"My swordfish with ravioli was very good but only warm. The second patron had to send the soup back because it was only warm. Then her dinner was not even warm. The msc cheese side dish was barly Luke warm and had to be sent. back to the kitchen. The maitre'd came to our table and apologized and removed the dinner charge for the second patron. I would give the restaurant a second chance"

Great open feeling and service.
For Catalina - the food is great. For a normal great restaurant on the mainland - they are better than decent."

"This restaurant is overlooking the bay, and is right on the main street that parallel's the bay. I had lunch out on the side patio, which allows for people watching and scenic views. The food was really good. I would definitely go back, especially since it's the only restaurant on the island that allows me to earn opentable points :)"
