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.

We sat outside for brunch. Nice view of the ocean. Espresso machine was not working so that was a bummer. 2 people ordered crab cake Benedict and 1 ordered ham Benedict. All with their potatoes The crab was very fishy tasting and was just ok. The potatoes were heavily seasoned but came with bell pepper. Server was great and brought a birthday cake for my friend. The bar and restaurant inside are very pretty. I’d go back for dinner food. Not brunch.
