    The staff at this fine-dining restaurant shared a birthday celebration for my sister. We both had the salmon dish, and I would recommend it without a doubt. What could be nicer than looking out at the Pacific Ocean and enjoying delicious food served with prompt and professional service?

    It was a rainy day, the bar was busy during happy hour but not loud. The specialty drinks were tasty and of different creation. From reception to table service, Erin or server... and the restaurant manager, the service was good, responsive. We had some issue with the 1st wine we selected and Erin noticed we were not drinking so she offered a change. Manager came, we settled and was happy with the new selection. Same thing happened with my Cioppino. there was hardly any seafood. I showed Erin.... Manager fixed it. :) It was a tasty bowl of Cioppino. That is the kind of service I would expect from any restaurant. Thank you Erin, Leo and evening Manager. We will be back for the service and the view.
