    Great food choices and cocktail menu. Sesame ahi salad is always a good summer choice - deli ious and light meal. Pizzas are okay.

    Great venue! Loved their food and they have a nice full bar that we enjoyed as well. Our server Amy was fabulous! We were a large party of 14 and service was fast, I was surprised how quick they had our food out!

    I usually get the fish and chips. This time I ordered them again, but 4 very tiny pieces of fish. Usually the pieces were twice the size I got.

    One of our go to restaurants especially on Truckee Thursdays. Love sitting outside and people watching. Service was good. Drinks were good. Caesar salad was good. Disappointed in the Opakapaka entree. Fish had no flavor. The accompaniments were fine. But with a $48.00 price tag and the star of the dish not tasty, overall have to say dinner was disappointing. Did mention to server about the fish, but basically got the standard reply of "oh I'm sorry".

    The wine had been corked and was not drinkable. Horrible smell, obviously corked. Waitstaff were absolutely miserable in their job. Ran out of water twice. Never asked if something was wrong with the wine and the glass remained full through the meal. Food arrive barely warm. Chicken was bland and needed seasoning. Salt and pepper arrive 10 minutes after asking for salt and pepper. Note we already had to wait an additional 5 minutes after our meal arrived before we received utinsils. Potatoes were “spungy.” Overall, a really bad meal. I was hopeful based on the reviews but it was downright awful!

    Food was expensive for what it was. Felt like cheap ingredients, oily and low quality. It was very loud and we would not go back again.
