my parents are in town visiting, and we brought them here. Not only was everyone lovely, the food was delicious. Everything on the menu seems like it was a conscious choice, and each piece of the meal tasted delicious. We usually don’t order dessert when we go out, but we did this time and didn’t regret it.

I have not been here in a few year’s but San Diego Tiki Ladies met here 2 years ago so we came back. Wow! What a difference. The Paper Boat was very good and we all could not say enough about the food. Definitely worth it to go just for that.

Nice family experience on Christmas Day. Very tasty and wide variety of holiday foods, salad bar, fruit and cereal bar for kids, soups, and extensive dessert bar. We really enjoyed the experience, food, AND not having to cook! You get a complimentary glass of champagne and a gift of small bottle to go!
