Love the food and views. I don't like that we are enjoying our night spending a lot of money and get told we Have to leave is been 90 minutes. Very rude.
Laid back restaurant near the water. Food was great, not your typical restaurant food, a different spin on some items. First time there but will definitely return.
You can't beat the view! Parking is valet. Some of the dishes are excellent & some, just better than ok. We've been here before & will be back again. The service was excellent.
