    Food was just OK - pork tacos were too salty and mahi mahi was a little fishy because it wasn’t cleaned properly. We were happy to order a bottle of Flowers Chardonnay from one of favorite makers. Views can’t be beat. Very touristy area.

    There were 5 of us having dinner there. There was music which was a little loud but not overly so. The waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful about the menu. The mai tais were exceptional with a nice pineapple foam on top. The fish was fresh. I had fish and chips-one of the best I've ever had. The desserts were also exceptional. Loved the orange creamsicle pie! All in all a very pleasant experience and great food.
