience. We can't wait to go back.

    The view is amazing and so is the staff. They even made sure we were warm as we were sitting outside near the ocean. Food was good. We had Ribeye steak which was tasty and ordered sides of brussel sprouts and potatoes au gratin. large order for sides enough for two or more people. Drinks were good but on the pricey side. Expected as this is the beach and hotel is going through a reno. Beautiful spot! The people that work here are great and music was perfect! Definitely a place we will be visiting again and again.
