    We went to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. The service was outstanding and there were many great choices. The seabass special was excellent, just be aware if it's a special and not on the menu it good be a bit more than you expect. The environment is beautiful and cozy in booths and we also liked that romantic feeling. We will definitely be going back. The pastas all were super tasty and carpaccio to start is a must.

    This is a nice restaurant with a good view of the beach and ocean. There is a parking garage for the hotel and restaurant. They will validate for 2 hours of parking. It was easy to find, food was good. Pricing was reasonable for the location and service was good. I would definitely come back.

    Service was wonderful, beautiful setting. Food was just OK, we had the bread with hummus, which was a little heavy, the cauliflower bowl had too much lettuce and not enough vegetable.
