    Really a great experience. This was our first visit since recently moving to the area. Food was excellent and the service was great from being seated to the end. Our server, Kate E was absolutely wonderful. She was caring, attentive, and had a fabulous customer-centric focus. Nice views on top of great food and service. 10 out of 10 for us.

    Great view on the water and atmosphere with the lights on Christmas Eve. We sat under the trees by the bay and the portable heaters kept us warm on a cool night. The Spinach and Artichoke Empanadas were a great appetizer and the entrees were excellent too.

    From the moment you walk in every one of the staff members were courteous and professional. We had a reservation for four and trying to get three of them on time is like attempting to herd cats. The mood was elevated by the time I got them to valet parking. From that moment on the thoughtful and courteous staff took all the stress from my family within five minutes. By the time our server Ozzie took center stage at our table this evening became an event for my family to cherish forever. Thank you!
