    Location is beautiful but it’s too busy and food takes too long. Probably better to go during the week when it’s more quiet but weekends/ holidays are too busy for it to be enjoyable

    Our waiter wasn’t very friendly and the service was just fair. I’ve been to the restaurant before with excellent service and my daughter chose this restaurant for her graduation luncheon with 8 of us. Right from the start the waiter wasn’t super friendly. Not sure if he was super busy but it was a damper. A good server should be friendlier despite how how busy he is.

    Enjoyed the view and the fish tacos. But the fries came out somewhat cold after a wait and a drink had a grub on a mint leaf. Just a mixed bag. Our dining companion loved it too.

    Le service n’est pas au niveau attendu (plus de 10 minutes d’attente pour commander des verres de vin). Les plats sont plutôt fades.
