We’ve been coming to this location for the past several years to celebrate our wedding anniversary and every single time we are in awe of how magical it is💕 Between the amazing staff who put thought that it’s our wedding anniversary, the romantic atmosphere, and the view, so beautiful. Thank you for always making it special❤️ Also Bob is a wonderful pianist and Sabrina is a fantastic waitress, we always enjoy seeing her.
Amazing food, superb service. An ocean view to die for. We will be back!
