    We had the sea bass and halibut entrees and they were delicious. The service was great and we enjoyed a nice view of the ocean while eating. Would definitely dine here again.

    It was Easter Sunday, and it was good energy but yet still subdued The food was awesome, the bottomless mimosas were generous and never left empty, and our server was fantastic It’s a great spot for a date night, taking friends to a great affordable restaurant right on the beach, or a family friendly brunch We all struggled to pick something off the menu as we wanted multiple items My friend leaned in and said, well that just means I need to come back! 10/10 would recommend for an upscale and affordable meal at the beach!
