The filet mignon is not a good piece of meat. They cheaped out on the product it was such a letdown. Ordered medium rare came closer to well done. Don't order the steak if you go there.

Okay wow wow wow this place was incredible all around! Our server was just a hoot, so kind and friendly and attentive. It was a busy holiday weekend and they let us make a late reservation and I’m so grateful! From the salad to the soup (French onion to die for) to the ribeye, all 10/10. Highly recommend all around! Make a reservation to guarantee an early dinner and you’ll be good to go! A must stop!

We came for our one year anniversary from out of the area. It was one of the only nice restaurants actually open on a Monday and fortunately it happened to be amazing. I had the duck which was perfectly cooked and he had the lamb. Some restaurants we saw online didn't include sides but we got healthy portions including sides of everything and some delicious fresh bread and butter to start. They sat us by the window so we had a Sunset View and even after an appetizer, soup upgrade, to entrees and a dessert it still came to less than $150 including tip and we were full to the Brim!

Not one of the better meals on our coast visit. The crab cakes and calamari fries were good but then things took a dive. The halibut was ok, and the seafood pasta with curry special was just terrible. Overcooked shrimp, and unpleasant pure heat. We enjoy very spicy food especially such Thai dishes but this was just not good. Crème brûlée off as well. Crust too hard and too thick.
It’s a beautiful place and we enjoyed it but our waitress was making us feel so rushed I had to ask for the drink menu back. For a high end restaurant to have customers being rushed around like it’s a fast food joint is unacceptable. Other than that it was enjoyable. Cheesecake was amazing. My boyfriend and I got two drinks each, an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert for 192.56 not including tip.

The view isn't great, and neither is the inside. Its nice but not as fancy as they think it is. The food presentation was beautiful, and the flavor was good.
What they are charging is not worth the food you get, though. Two little crab cakes for $23 as an appetizer. We thought it would be 4 crab cakes, which would still be over $5 per cake.
Then the filet mignon was $45, which is fine because that is the going rate. The problem is that there is NO WAY this is filet mignon. It was some kind of roast or tri-tip dressed up. The grain was much longer and the amount of connective tissue in the meat gave it away. This is incredibly dishonest. I would not be a patron of this business simply because of their decitfulness.

We love H.B.B. The French Onion soup never disappoints, and the service is always great.
Tonight, we tried the fresh catch special. It was a pan seared Halibut with Pistachio pesto and cheesy risotto. It was perfectly seasoned and really hit the spot!
