It was my first time dining here for brunch with friends and everything was amazing. The cheese plate was amazing, the spicy Margarita was amazing and the breakfast burrito was amazing. The location has such a beautiful view. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back for another visit.

The service was wonderful and the food was fantastic. The view could’ve been a little bit better. We did ask for one of the side tables and we actually will put way in the back even though there were plenty of tables available so that would be only negative and I don’t know if that’s because we made the reservation to open table or if they were just being difficult But it’s certainly a wonderful location for a special date or a special event. The menu is buried and have a little bit of something for everyone.

I was pleasantly surprised with The Penthouse restaurant. The vibe, view and food were phenomenal! We had reservations for my fiancés birthday brunch and it definitely did not disappoint. The view of the ocean is so breathtaking and there is a view anytime you turn your head. Will return but next time for dinner.

we had spagetti cacio e pepe. Very greasy with large flacks of black pepper. I am of italian decent. we dont make our pasta with that much grease and pepe is fine. Up all night long dealing with the grease. learn how to make pasta correctly if you are going to serve it and tout it as the waiters did.

It was wonderful. The service was great . Our waiter Steven was so pleasant , very friendly . After we asked his name he even asked everyone’s name & he recalled each one after. He was playful in a very good way. We enjoyed what foods we ordered . We feel not hurried because this was my birthday lunch treat from my friends, we were chitchatting & photo taking.a lot .Very recommendable place .

The food was mediocre. Service was wonky. Crème Brûlée was the only quality part of the experience. No NYE vibes, no good music playing, hosts in the front were not welcoming. Not going to come back here sadly..

We had NYE dinner there last minute. The dishes were inventive but poorly executed. The amuse was a beet tartare that had a nice flavor, but was a bit sloppy and inelegant. The Caviar Egg starter was an odd texture— a small amount of caviar with a runny, tepid egg on a bed of watery mushrooms. My entree was sea bass with a fried squash blossom filled with ricotta cheese. It was fine— the fish was a bit bland, the squash blossom was a great texture, but the romesco-like sauce seemed out of place. I finished with the sorbet and fruit which was sorbet and fruit. Not bad and hard to mess up. Lovely service and a nice restaurant, but the food was firmly sub par.

Fabulous view, great food, and very nice staff. Had a wonderful New Years' Eve brunch on a rainy day. Even with clouds and rain, the view was still unique and beautiful. The restaurant is set up to appreciate the view and the staff was so helpful in enhancing that view by bringing chairs that allowed more of us to look outward from our booth. Very spacious and comfortable seating. Our group enjoyed share fruits and salad and everything from steak and a wagyu burger to shakshuka and chilaquiles. All good. But be careful about the spicy margarita, it is very spicy.
