    We had a wonderful experience and I think our waiter Seth was a cherry on top. He was absolutely lovely and we had great service. The food was delicious and the only thing that would’ve been better is when you asked for well done and it actually comes well done and you don’t have to send it back but beside that everything was great.

    View is beautiful and the service was great but the food was not great. The calamari and poke bowl were good but the macadamia crusted mahi mahi was tasteless and the veggie casserole was steamed veggie with cheese on top. The mac and cheese my daughter got from the kids menu were Kraft ones.

    The seafood dishes, sandwiches, and salads have been the best for us. The drink selection is very good, with good choices across the wine, beer, and spirits collection.

    Terrific food options for all pallets. Friendly and attentive from the greeter to the server. $9 for garlic bread appetizer is a bit much, but the price for the entrees is high but well worth it. Our waitress Tracy was attentive and friendly. Offering suggestions and smiles. A terrific date night!

    Food was pretty good. Large restaurant so it took a couple hours in total. We were not in a big hurry so that didn’t matter so much. I am a tough grader so most would give it a higher rating. Our server was nice, attentive and knew what she was doing, just a few to many tables perhaps to be around a little more. We had a party of 6 and it was a Friday night. All that has an effect on the overall experience.
