    Highly overrated -- crowded, loud, and very mediocre food. The view of the highway was awesome.

    Nice place to eat, really good food. We included on our reservation we were there to celebrate a birthday/honeymoon, but that never came up while at the restaurant. Unsure why we were asked that if it wasn’t going to make a difference. A free dessert would have been cool, but obviously not expected. Other than that, good experience.

    Yum. View is great. Tables packed in there. Server Jeremiah was great. Fish sandwich and ceviche were too good.

    Website talked about wonderful food…. Not so much. The two omelets had little to no flavor or taste. The gravy for biscuits was blah…. Not spiced but frankly no flavor. Service was slow and ineffective…. Needed to ask for condiments, salt pepper, etc and then get up and get ourselves. It’s a nice spot to buy a beer, side or ice cream but there are plenty of nicer brunch spots.

    We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. It was quite windy which meant it was chilly and we had to ensure the napkins were under things. Yet the view and being by the water was very well worth it.
