Marisol, the ambience was nice. The food was really good. And the clam chowder soup was amazing. The service was really good, make sure to ask about the specials. The Bernaise sauce with crab over the steak was great and the pistachio pesto crusted halibut was amazing. You couldn’t get a better location. they even had blankets and heaters to sit outside. That little extra touch just made it.

Best eggs Benedict, amazing service, opened umbrella and turned on heater with zero attitude, vanilla latte w/homemade cookie was to die for and their chicken lettuce wraps were delicious but spicy so be prepared.

Beautiful ocean view at sunset, tasty seabass, complimentary dessert for our anniversary; could have been a romantic evening...was marred by a screaming toddler in a large group near us which continued the entire evening. Though it's not the restaurant's fault, possibly they could have asked the parent to walk around with the child for a bit so diners could hear each other talk. Our server was terrific!

From start to finish, everything about our experience was fantastic. The service was outstanding—our server was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed without us even asking. I ordered the filet mignon, and I have to say, it was *exceptional*—hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. The meat was top quality, cooked to perfection, and bursting with flavor. It’s clear that this place takes pride in what they serve. I can’t wait to come back again and again. Highly recommended!

This was our first visit and we loved every minute. The crab cake and lamb were delicious. Our server Ian did not rush our evening and our meals were brought out in a timely manner. We will ask for Ian on our next visit.
