    This was one of the most amazing restraints. Cheyenne was such a pleasure as a server. The food was amazing, the experience and the view as well. Even with the mishap of me falling walking out, the entire staff came to check on me and the manager made sure we were taken care of. I have been other places that didn’t show genuine care, and make sure I was taken care of. This is not one of those places. Beautiful venue, view, food, and the service is amazing. Thank you all.

    We were looking for an ocean view with the sounds of the water and it was even better than we imagined.

    Long wait on service, incl food, and restaurant not that busy. Missing items on order so we waited for other people’s food to arrive, then our food was not hot. Folks kept running out of water.

    Had ribeye and jalapeño mash potatoes, mac nut crust mahi mahi, maui pineapple relish, scallion-garlic rice, lemon beurre blanc, orange cold brew and Mac nut mai tai. 10/10 our server was also fantastic, came around the appropriate amount to check on us and left us alone to our conversation. There were even performers. Perfect date night!

    We had reservations and were called within one minute Of arriving to our table. We received drinks right away and put on our order. Our food came out extremely quickly especially considering we had ordered pizza! They gave us a free slice of their delicious strawberry pie as we were celebrating birthday. Great food and great service.
