Very Good Service. Nice View! Menu was a bit too eclectic. I think if you are an avid restaurant explorer you might be able to decipher what sounds good. We lucked out on ordering the sliders.

Food was very good. View of the ocean was wonderful whether dining inside or outside. Delivery of meals was prompt by support staff. Actual server for our table could have been a little more attentive and checked on us more often as we had to flag her down for additional beverage requests.

Went with my grandpa and he’s very picky. He just wanted basic stuff and was confused by the menu so the waiter sensed trouble and gave him a kids menu with some basic eggs and bacon and saved the day. They also have us a $50 gift card just cuz we were there, and another waiter took his time to take a good pic of the family on the beach. The valet parking was kind of a mess they should have had more people, but overall would recommend 10 times over!

We really like this restaurant but this was a poor experience. We went for an early dinner, so the restaurant was not very busy. But the waitress never bothered to ask how the meal was. We ordered two separate dishes. One was okay and one was really not good. Despite only having two bites of the dish, the waitress never even thought of asking at the end of the meal whether everything was okay. We really like this restaurant but expect a higher level of service and attentiveness.

Our waiter was very businesslike, not that friendly, seemed to be impatient with us. I has written open table thay it was my sisters birthday. No acknowledgment of that. Food was not as good as in the past, all for 250.00 not including tip and valet charge and their tip. Won’t be first on my list next time we have out of town visitors. Sorry, used to love place

This was a birthday celebration. The restaurant is practically on the beach so there’s the benefit of crashing waves and surfers. The ambiance is more sophisticated than beach bar. The food was so delicious! I would definitely return.
