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.

    I had the warm spinach salad with grilled shrimp. There were 5 grilled shrimp which were tasty but the salad had wayyyy too much spinach and arugula and little of anything else. I won't order a $28 salad where there is sooo much greens. I ate the "good" stuff and there was till a mountain of greens left. My husband had the Louie salad. Same thing - way too much greens. The service was very nice and attentive and of course, the view was very nice.

    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.

    Booked their NYE prefix dinner for an early dinner for 2. The prefix menu options were great - elevated options at a great value for the price point. The portions, presentation and service were all great! we’ve been dining at c-level for year and they never disappoint.
