    Great food! Little loud when we first got there but as the crowds started to thin out it was much better. I would highly recommend this restaurant. I wish I had booked the reservation earlier so we could have seen the sunset!

    Asked for table with a view. Was placed behind a wall inside. Apps were excellent (ahi and calamari). Entrees were 1 for 3 - burger and tuna very good but halibut special with two grilled shrimp were both cold. By the time anyone came around to ask, it was 3/4 eaten bc it was cooked and I was starving. Dessert with ice cream and macadamia nuts was destroyed by the three of us. Disappointed as I talked it all up and first time for quests in SD. Luckily, I was the one who ordered the halibut 😝

    Nice location due to the water view. Service was good but the brunch foods were mediocre.

    First time in awhile we have had dinner there, normally it is lunch. The steaks were both very tough compared to what you find in steak houses for a similar price. We couldn't even finish them due to how hard they were even cooked medium and medium rare. The calamari came out in sticks, not rings which reminded us of buying them in the grocery store. Seasoning was somewhat bland and since they were large sticks, the flavors were missing. Service was OK but they could use more than possibly two touch points before bringing the bill. The manager spent more time talking to people he knew, and in fact the only time he spoke to us was when we walked by to leave. "Thanks for coming".

    The halibut was amazing! The filet was moist and tender. The sauce was light but complimented the fish very well. The view of sunset was beautiful. Make the reservations for 4pm so you can get the window seats.

    The food was good but it was the second high end restaurant that over spiced/flavored the seafood broth to the point where you couldn't taste the delicious seafood. The service was amazing.
