    They totally restored the old school charm of this place. The view of the harbor is amazing. The beef Wellington - probably the only place serving it on the menu in the LA/OC metro - tender and delicious. The crudité with the marvelous green goddess dipping is the best version since Daniel Humm’s 2012 rendition at the NoMad NYC opening. The table side preparation of cherry jubilee is a show on its own. Thanks to all the staff - front and back of the house!

    This an excellent restaurant! The food is fresh and of high quality! I had the oyster’s sampler and the trout as the main dish. The plates were well presented and the portions were generous. Staff is cordial and the ambience is just right. It is a bit pricey but it was worth it
