Excellent service, great food, beautiful views, even had live music! The only thing was they did not verbally disclose that there was auto-gratuity already included in our bill, so we tipped twice. Just a reminder to always check the bill as you’re paying! I should have assumed it was auto-gratuity due to the size of our party (6) and it being in a hotel, but after a couple drinks, I didn’t think to check, and we tipped another 20%. Our servers Jill and Chase were exceptional though, so not too worried about it. They handled our requests for heaters, were prompt and efficient, and provided an excellent experience.

I enjoyed sitting on the patio with a stunning ocean view! I also appreciated the server's recommendation to try the Special and a wonderful vodka cocktail. There was a live band playing on the patio of the next restaurant over so it really gave an energetic vibe to the place. Wonderful food! Wonderful service! Highly recommend!

Good meal. We were expecting more of a seaside restaurant. By and large it was a good meal at a restaurant contained within a hotel.

Dear David, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your meal, even if the setting didn’t fully align with your expectations of a traditional seaside restaurant. While the restaurant is located within the hotel, we aim to offer a dining experience that stands on its own. Your comments are appreciated and help guide our continued efforts to enhance both atmosphere and experience. It was a pleasure having you here, and we hope you return soon. Kind Regards, Charles Food & Beverage Director

Service and professionalism is outstanding. Food is excellent. Was only able to stay for appetizers due to emergency. Waiter Justin is a gem. They didn't charge a corkage fee which was nice. Outside seating is beautiful. A bit bright, but sunglasses will do the trick. I highly recommend this restaurant for the view, food and friendly services.

Very disappointed in the quality of our food. In addition there were no embellishments to the plated food. Just the sandwich and cup of fries on a large plate. Dennys does a better job. Server was attentive and polite. However will not return.
