We stopped in after a whale watching trip. It was a bit pricier than I remember, bill was $340 without alcohol and two of us split entrees. We were a party of 6, started off with steak tartare and oysters, both delicious. My sister got lobster bisque and swordfish, both great, especially impressed with soup, it is hard to find good lobster bisque on the west coast. I split the salmon with my mom, very moist and the skin was crisped perfectly; we also split the greens salad which was flavorful. My daughter got the filet trio all 3 yummy. Brother got a shrimp pasta dish and said you could tell they were good quality shrimp. We are all pretty picky eaters, not with what we eat but with how things are prepared. Everything we ordered was delicious.
