It is really sad that a restaurant that serves food as good as this one has such terrible service. The evening started off well, we asked for and were seated at a window table. Our server greeted us promptly, took our drink order, and brought our drinks. We enjoyed our drinks while looking over the menu, Server came back and... more

What a view, what service, what FOOD!!! This is one of the finest restaurants I have ever visited. A little hard to find (near the wharf), but absolutely worth the treasure hunt. more

If you like noise, a stiff wait staff, mediocre menu, steep wine list along with menu prices that would choke an elephant, then this is the place for you.

I knew the moment that we walked in that I was not going to like the place. There was no maitre 'd and the decor looked similar to the Holiday Inn lounge with the cheezy circular fabric chairs and shabby geometric carpet throughout. We had spent the past 5 days eating our way through San Francisco and Monterey. This was... more
