    I had a pasta with wagyu beef meat dish. The past was undercooked - not al dente - impossible to eat. The beef was tasty. Both my husband and nephew had a chicken sandwich with fries. Not anything special for $30 bucks. The Price is high and we almost had to oay $68for parking eventhough we had lunch reservations. We lucked out and found one of the last free coastal spots and had to walk to the restaurant. The service was excellent. Wine list was extensive.

    We were underwhelmed with the food. Lack of interesting flavors, quality of meat, and presentation all could have been improved. The staff were not polished either. We expected so much more and were disappointed.

    Food wasn’t great . We waited too long . Sea bass was so dry, and bland . Steak frites , (4 tiny slices) aren’t that good either . Servings are very small too. My son ended up asking for more complimentary bread and ordered another truffle parmesan fries side dish , as he felt the main dish didn’t satisfied or filled him . We could have just had fish and chips somewhere .
