This is a great restaurant for date night. The restaurant was quirky and upscale at the same time. It was like eating in a fishing shack, but fancy. There's also a gorgeous view indoors and from the balcony. My boyfriend and I have sat in both places and really enjoyed the view. Some food items are definitely better than others, but they have some really good dishes. Their zero-proof cocktail is absolutely excellent. Also, the staff was very accommodating and friendly.
8 bucks for seasoned bread not worth it...bread was not good tasting or crispy artisan bread..cocktails watered down..my tequila driver had canned OJ I guess...
Swordfish was well prepared and fresh...Caesar salad was not great. But the fork and plate were cold..lettuce fresh and croutons crispy. . . Lacked flavor.. . Very good server and good manager
I am in love with this place! You are greeted with valley to set the tone and the food and service was everything you would expect for a fancy, very classy date. We ate out on their patio above the dock overlooking the water, yachts, and beautiful pelicans. The environment is rustic and just as much elegant with nice romantic lighting and a beautiful bar that makes the best drinks! We will definitely come back here again!
