    I was disappointed that the chef wasn't able to prepare a macadamia crusted fish that was gluten-free. This is easy to do if dishes are prepared to order, as nicer restaurants normally do.

    Always my favorite restaurant for class, ambiance, view and good food. My go-to meal is almost always the Swordfish. They've changed the presentation keeping the fish perfectly seasoned and cooked and it now comes with sides more to my liking. Never was a fan of the scoop of Guac on the top.

    Most restaurants don’t put a lot into whatever vegan dish they offer. Scott’s vegetable and tofu stir fry in a delicious sauce with white rice was fantastic!!!

    We had a table indoors, away from the bar. We enjoyed good food and service. Originally we had planned to sit in the bar area since it was happy hour. However, the noise level would have made us uncomfortable. We appreciated our meal in the quieter dining area. Food was good and very plentiful. We picked the restaurant because it was an easy drive from the Music Circus theater. We'll return after our next theater visit.
