   Typically the food is great though a bit pricey, depending on what you order. This time I tried the fish tacos, with a choice of cod or ahi tuna. I chose the tuna and was very disappointed. I was expecting a "poke" like tuna taco. Fish was, to me, overcooked; you couldn't taste that the fish was ahi tuna. I ate as much as I could then left the rest. I didn't complain because maybe that's what the chef thought was normal. Next time, I'll stick with either the seafood "martini" - delightful seafood with a cream sauce, served in a martini glass with buttery toast or the shrimp and cake. Service was stellar.

   We were a group of 4 adults and a 5 year old celebrating Grampa's birthday. We spent five hundred dollars. The food was delicious. No complaints, but the prices were very high. We were one of only a few tables with diners on December 27th. We arrived at 6:00 and left at 8:30..... without desert. The staff spent the night chatting at the bar. We got our own salt and paper from the stand. My son in law went to the bar to get a desert menu and our waitress told him she would be with him in a minute. The chef came out and handed him the desert menu. The menu indicated that one should allow 15 minutes for desert to be prepared. We left with a very unhappy five year old who expected desert. A lot of money to spend with no one coming to check on our water or drink orders or to update us on why we were waiting 20 minutes before courses, with dirty plates sitting in front of us. We will not be back.

   Hands down the best sea scallops we have ever eaten anywhere. Ditto for the cod. Our server was so nice and the atmosphere was lovely -- quiet with a nice view of the marina and bay (although at night it is harder to see the view). The apple martini was a tad sweet but otherwise delicious. We shared the mussels as an appetizer and it was plenty for three, and very delicious. Our sweet teeth were amply satisfied with the creme brûlée and the bread pudding. The meal was pricey -- over $300.00 for three people including a 20% tip. But everything costs a lot more now. It was delicious and pleasant and everyone had a lovely time.

   The menu was amazing! We ordered several items, more than we needed, just to try several items, and they did not disappoint. Loved the ambiance, and you can’t beat the waterfront view. Service was as good as the food. Overall great experience.

    The waitress was very good however the food was not. Very over priced for what you get. Most of the food was very bland (not much flavor) I had the Ling Cod and it was very fishy and my wife had the duck and she could not eat it. The bill was $500.00 for 4 people with a couple of drinks. I don't mind paying that for a good meal but this food was not worth the price.
