    Food was good! Service was good. Restaurant charges a 3% fee for credit card purchase-- Come on it is 2025 and you are in a tourist town. Total negative from the start with extra fees. Put your profit margin in your menu prices and cut it with the extra fees.

    Our favorite place to have lunch - terrific salmon sandwich (bacon too yum). Waiter was excellent and provided the perfect birthday treat (flourless chocolate cake) that really topped off the lunch. Thanks for consistently great lunch and service!

    Had the eggs Benedict and bread and butter pudding. Food was good and had a nice window seat so was able to watch the tourists go by.

    We had not dined here in a while. We decided to have our Valentines Dinner here and we were NOT disappointed. The restaurant was bustling on V-Day so the vibe was energetic. We had a wait a bit but totally understand on such a popular night. We each enjoyed our entrees- there were 6 different special entrees that night . My Halibut was delicious and my husband said the lamb chops were perfectly cooked. In all a very enjoyable evening

    Waiter Hector provided non-intrusive, efficient and pleasant service. Bean soup was vegetable with a very few beans, mislead, expected "bean soup"... French Onion excellent. All entrees well presented and total clean plates at our table. One desert satisfied happily 3 diners. Wine average, wine prices high for quality of wine. Felt Glasses of wine well over priced. Would return but bring wine from our cellar and if corkage charged, gladly pay.
