My wife and I ate here for the first time for our anniversary and we were blown away. The hot and cold appetizers were delicious and our entrees were some of the best tasting dishes we have had anywhere. There was a large selection to choose from. The view was amazing and the service was outstanding. We highly recommend anyone visiting to enjoy what this place has to offer

We sat upstairs to celebrate a friend's birthday and had a fabulous ocean view, The room was VerY noisy and it was hard to heartache other. Our server, Jenna, was FABULOUS. So professional, helpful, efficient and just made us feel very welcome and cared for. The food was delicious, and they were very accommodating of our food preferences, i.e. no gluten, cheese, side substitutions. I had the short ribs--very tender but a bit dry. My friend's filet was delicious. The delicious fries are a must starter, and we enjoyed the pear-beet salad--as well as the yummy cocktails.

Food was good however, my seared Ahi had so many ligaments running thru it I couldn’t eat it. More connective tissue than fish. When I informed the waitress she seemed to not have a care, as if it wasn’t hers so why should she care? I wasn’t offered a new one just here response “oh I’m sorry”…and she walked away. $350 for just 3 of us - It would have been great to eat my dish. I live in Cardiff. Service has been hit or miss. I may not refer or return. It’s too bad.

This was our first time at the restaurant. The service from Adam was next level. He did all of the little things that really matter. One example when I ordered an iced tea w/ sweetener, he asked what color? I’ve never been asked this before. He was knowledgeable about the full menu, making great recommendations. We sat outside on a covered patio with the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop. Everything we ordered was great… apps, salads, mains, and dessert (tempura-fried banana split), it’s a must! I can’t recommend this restaurant enough, you will love it.

The dining experience was fine, however, we got notified by email that we didn’t show up for dinner which is not true. We were seated upstairs at 4:30 and left at 6:20. The bill was approximately $175 and $100 was paid by gift card. Reservation was under Joe De Maria. Any questions call me at 760-214-7705 Joe De Maria

We drive all the way from Coronado to eat at this restaurant. It’s probably the best restaurant on the West Coast or if not San Diego County. The food, ambience, presentation and service is all exceptional. Usually we have the Seabass, but this time we tried something different. My wife had the mahi-mahi tacos, which she raved about, and I had the fillet mignon sliders. All of the food was great, and the portions were perfect for us who are seniors. Finally I want to mention the cocktails. I had a vodka martini which was near perfect, and my wife had an old fashion with bullet. Make sure to make a reservation on open table because you can become crowded and you don’t want to wait in line to be called.

Ordered seared sea bass - it was cooked through, not seared. 2 orders of seafood paella - lobster was over cooked. Otherwise meals were tasty. We didn’t send back because they told us the kitchen was closed and by the time we were sat we were so hungry we didn’t care. Staff was unfriendly to put it mildly. Between 3 hostesses, one waiter and 2 food runners, not a smile much less any friendly banter. We were there for our 34th anniversary and said so in reservation (and upon arrival) but not a mention at table service. We appreciated the gluten free menu, which is why we went there, but wouldn’t return due to extremely poor service by all staff encountered. Too bad because the beachside location is prime!

We went for our anniversary and sat outside just before sunset. It was perfect. Great service and the food was delicious. We had the filet mignon which was tender and just right. Our waiter was so friendly and attentive. We couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience.

Of course the view is spectacular, esp at sunset. We sat on the upstairs patio and it was perfect. Our server was very attentive. We both ordered the halibut with scampi and it was ok. Not as flavorful as I would have liked but satisfying. Maybe go with the sea bass next time. Received a complimentary whipped cheesecake for birthday and it was delicious. With a bottle of wine and a tequila for each, our bill was under $300 with tip. A special event kind of place. And may I add, those parking valets were working their butts off! 😊

This is a great seafood restaurant. Don't miss the sushi rolls and calamari appetizers. The salmon and halibut entrees are winners. It's a little noisy inside so go for the patio if it's available.

I really hate leaving these, but I feel that I must. Maybe my wife and I were celebrating our birthdays on an off day for the restaurant, but this place sure didn't turn out to be what it seemed online. So many things were off; the food was really bland from start to desert, the service was friendly-but slow/inattentive, the view of the ocean was obstructed by a retractable plastic screen (until we had to ask for it to be retracted), the valet drivers were crude and foul-mouthed at the front door, and it was excessively hot with the plastic shade drawn (like being in a greenhouse under a magnifying glass). I've had worse experiences, but I won't be celebrating any future special occasions here. I believe this restaurant has so much potential, but I think it's probably time for the management to pay closer attention to their operations.

We had a perfect view of the sunset and then a fabulous meal. As always, the crab guacamole is perfect. We followed that with the Cocunut Mahi Mahi and the local Seabass. All of the fish dishes are outstanding here!
