The food was amazing. The whole fish was off the chain! The service was a bit off, but not bad. If you are fussy about service, you may have been annoyed about a few things. We were there with friends and having a great time so it wasn't an issue for us. Quality and value were spot on.

We had a birthday celebration with 10 people. After a drink at the bar enjoying the magnificent Monterey Bay we went upstairs to the restaurant. We were seated immediately and I was called by my name. Service and food was excellent. Everyone raved about the meal. Flank steak was the biggest hit.
