Very nice place and very good food 👌

We had excellent service that allowed the food to shine. What's better than a signature cocktail and fish tacos next to the Pacific? Be sure to sit on the deck!

Come for the fish. Stay for the amazing service and view. We brought our dogs to this pet-friendly place right on the water - it literally hangs over it. The menu is full of amazing fish options but each of these are about a 7 oz fillet for a minimum of about $30. Wow, that's eye-watering, so we opted for the $22 fish tacos which gave us 4 oz and we tried blackened and breaded. Both were delicious. They brought out a bowl of water for our parched pooches and we were amazed at our waiter from then on. We had nothing but an amazing time and the drinks were great too.

You are paying for the views here. The food itself was not good.

Cons: longer wait times for large parties or preferred seating.
As a critic, it’s rare to give anything over 4 stars. Arrived with a party of 7, they offered to group tables together to accommodate. I said no I’ll wait, the wait for preferred seating is definitely worth it. The view is grand, the drinks are delicious and dangerous. (Alcoholic) I understand this isn’t alinea but it’s probably as close as it gets on this island. I devoured the lemon pepper mahi mahi and potatoes. The spinach was so delicious my child couldn’t stop eating it. (Ik a kid eating vegetables) I have to give kudos to the bison milk man. Haha it was delicious.

Sand dabs are awesome. Service let us down as we finally canceled our dessert due to no show. Waiter seemed preoccupied by other patrons. Still going back next time for the sand dabs.

Came with a group of four. Cucumber Mojito and Buffalo Milk cocktails were really good. Calamari was excellent and the crab artichoke dip was good. Fish and chips was ok at best. Sanddabs and the blackened swordfish was good. Felt that the food was overpriced but ok.

Fish was great, java mud pie was good, great view of ocean in outdoor seating

We only went for drinks and this place like every other place here is a little pricey but the views are worth it

This was pretty nice. Good service. We were able to get a table right on the waterfront. Good Menu.

This is a stereotypical beachside seafood restaurant that relies heavily on its prime location and coastal ambiance, but unfortunately falls short where it matters most: the food. While the ingredients are generally fresh and of good quality, the kitchen consistently underseasons them, resulting in dishes that lack flavor.

1. Rainbow Trout – 3/5
Fresh but utterly bland. No seasoning, no standout flavor.

2. Cajun Rockfish and Shrimp – 3/5
High-quality shrimp and fish, but disappointingly mild for a dish labeled “Cajun.” Expected more spice and depth.

3. Mussels with Chorizo – 3/5
Chorizo was decent, but the mussels weren’t very fresh. Another dish let down by a lack of flavor.

4. Steamed Shellfish – 4.5/5
A standout. Warm, well-prepared, and actually flavorful. One of the few dishes that delivered.

5. Lobster Roll – 3/5
Great texture on the lobster, but again, no seasoning. The bun and filling both tasted flat.

6. Clam Chowder – 2/5
A rare miss for a usually reliable classic. Bland to the point I had to dip fries into it for flavor.

The kitchen shows potential, especially in ingredient selection. But to make the food match the view, the chefs need to focus more on seasoning and coaxing flavor from the seafood.

Service was great, love the views. Food was tasty but not worth it. Like I wouldn't order what I got again. The mocktail was good. They give you free bread at the table which is nice.

Crab cakes were mostly bread. The chimichurri made them better than they were.

The mud pie is not pie, it's ice cream, which I wish I would've known.

I'd come again but for the views and probably not order any meals. Just like...fries...

Not a bad steak place. Prices were reasonable. Service was a bit slow.
