“We (a party of 4) had dinner last Thursday (3-7-24). We decide to select our dinner choices from the fixed-price menu being offered that evening. EVERYTHING was wonderful. In reading the other reviews, they truly reflect our own dining experience. This is going to sound a little weird, but I have found this to be true. If the restaurant proprietor (as in this case) provides a restroom facility that goes beyond just clean and tidy, I believe the same attention to detail carries over to every aspect of the restaurant, from food preparation to presentation. Truth be told, I used the facility early in the evening. I can’t speak to what it may look like at the end of a busy summer Saturday service, but its condition would reflect more on the customer comportment. Final note, I’m about an hour away, but it is well worth the drive. GREAT RESTAURANT!“

If you have never been there it's a Must. Upscale Italian restaurant. Byo. Love it and Thank you ladies“

“Our server Andrea was absolutely fantastic. Not only was she efficient, she was very pleasant, personable, and kind. Watching her work was like watching a cross between Serena Williams, Lionel Messi, and Tom Brady at the peak of their careers. Amongst the chaos of a weekend dinner shift, she was a sea of calm and a breath of fresh air. If there were a server hall of fame, she would be our nomination. We will be returning for this exceptional experience again and again. Thank you Andrea!“

“First, this is my go to happy spot, been coming twice a year for the past 10 years, celebrated birthdays, Mother's day, and just to escape the LA blues and recharge at beach. This is the first I felt unseen, I had to ask who my server was after 15 minutes while others in the same area got immediate attention. In the end we got a server, who was handling the outside table, the place with busy it was the end of brunch. Because we had the outdoor tables we were not checked in on, not sure why he didn't engage the other host. Apparently the confusion was that we had cocktails, as we had moved from the bar once our table was ready. I often arrive a little early to relax from the drive, grab a drink and then move to the table, and usually servers are territorial. Anyway aside from the valet and the food runners which were abundant, the servers had drama. In the end, I spoke with the manager as they came by to ask how everything was, but that it. I left a 20% tip on a $136.00 lunch for 2, will come again, and hope for better service.“

“My husband and I dined on the porch. Lovely atmosphere as it’s right on Ocean Drive across from the beach. The food was exquisite. Lauren our waitress was upbeat, attentive and fun. Service was top notch all around.“
