Decided to check out this restaurant for lunch since it was located on the Channel Islands Harbor/Marina. Great location and has a lovely outdoor patio with umbrellas. Lots of choices on their brunch menu. Seafood appetizer was yummy. The Cubano sandwich was great and the tiramisu was delicious. Cocktails are reasonable priced and were good too. Our server was great. Lots of available parking. Definitely will return in the future and highly recommend this place.

Food was bland. Calamari had no flavor. Poached eggs for eggs Benedict were way overcooked. It was busy but nobody stopped by to checkin and see if everything was ok. When we went to split the bill we asked for an even division, but the waitress put in by order, we wanted to split the appetizer. It was ok. Venue is beautiful. Service is friendly. Could be much better for the price point.

Service for brunch was initially a bit slow- it took more than 5 minutes to be greeted and receive menus after being seated- but overall the service was top notch. (I think we probably arrived at shift change) Everyone in our party enjoyed their food and the ingredients seemed to be fresh and good quality. My wife and I each had the Wagyu burger, which was terrific and very filling, though the fries were just mid. Prices overall were pretty reasonable. This was my second time here, I'll probably be back.

The food was mediocre but the service was good. Our waitress was attentive and pleasant. I would probably go back but I would order something else besides what I had. The ambience can’t be beat.

Love this place. Location is great and they have live music during brunch on Sundays. Service was good and they got our order right. My only complaint is that the hostess wouldn’t seat us right away because she said she needed to seat people with the oldest reservations first. Some reservations, she said, were made 2 weeks in advance. I made our reservation for the next available time through OpenTable when we got to the restaurant because she said there wasn’t a waiting list to put or name on. I am confused by her reasoning. All in all, it’s a great place to have a nice brunch and listen to music while doing so.

Lovely Mother’s day brunch buffet. Food was uncommonly good for a buffet. Great outdoor patio table. Beautiful location. Fun time. I’d go back again to try regular menu.
