    The service was very bad. Waited 15 minutes to have drinks and appetizer orders taken. Had to chase waiters down for simple items. Had to chase waiter down to get the check. Not acceptable when you’re spending $200 on a meal.

    Hands down the best ambiance of any restaurant in the area. The unobstructed view of deserted beach and Pacific Ocean PLUS immediate beach access after lunch — my dream come true.

    It’s a shame. This is a beautiful location and this used to be a great restaurant with amazing food and service. Service is horrible, wrong order and my food was cold by the time we got it right. Then they didn’t debone the branzino properly, there were so many bones left over in the fish. And it took forever to get anything. Great views but that’s about it.
