“This place was really good and receives a solid 5 Star review. With that being said you must realize you are in a dinner at a small airport. The menu has more on it than I expected. The place was fairly busy and very steady with customers. The facility was neat, clean and well maintained. The full kitchen is within full view and was clean. The food was pretty good. The restroom was clean. The staff was attentive and pleasant. The food was pretty good and the prices were not inflated like in Half Moon Bay.
A pleasant experience and I would gladly return again and again.“

“Navio is the best hidden gem in plane site, the menu, the service, the wine pairings were absolutely spot on. We did the full tasting menu and wine pairing and were just delighted with the overall experience. Also, we were seated right as the sun was setting on the ocean, the views are truly exceptional on top of the great service. I think Michelin has missed the boat by not providing a star (or 2), this experience is on par with the very best in the world.“

“The cozy indoor version of the terrace, and honestly where we ended up when the fog rolled in. Big windows looking out over the ocean, comfortable chairs, fireplace going, and a nice bar with a good cocktail list. We did a couple of drinks and small plates one night and afternoon tea another day, which was more fun than I expected nice way to kill a foggy afternoon. There was live music in the evening, mellow and not too loud, so you could still hear each other talk. Service was friendly and attentive. It's a bit more polished than the Ocean Terrace, but same great view without needing a blanket. Great spot for a relaxed drink any time of day.“

“Incredible experience; reservation for two, valet parking, attentive staff, and the grounds are beautiful. We had the Seafood Tower, which was good, but the New England Clam Chowder changed our lives. Pro tip: ask for an extra bread roll, the bread is amazing. We also had their zero-proof Manzana Muels, two each, they were so good. Every aspect of the meal felt thoughtful and carefully curated; cheers to the chef. And the bathrooms were first class.“
