Valentine’s Day dinner - the space was nice and the service was outstanding. One of us got the filet and one got the sea bass. The filet was amazing, but the sea bass was horrible. The fish was mushy, almost like it was frozen just hours before. The broccolini had a sour taste to it. Overall an average experience.

Yemekler ve servis harikaydı. İçerde oturmamıza rağmen kapanmayan bir kapı nedeniyle üşüdük ancak bu her zaman olacak bir durum değil . 5 kişi için 880usd hesap biraz pahalı geldi

Everything was wonderful! Delicious food and ambiance. They helped us celebrate our daughter’s birthday with a special dessert. And their espresso martinis are amazing!

We were a large group of 18. They had a private room for us that worked well. The service was excellent, though it might have been better to have the option to order ahead (we're staying at the resort). It took a long time to get 28 meals ready! Everyone loved their dinner: chicken, lamb shank, cod, veg squash dish, flatbread. The shared table bread was awesome. My husband and I are local are local and would choose to go there on our own-- early, for sunset on the patio (great view).

The staff were very friendly and the ambiance was relaxing. The food was over priced for the quality provided. I have eaten at many coastal restaurants across California and this was subpar at best and a tad disappointing. We will not be eating there again.

Came here because we were staying at the resort and it did not disappoint! We had the crabcake which was a very good size for two people to share. My husband had the salmon and I had a mushroom risotto cod that were both very good. We both said our fish could’ve been cooked about a minute less but overall the dishes were tasty. I had a vodka basil cocktail, which was delicious. Would definitely come here again and recommend it. It’s not going to blow you away, but it’s definitely good food with a great atmosphere being on the bay.
