The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. No view to speak of because we dined after 6:30 pm and it was foggy and dark outside. There was a loud obnoxious table of six not far away from us and they interfered with all the diners. The restaurant was under staffed but our server was as attentive as possible considering how many guests he was responsible for. The meal choices were varied and our salads and steaks were outstanding. The crème brûlée was creamy and delicious. Rather pricey at about $240.00 for our bill. We would definitely go back!

Excellent food and service. The ocean view is fantastic! We arrived at 5pm so the place was not crowded. Got a great table with a corner view. Noted tables near windows are heated at the lower level. Nice feature along with menus that light up for better viewing at night. Had the steak which was cooked to my preference. Dessert was also delicious. Is expensive but we knew that going in. Great choice for our last night in town!

Spectacular views, great service and amazing food. 10/10 recommend coming here. My gf and I had the clam chowder, cesar salad, garlic fries, crab cakes, and fresh fish sandwich. Arguably the best garlic fries we’ve had and look forward to coming back.
