Wonderful location, excellent service. Was so nice to meet one of the partner owners Henri and the manager. I wish I had time to eat more of the menu but Ill definitely be back and hope I can celebrate my 50th there this August!

We came here for Easter brunch and all of us were eager to eat and relax. Unfortunately, we ended up waiting over 45 minutes to even place our order. I had to ask 2 people who weren’t our waitress if we could order. Finally, we were able to order and get our food. Our waitress came by a max of 3 times and was very impolite each time. Our brunch that was supposed to last an hour and a half max but turned into an almost 3 hour wait with poor service and poor attitude. The food was pretty good; however, the bad service made on top of higher prices made the food not worth it. This was very disappointing and we do not plan on coming back.

It was our first visit, and everything went beyond our expectations. Despite our missing party, we still received seats with a great ocean view. As for the menu, it was pleasing to find vegetarian and pescatarian options. We will definitely return to try the rest of the menu.

We had a pleasant birthday lunch on a sunday afternoon. The food was expensive but good. For the price, I feel like there should be better service and more ambiance. We had fun because of our group. Don't expect the restaurant to create a fun atmosphere!
