    We had reservations to celebrate our 35th anniversary. They sat us as soon as we arrived. It was a perfect location. We could see the ocean and eventually the sunset. Our appetizer was served in a timely manner. Our dinner also was served not too long after. We enjoyed the calamari first and shared the pistachio pesto halibut with mushroom risotto. My husband and I both loved the meal, service, and ambiance. We would return because it was such a great experience. Our waiter AJ was exceptional to make it a perfect memory.

    We were seated outside and the heater was nice, but it went out and was never relit. Our server was horrible. We waited 15 minutes just for water and didn’t bring bread plates. After another 15 minutes we flagged him down to order. He brought salad, but not a side plate to share as we requested when ordered. No refill in iced tea came, never check on our meal, asked for lemon for the fish, another 15 minutes and still no lemon(do you let the sea basss get cold or just eat without lemon?). Manager said she would box food. Waited another 20 minutes for food and a dessert. Finally had to go inside and request. They had no idea where my stuff was. The manager said waiter was taking it out. They had no idea where it was. Server was coming out of restroom with phone in hand. The manager was apologetic, but little was done. We left to go to the Valet (great service) and manager came out with the bag of stuff as we were pulling away. There are so many wonderful places to eat in the area, so we won’t be back. Food was good, but not worth the poor service.

    The food was not as good as we were expecting. My wife got the Kobe steak and it had a lot of fat in it. My Sea Bass was not very flavorful. They said it was a 5 course meal but in reality it was only an appetizer and main course with small bites in between. The desert was a buffet. For the price it was not really worth it. Our server barely came and checked on us throughout the dinner. Unfortunately we probably will not be back.

    We were very pleased to get a lovely window seat, that was far enough from other tables to allow conversation for our party of 5. I have dietary restrictions and allergies, which the caring staff took care of happily. Food was delicious. Highly recommend the three coarse specialties, as well as the pork chop entree. I wasn’t impressed with the caesar salad, but the lamb lollipop was a tasty appetizer. Everyone enjoyed their food. We’re going to come back!
