    We didn’t care much for the order at the bar for food and beverage. Each time you wanted something you had to order at the bar then they bring it to you or you can bring it yourself. No wait staff. Ambiance is nice and the view of the bay is fantastic. Love the outdoor deck.

    Our server, Alexis, was outstanding. He promptly responded to requests and ensured we had an enjoyable evening. Since this was the 4th of July, the restaurant/bar was very busy but we still felt catered to by Alexis. We appreciate the Chef offering a vegetarian option and all the food & wine were excellent. The manager, Kelly, worked diligently with her entire team to make the evening a delight.

    This is not a restaurant! Very disorganized! Most people felt lost and they made you feel lost when u get there. The food was terrible I ordered duck confit hash and the duck was so salty that I couldn’t eat another bite of it. The only thing good about this place is the view. Negative

    The view from the outside dining is fabulous. The view overlooking the San Diego Bay is calming and relaxing. However, we would have liked to see turkey sausage as an option on the menu.

    The bar service for ordering food was completely uninformed about menu. Service was slow at best, and servers seemed totally uninterested. We were told the fish of the day was grouper and it turned out to be Seabass. I am sure there is a better alternative for Ocean view dining downtown.

    Our Father's Day experience was almost perfect with the exception that there was no table service but understand under today's circumstances this was beyond the staff's control. However, the bartenders were amazing, super accommodating, and very friendly! We will definately be back and would recommend this place to everyone!

    Better for lunch. Brought friends for dinner. Not appealing to order at bar. Also, full sun, but not all umbrellas worked apparently. There was a big party below, so added to noise level. Food was ok, not amazing. Too many other choices for next time.
