What a nice place to have lunch. Big comfortable square booths, and I mean BIG! You could fit about 8 people in them. Cushions on 3 sides and chairs on the 4th. Ocean views. Great food, great service. Great bread. A little pricey but you know that going in. more

Love the decor and the view is absolutely spectacular (on a nice, clear day). I've been here for breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks. Food is great but very pricey. If you're not on a tight budget, this is the perfect place to bring guests from out of town or for late afternoon drinks to watch the sunset. more

The view at sunset was beautiful, staff was polite but the food was not that good. Sourdough bread was stale, pan-seared scallops were not seared and were overcooked. Salmon was decent. Corn was very average. Could have been canned. Way overpriced for the quality of food. more

The views from the Penthouse are amazing - a great place to watch the sun set. The food doesn't live up to expectations and is very pricey. Surprisingly there is no vegetarian option as an entree/main course - they just cook the pasta dish without the meat which isn't particularly imaginative! more

Was worried after reading reviews of it being too loud. Instead, I think it is hip, cool and funky. Our server was very good and sweet to chat with. We requested a cabana table and were given one. They sent our party of 6 a large dessert to share since we were celebrating a special occasion. The food was great.... more
