Beautiful views, a special place off the beaten path. They do not allow changes to the menu items. Good selection of beverages as well.Parking: Limited number of spots, but probably plenty for whatever goes on here generally.

This place is an absolute gem! Amazing music, great food, spectacular and one-of-a-kind views of the bay. It's a great date night find.

Very cute little marina. Off the beaten path, the drive out there is super mysterious and I thought we were lost, maybe going to end up in some murder mystery. But it was sunny and full of spring flowers and great music. Definitely worth an adventure.

I wasn't going to waste time on a restaurant that I do not plan on returning to. But 20 minutes after eating their food, I had the worst stomache and that has crossed the line for me.1) this place needs a serious health inspection from the local authorities.2) very poor management; empty tables available but they did not sit their customers in a timely and efficient way and thus everyone had to wait over one hour to get seated. A lot of the items on the menu were not available. The waiter said Sunday is a bad day to come, FYI. Customers had to get their own water.3) The food was really averaged. The apple cubes in the salad were brown. It took an hour for them to put together old salad and lukewarm food. Based on the food quality and taste, they are overpriced for what it is.The restaurant has a nice view and music but everything else ruined it. Ps. There are no proper clean restrooms available.

Seems like a great bar, great live music, decent tap selection. They ran out of just about all fresh seafood when we were there so don’t go for Sunday afternoon. We had a brand new waiter who did very well to cover management issues regarding food

The location itself is amazing. With nice scenery and a cool like walk through the woods to get to it (if you park in the overfill parking lot). But we waited for two glasses of wine for like 45 minutes. Which they were really busy, but it takes literally two seconds to pour a glass of wine. The food was overall pretty good. Appetizers tasted good. But the fish and chips were lacking something for sure. I think they were a little underseasoned?Overall the place was decent, nothing exceptional but a fun little spot to hit up on the weekend.

When we got there, we were directed to go to an overflow parking lot and had to hike to the restaurant. It was a beautiful day so why not. We got there and saw a very long line. We waited for over an hour. Finally got greeted by a hostess when we got closer to her table. No expectations set of how long the food will take to be served nor was there an expectation set when we got there since the hostess never really walked all the way out to the parking lot to talk to people. Finally got seated. Still feeling positive about the food we're about to order. Immediately placed it. 15mins later server came back asking if someone delivered our drink. Uh - our table is empty so it's obvious we didn't get our drinks yet. Server came back after 5mins but with the wrong drinks. Gave it to another table. Came back after 10mins, still no drinks. He keeps forgetting. Another mins he came back next to our table - he was avoiding us this time and finally came back again after 5mins and he didn't bring us drinks. He brought us a ticket just to show us that the ticket was marked as out of stock for the soda water. Still he didn't bring the hot coffee. Geez! Finally he came back with another flavor of the soda water and coffee. This place didn't even have non-sugar sweeteners to cater to diabetics like us! That's a first time for us to hear. Server then starts putting down drinks and he spilled the creamer. Oh gosh! What else could go wrong???? At this time we"ve been sitting waiting for food for about 30mins. Server said it takes about 30mins to serve the food. To cut the very long agonizing story short, we had them just pack our food to go. But I told the server if that didn't even come in 5mins, we're leaving. 5mins came and we just stood up, looked for our server and told him we're no longer waiting so we will just pay for the drinks. He was trying to check us out but even his portable terminal was not responding. By this time I'm 1000 % sure we're NEVER EVER coming back. I feel bad for the server because he will never make his tips this way. I didn't even see a manager around to talk to. It's obvious that people who work at this place DON'T COMMUNICATE with each other. Hostess NEVER set people's expectations about the wait and serving time. Server did not communicate the wait before getting served their food. The bar and kitchen never communicated of what things were out and how backed up the kitchen is. This restaurant serve fried stuff. Nothing gourmet. So I didn't really understand the back up in serving the food.Will I recommend this place? 1000% NO.Will ai ever even think about coming back? 2000% NOI just hope the management / owners take these reviews seriously and address people's comments about the service and food. There's so much competition in the Bay area that it's easy for people to never come back because of something that could've been addressed or made better.I wish I read reviews on Yelp and Google before we even decided to go. We wasted 3hrs of a great Sunday for nothing.
