   Have been here many times with family and came back after a couple years last night to celebrate my birthday. Service was excellent as always but can’t help feeling the quality of cocktails, food and the value for money has significantly declined and left disappointed for the amount spent. The shrimp en croute was a stand out before and had been waiting for its menu return before coming back but decided to try my luck with the rest of the menu. I would now not come back after this experience otherwise $14 for an spicy tuna egg roll appetizer is really a thin strip of tuna sashimi split in half and literally means 1 egg roll (split in 2 sides). $19 for 2 pieces of pork belly appetizer (2 bites) The shorebird chicken was very salty, normally we like it! Risotto was tasty Sashimi is normally very good

   I thought it was a nice restaurant on the bay front beautiful views. Are server was pleasant but lacked a bit of being polished. It is very loud inside and the patio doors opened the whole time which made it quite cool inside. Food wise the Wagu meatballs were really good. But did feel the other items we received were just okay and potions pretty small. Thanks

   Great place great food they need to work out the kinks. Champagne on the menu was not what they brought to the table (said they ran out but didn’t tell us, till after they opened the bottle)

   First time there. Took a friend for her bday. Can't beat the view of course, the restaurant is super cute and spacious. Went today (Saturday) at noon. It was moderately busy. In a prior screen it asked to rate the noise level, and energetic was the top option - it was more than that. Lots of drinkers so it was ridiculously noisy at a few points. Ordered Garlic Roll and Avocado Fries, friend had a caesar salad - all was really good. Server was nice, but slow. They brought out a sorbet for my friend with a candle, and the lighter didn't work. No big deal, but for that kind of restaurant, bring another lighter, for a special occasion. Ordered a coffee with dessert and didn't get it, no biggie, BUT the server made up for it by comp'ing it in a to go cup. I'll go back in hopes for a quieter experience.

   We got the Shorebird and the risotto was so good. Tomato soup was just tomato soup, so I should have gotten a diff app. Banana foster sundae was sooo good! Ambiance was great and there were heaters on the patio area.

   Took a long time for food to come out. Our waitress was at least cognizant and apologetic for the wait. Food was ok but nothing special.
