    Easily one of the best dining experiences & restaurants in San Diego. The food was amazing. Amy and Brian took incredible care of us, including surprising us with a free dessert for our anniversary. Also, the Stonefruit Martini comes with the entire cocktail shaker left at your table, which is essentially a whole other drink.

    This was our first time visitor after a friends recommendation. We were given a seat by the window and enjoyed the amazing sea breeze and sunset! Our server Judah was quick, kind, and had wonderful suggestions for wine pairings. Our food was prepared perfectly and they have the best take on mussels that we have had in a while! Between 4-5pm they have a chefs menu that we absolutely enjoyed. It is a wonderful restaurant in a fabulous location!
