    opentableで2名、15時30分に予約し、15時30分に受付に行ったにもかかわらず、受付の女が他の飛び込み客と同じように待たされた。iPhoneで予約メールを表示し少し声をあげて他の受付に抗議したらすぐに入れてくれた。

    Really fun dining experience with a very charismatic waiter who knew the menu well and made great recommendations. A live amplified guitarist was just finishing up when we arrived at 9pm. We sat near a corner of the restaurant very near the ocean (in fact, there were a few sand bags by our feet) with great views. The cocktails and the desserts (several types of cream pies) were the highlights for us.
