We went on a Friday night. Got a table by the window -- beautiful view. Restaurant was pretty crowded and noisy. Took close to 10 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us at the table to bring water and take our drink order. We ordered two appetizers with our drinks and told the waitress we were still deciding on dinner options -- she was downright pushy trying to get us to order. The appetizers came very quickly -- BEFORE our drinks Kind of annoying! The waitress was still pushing us to order -- finally told her we wanted to enjoy our drinks and appetizers first. The crab cakes were good -- but very small! Also got the fried calamari -- it was okay -- lots of breading and very greasy. Ordered the scampi special -- the shrimp was big and tasty, but the sauce was sweet and served over very overdone pasta! Also ordered the lobster risotto with shrimp and scallops. There were only two VERY SMALL scallops and 3 shrimp on the dish -- again the shrimp was yummy, but for the price, not enough seafood! There was NO pieces of lobster in the lobster risotto -- which honestly tasted like it came from a box -- not creamy like it should be. All and in it was not a pleasant experience. We are local and it's obvious they cater to the tourist -- rush them in and get them out! Unfortunately we will not be back!

One of our favorite places service was excellent view fabulous. The only complaint I have this time is I always get the beef short ribs. This time they were very, very, very salty too salty The wedge salad was very good. The sourdough rolls were very good mashed potatoes and veggies all good. The chocolate lava cake tasted like preservatives is not very good. I don’t think you make them there. We really like the carrot cake very good.
