Beautiful location, especially with all the holiday lights along the harbor. The fare was good, not outstanding but well prepared contributing to a nice evening. Service was good as well.

Loved the ceviche. Grilled tiger shrimp was good. My son said his fish and chips were the worst heʻs ever had. The other food (lunch quesadilla and halibut plate) were good, but not remarkable. We had come to celebrate my other sonʻs birthday and there was no mention or acknowledgwment of it. Waitress was attentive and good at keeping sodas and waters filled.
