    The management totally overbooked the restaurant and we were 20 minutes after scheduled reservation. They then tried to seat 6 people at a table of 4. I asked to be moved and they moved us to a corner and again figured out a way to seat 6 people where 5 people fit. Manager did not care about the issue nor offered a solution.

    I had reservations but I called the restaurant before I was going to go . To see if they were able to accommodate me having a baby bassinet stroller at the table because I have a 3 month old . And the lady said no we don’t allow strollers which was upsetting . I feel like anyone should be welcomed . I would have been okay with a table in the corner with the stroller so I wouldn’t be in anyone’s way .

    The hostess Jessica made for a poor experience to begin with. She was extremely condescending and rude. Even though we had a reservation, she refused to sit us because we were a party of 2 and ‘it was close to dinner time.’ I’ve never experienced such poor customer service here. The manager did intervene, thank goodness. Our waiter was great. Food was great. We will return because the location and food are amazing. But please take the time to coach your hostesses to ensure the patron’s experience is enjoyable from the beginning.

    Had a lovely lunch with a great ocean view. The service was a bit slow and the noise level a bit too noisy, but overall, we enjoyed our visit.

    I had my office party arranged for 10. Definitely people arrives in different time. They did not let us sit until all parties there. 8 people were standing outside for 15min in December, in california with unexpected traffic. Finally I talked to manager who sat us but told us we only have 2h!!! For such an expensive restaurant and those many guests want to talk to each other for christmas party!!!
