Our family was a Legoland for three nights, and this was our favorite restaurant experience in the area by far. The drinks and food were amazing. Service was friendly and very efficient. They took really good care of us. We would highly recommend this restaurant and plan to eat there again whenever in the area.

Very good. We had the fresh fish of the day. Delicious. The Prager breadbasket is always a great starter as well.

The chefs have a heavy hand in salt. Sent the entree back as they were not edible. Waited 35 minutes for them to bring the new order which was so drenched in salt( the filet). No offer of a comp from the manager. We won't be returning.

We shared the papagayo salad, coconut prawns and house made butternut squash ravioli and everything was flavorful and delicious! Service was attentive and atmosphere was great. We sat on outside patio. After a long drive from San Francisco it was a great stop. First time here and I would definitely recommend!
