   This was a celebratory birthday lunch for two. We were promptly seated in our requested preferred location. The window-side views are unparalleled just about anywhere. Both the host and server greeted my wife by name and wished her a happy birthday. Service from Kate was professional and most friendly. Food was quite tasty. If I had to dig for a criticism, my wife's lobster and corn chowder was served at the same time as her lobster role. We did not think we needed to specify chowder first. I think the kitchen should have known better. This is not an everyday dining room, and if you're looking for a value meal, the value is in the extraordinary atmosphere and bold ocean view. This is truly a special occasion venue. We would do it again in a heartbeat.

   The service had a relaxed grace. The view was stunning, and the seating invited you to linger. Then the food arrived, and the whole experience got better.

   Excellent service and food! Lunch in winter is even better than dinner, because you can enjoy the view and the sun isn’t in your eyes!

   We were there to celebrate my mom's 85th birthday. The staff, especially Faith, were outstanding. They went above and beyond to treat my mom to an experience she'll never forget. We had a great time, the food was terrific, and we couldn't have asked for better as far as being treated as if we were truly special.

    We had a nice time for a birthday dinner here. The food selection was not so unique with a hom hum salad selection but the service was excellent.
