    To begin, the service was very good and we really enjoyed our spunky kind waiter. The staff assisting was not as “on the ball”. We were there celebrating our son’s graduation. The views were beautiful and we did get a peak of the sunset. The food was very good. I had Chilean Sea Bass which was excellent. One son had salmon which he enjoyed and the other son had steak which was very well prepped and delicious. The mussels appetizer was a large bowl of them in a delicious broth but bread was never delivered which I found odd, not realized as we spent the evening in good conversation. All in all a wonderful experience and definitely recommended.

    The service is good, but the food is not great. The food like flavor a bit overpriced and I would just go somewhere else if you’re looking for a nice dinner.

    We had a nice brunch experience on Mother’s Day. The food took a while to come out but it was delicious and the service was friendly and considerate.

    Not many vegan options. Had the vegan risotto and it was okay, but not great. Too fatty and rich . My friend had the flat bread, pretty big for one person, so I recommend sharing it. She also had the Caesar salad and it wasn’t special. Very overpriced, Especially for the quality. It was too windy to eat outside, my guess is it is often windy out there. Service was great though. Price and quality of the food is why I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant, and I would double down, if you are vegan, this isn’t the place for you.
