View and service were great.
Food that we had was not good. The food was so unmemorable I forgot what we had.
Parking: Parking is adequate for subcompact but not for a pickup.

Everything was exceptional except for the company.
As for the restaurant itself it was a 10/10 and I would no questions asked come back to dine again. I love the setting and honestly consider it's small size one of its most charming aspects. The views are absolutely breathtaking, definitely recommend going near time for sunset as we did.
This is not the restaurants fault and I certainly may have just gotten extremely unlucky, but there was a strong air of judgement and privilege in and around the restaurant among the patrons. I'll try to paint a picture for you.
I could pretty easily hear other conversations happening in the restaurant (in spite of my best efforts to tune them out).
I heard people go on about their yacht issues, palaton classes, and then there was the alcoholic who weirdly only told stories about buddies of his doing things while being drunk.
If you want to know how I knew he was an alcoholic without being judgemental myself, it was because he drank nearly an entire bottle of wine then drove away with his wife in the passenger seat.
My wife and I rode motorcycles there since it is a scenic byway after all. Well, technically a scooter but she rides a Vespa but it's 300cc so its easier to just say motorcycle. Point is we aren't the stereotypical Harley riders that you might be imagining, and there's no chance anyone knew we rode there on motorcycles based on how we dressed inside so that wasn't it. When we were getting suited up to leave the guests in the parking lot we're weirdly rude and dismissive of us. I have run out of energy to give a detailed account so you'll have to trust me on this one.
Anyway, I'm curious if it's always like that. If so I will be less enthused about a return visit. For now, giving the benefit of the doubt.
Parking: The road is very narrow and it's always pretty crowded. As usual motorcycles never have a problem finding parking, but we did have to be very careful about how we parked to prevent the bikes from tipping as the ground is not level or even in any way.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessibility may be a little challenging as everything is tight quarters along with some natural steps. I do think it's possible for the dedicated individual though.

Halibut dry and overcooked. Lobster bisque was not good, everything overpriced, poor selection for dairy free options

I've been coming here for 20 years and can honestly say the place has gone down hill. Unimaginative dishes, subpar ingredients, tiny portions, a skeleton crew of staff and outrageous prices.
