    The oysters and octopus were excellent appetizers and the entrees were also very good. My only negative comment is that the Halibut in the daily special was slightly over. It was a shame that the protein was not perfectly cooked.

    Wonderful setting with great food served by friendly people. In addition, I like the access in the middle of winter being able to park and walk in directly from this shelter setting.

    Enjoyed a great dinner date with a friend of mine while in town from Charleston SC. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. Hannah was our server and she was attentive and respectful of our conversation. I grew up on Erie and I was quite happy to experience such fine dining in the city.

    The food is always delicious and presented beautifully. The atmosphere is classy with exceptional water and sunset views. The owner typically stops by the table to thank you for coming.

    I made the res for my husband and my kids. The food was okay. My husband asked for a medium burger and it came back well— way overdone. My daughter got the lobster ravioli. The ravioli were good but the sauce was awful. I make the same sauce at home and this sauce was just not the best brown butter sauce. Overall the meal was okay.

    The food was outstanding! We had a filet and the pork tomahawk. Delicious! We will be coming back for sure. The service was really next level. Especially the owners son (maybe 10?) walking around wearing a suit jacket. He was chatting up guests and checking on things. Really impressive.

    Our food was prepared quickly and brought out hot. It was very good. I personally enjoyed the breakfast flatbread, and my son really liked the omelette he had. The atmosphere was very relaxing. Our server Kimberly was very cordial and attentive to our needs. She made sure my coffee was always refilled when needed. We definitely plan to eat here again.
