    Was extremely enjoyable and love all about it. One of our guest got a small portion of fish compared to the rest of use and they corrected the issue immediately with no problem. Very exceptional service.

    Quite the pleasant experience at the Kits location for my guest and I. We made a reservation during a busy Sunday evening with a sunset-watching table that was quiet and we were not disappointed with what they provided us. Service was extremely good and timely from ordering to food delivery. They even allowed us to stay well after they closed since we were enjoying our evening so much. Thank you for an unforgettable dinner!

    Sometimes we all have our off days. I love calamari, but this was a miss for us. Perhaps it should be reimagined. The Caesar salad was ok, but the croutons kind of tasted stale. Plus side the staff are really friendly and helpful, and the ocean view is a lovely add on to any occasion. I’ve been here a few times over the years. The menu has changed and it’s missing the crowd pleasers. Hopefully it was just one of those days. I really do love the location, ambiance and the friendly staff.

    We had a wonderful relaxed lunch with our baby. The staff were great in accommodating our stroller and setting up a high chair for her. The table had lovely water views with natural lighting. Our server was attentive and very friendly. She was thoughtful in offering water, crayons, etc for our baby. Our brunch items were delicious and had great presentation as well. We will return again as it's a lovely walk to the beach as well.

    The view is amazing. However, there were very few vegetarian options. I understand it's a seafood restaurant but having at least a couple of vegetarian options for the apps and mains each would be amazing.
