    It was busy Sunday afternoon and it took a while to get bar drinks. The waiter noticed it and brought us an ice cream cake on the house at the end. A pleasant surprise.

    Susan was a very attentive server. The food was excellent and tasty. Came quickly. And the portions exceeded our expectations. And you can't beat the view. It's a shame it will be closing down in Sept. 😕

    Made a reservation at 11. We initially made a reservation at the dining area but the lounge was open and the sun was shinning, so we decided to sit there. We were completely ignored and got water only for the first 30 minutes and the sun was a bit much so we decided to move to the dinning area. After we moved, it was still very slow but at least we got serviced after 10 mins. The view is amazing and the food is decent but I don’t think I will go there again . : )

    The mussels we ordered was undercooked at the beginning and then when they sent another replacement, it’s overcooked. The waitress was not polite and she served our table or even when we were paying her tips. Also, there were flies in the air so it’s very disturbing when we were having our lunch here. They also over charged for their foods and services I think!

    Really enjoyed the Broiled Halibut and side order of brussel sprouts. So sad the establishment will be closing in September.

    Have been here several times and always had an excellent meal with superb service from the staff. So disappointed to hear that they will be closing by end of summer.

    The encrusted salmon and lava cake on the Father’s Day Menu were awful. The salad was tasteless. Usually the food is excellent here, so not sure what happened
