Went to lunch with my family today. Had a reservation at 2 pm for party of 8. Didn't get seated until after 2:30 pm. The manager didn't both to apologize. Service was atrocious. Our last time was similarly bad. Have been going here for almost 20 years and it's been on the decline since Covid. Will not be returning. Ever.

Food was good, showed up for a 730 reservation, ended up being seated at 755 only because we asked them for an update on our seating. Server came to our table a total of 4 times, once for a first drink order, once for food orders, and 2 times for the check. Very minimal and uninvolved, relatively unprofessional. really wasn’t great, wasnt bad. Worth the money? No.

The food, service and atmosphere was wonderful once we sat down. However, we had a reservation for 6:15 and we did not get seated until 6:55. The hostess kept assuring us that we were “next” and that we would be seated in “just a second” and continued seating other parties in front of us. Because of this we missed another reservation we had for after dinner.

The food was awesome! The service was lacking. We had to ask for water refills and server only checked on us once when the food was delivered. The music was very loud resulting in us shouting to each other.

Our table was prepared before we arrived and it took us no time to be seated at a harbor view window table. Our server Ryan was very attentive and was careful to note the needs of the Gluten Free diner in our party. Ryan was familiar with the menu and recommended customer favorites including the Sol Guacamole appetizer which we found delicious and refreshing! We tried the chile verde (slow cooked pork served on a skillet with two sides and topped with a generous serving of melted cheese), the shrimp burrito, and the chicken fajitas. All came in generous portions and arrived at our table quickly and hot.
