    Wonderful service especially the young girl taking our orders. Really delightful. Everyone accommodating my disability and table was in excellent location. All in all an extremely delightful lunch. Only down side we had to wait half an hour for our car!

    So many flies that it detracted from the dining experience and cleanliness. They should have fly traps or other options to reduce the flies besides the little fans on the table that you have to ask for. Also the seafood was bland and didn’t seem fresh.

    Beautiful spot on the water with great food and great service. We loved the food and cocktails and loved watching the otters play in the bay while we dined. Our waiter Aurelio was perfect and gave us good recommendations for after dinner as well.
