    We had reservations to celebrate our 35th anniversary. They sat us as soon as we arrived. It was a perfect location. We could see the ocean and eventually the sunset. Our appetizer was served in a timely manner. Our dinner also was served not too long after. We enjoyed the calamari first and shared the pistachio pesto halibut with mushroom risotto. My husband and I both loved the meal, service, and ambiance. We would return because it was such a great experience. Our waiter AJ was exceptional to make it a perfect memory.

    We were seated outside and the heater was nice, but it went out and was never relit. Our server was horrible. We waited 15 minutes just for water and didn’t bring bread plates. After another 15 minutes we flagged him down to order. He brought salad, but not a side plate to share as we requested when ordered. No refill in iced tea came, never check on our meal, asked for lemon for the fish, another 15 minutes and still no lemon(do you let the sea basss get cold or just eat without lemon?). Manager said she would box food. Waited another 20 minutes for food and a dessert. Finally had to go inside and request. They had no idea where my stuff was. The manager said waiter was taking it out. They had no idea where it was. Server was coming out of restroom with phone in hand. The manager was apologetic, but little was done. We left to go to the Valet (great service) and manager came out with the bag of stuff as we were pulling away. There are so many wonderful places to eat in the area, so we won’t be back. Food was good, but not worth the poor service.
