    2025.04.12 - Me and my date sat out back on the deck and it was very quiet this time of year in mid April. Not a lot of tourists just yet. Beautiful sunset, brought a small blanket for the missus to stay warm from the beach wind. Wonderful lighting and propane deck heaters were available. Had steaks. She had the filet mignon and I had the ribeye. Got the broccolini and mushroom adders to go with it. All were wonderful. Whole dinner for two with a bottle of wine was about $250. Definitely a special occasion restaurant.
