Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Deborah Scott

From the OpenTable editors: Sweeping water views and creative seafood, like everything-crusted ahi and a lobster and fontina BLT, set this bayside charmer apart. Not to mention a shaded patio, complete with heaters and a fireplace, which might be the prettiest outdoor dining space on Harbor Island.

    Overall, excited to go for New Years, the atmosphere was great but misrepresent some of the food selection. The filet Mignon was not cooked properly as requested, overcooked (requested med-rare - came well done and more like a stipe steak then filet mignon ). Added lobster tail and the scallops with the entrees which saved the dish but was $65 and the scallops $35. Desserts needed to be desired. Cheesecake was not cheesecake and the lemon meringue was too much of a tart. Listen for the atmosphere and the price it was nice.

    I always love coming here for work related meals, catching up with friends and even holiday “experience” dinners for the holidays. Sangria is my favorite in town and you cannot beat the views and fresh air. Parking is a breeze and after meal walk is always nice when time allows as the views are for miles— literally. Lastly—The staff also seem genuinely happy about their job, professional and truly make the guest experience wonderful. This means everything!

    Amazing location, outstanding service. Food is good but not extraordinary. Huge serving size, one order can easily feed 2-3 people. Recommend splitting portions. We would return

    Phenomenal ambience with a view of the city at night. Wait staff were friendly, accommodating, and prompt. Salads, poke bowl, and lobster bisque were delicious.
