    Great Anniversary celebration for the 49th time. Colin provided memorable service adding to the evening. Couldn’t be improved upon.

    We sat in the restaurant side of the restaurant.there is a bar side that is quite a bit louder. We had two appetizers and salads and soup. I had the swordfish and we also had filet,tuna and lobster. We also had 2 different soufflé’s everything was amazing and the service was the best . It was expensive but these days everything is.

    Great food and service. We went at night so couldn't see the ocean too well. Plan to go back in the daytime some day.

    Server was in training but for this style of restaurant the service was not up to par. We had to wait for some attention and to order longer than typical. No specials were read off. In experienced wait staff. Food was great.

    We sat at the bar to watch the sunset. Anthony the bartender was great! We ended up eating at the bar. The food was excellent. I had the Skuna Bay Salmon. Very nice. The guitarist started playing during dinner. He was excellent! There's valet parking at the door for $10. Finding a place to park on Saturday night is difficult.
