We were very lucky to have met “The Chef” in the elevator on our way to dinner. After speaking with him, it made my husband want to try the Ostrich and I had the Wagyu. They were incredible and melted in your mouth. We also had the shrimp cocktail and scallop ceviche. we have never seen such beautiful presentation. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. The views are second to none. The cost is on high end and I had to do a little convincing to my husband. We are both glad we treated ourselves.

No better seafood on the west coast. Pricey, but worth every penny. The service was a cut above from the front desk to departure. We had the extraordinary experience by being served by a truly exceptional server named Hannah. It was a perfect 55th anniversary celebration.
