    Great place to have a nice dinner. Food is usually good and so is the service. On occasion my wife and I have experienced average service, and food was not quite as good as the previous times but that can probably be said about most places. After sunset there are nice views of the boats in the water under the lights at the Marina. Not an overly fancy place but nice enough to have a romantic dinner in a booth. Experience is always better when you get a responsive & enthusiastic waitress/waiter.

    One of the best Valentine's Day steak dinner! We started with the marinated octopus and tomato as the appetizer, followed by a main course of an 8 oz. Filet Mignon for each of us cooked to perfection covered with fresh shaved truffles, sides of creamed spinach and truffled mashed potatoes. This restaurant located in a strip mall in Lomita is a gem of a place! Service is very attentive, cozy atmosphere. They do not have a full bar, only wine, beer, and sake. Although it is a bit pricey, they have a much better quality overall than some of the other high end steak houses. They for sure are much better than Flemings which I feel has gone down hill in my many years of eating there. This will become my favorite steak house from now on! It is conveniently located with a great menu!

    My husband and I decidedto go out to lunch instead of dinner for Valentines Day. My California salad and eggplant parmesan were delicious. Since they ran out of pastrami, my husband got the turkey sandwich.
