    The menu was overwhelming with so many tasty options. We decided to get an apple kefir, Turkish coffee, chick steak platter, n’oyster platter, and a chocolate mousse (which was heavy on the coconut whipped cream!). Everything was divine.

    The view, service, and food were very good. Our waiter was excellent and apologetic about the slow provision of our appetizer and main orders. Our halibut and steak orders were good.

    We had a party of 23 but the kitchen was slow that day. Food was great. Beers and mixed drinks good. Nachos well done! The complete cheeseburger, chicken tenders and seafood salad were excellent. Kids food came out early-thank goodness.
