My husband and I frequent fine dining restaurants, and this is the best restaurant we've ever eaten at. The food was delicious, and the service was spectacular. Jason was amazing and made us feel very special on our wedding anniversary. Thank you so much for making our wedding anniversary dinner so memorable.

Went there for lunch on a Sunday and it was a nice and quiet setting. Beautiful scenery. The seared Ahi sandwich and the fish and prawn salad- both were fresh and amazing! Service was friendly and prompt. Would definitely come back.
