    We went with a party of 8 to celebrate my son’s confirmation. The service and food were excellent. We love to bring family here from out of town, the beautiful views are a bonus.

    Food and service very good. I was disappointed in the atmosphere because the inside restaurant is so loud. You can't here the person speaking that is seated next to you unless you speak into their ear. As far as other people at your table, it is impossible to have any conversation. For this reason, I would wait in line for an outdoor table. This restaurant has great food and is very busy. I hope that money is invested to add acoustic panels inside.

    Our server Angela was very nice and efficient but it was quite noisy in the restaurant and the food was mediocre at best. Sorry but we won’t be back.

    The food is just unacceptably terrible here. My shrimp scampi tasted like a teriyaki dish? Wow so bad. Calamari was so fishy. Not sure how that’s even possible with the volume they are putting out. This is one of those places that are so busy and it makes zero sense why. Will never come back.

    My fish was definitely over cooked and service was on the slower side. Overall good experience despite those two factors.
