The only bad thing was that were seated outside under a trellis. A pigeon messed up on our table from overhead on a beam and then later I got splashed on my shirt by one sitting on a different beam So don't sit under that structure if you can help it.

Food was delicious. We ordered the homemade guacamole/salsa and chips, carne asada tacos and hamburger/fries. Everything was great. The view was amazing as well. The service could be faster but that may have been because they were understaffed. Regardless, we had a good experience & plan on returning in the near future.

We have been coming to the Marriott's restaurant for many years and in the past year it has greatly improved. We had an anniversary dinner here in June which was lovely and having lunch on the patio yesterday was wonderful. The setting could not be prettier and the service and food were perfect. We had the Mexican salad with chicken and we all agreed it was excellent. We have made plans to return the end of the month.

The restaurant has a fabulous outdoor area which drew us to want to eat there. However the fish was very dry.
