Had the macadamia crusted Mahi Mahi and stuffed ono. Both were cooked perfectly and delicious. The garlic bread had plenty of garlic and cheese- very yummy. Took home leftovers so we could enjoy the lucious creme brule. Service was prompt and the view is great. A favorite for special occasions.

First time at Wind & Sea. Great food, friendly service, and awesome harbor views. Only negative was the ongoing construction of the old entrance at end of Golden Lantern. I had to call the restaurant who said to enter via Casitas. Once I did that I followed sign through a circuitous route to parking. In the end, it was worth it! I hope the construction is completed soon.
