Our meeting space is as flexible as it is elegant, with accommodations for classroom and theatre-style seating. And in case an oceanview conference room isn't quite close enough to the beach, a 6,750-square-foot poolside terrace serves as the ideal location for afternoon meetings.

The food was not as good as we were expecting. My wife got the Kobe steak and it had a lot of fat in it. My Sea Bass was not very flavorful. They said it was a 5 course meal but in reality it was only an appetizer and main course with small bites in between. The desert was a buffet. For the price it was not really worth it. Our server barely came and checked on us throughout the dinner. Unfortunately we probably will not be back.

We were very pleased to get a lovely window seat, that was far enough from other tables to allow conversation for our party of 5. I have dietary restrictions and allergies, which the caring staff took care of happily. Food was delicious. Highly recommend the three coarse specialties, as well as the pork chop entree. I wasn’t impressed with the caesar salad, but the lamb lollipop was a tasty appetizer. Everyone enjoyed their food. We’re going to come back!

Went to a restaurant month, but my husband was the only one that got the prefix. I had halibut and it was a little dry, my girlfriend had salmon and she was glad they let her get the halibut sides with her salmon. My husband had Oso Buco, beet salad and dessert. He said it was pretty good. I had a beet salad at another local restaurant recently and it was much better. Our server I think was so busy. He had a big table in one of the rooms behind us and couldn’t pay enough attention. The servers though we’re good at keeping us with water.

Beautiful ocean view with excellent food and service. If you plan to have drinks in the bar before dinner you will have to sit at the bar if the high tops are reserved. Ask the hostess if there is an available table (high tops).
