We went for a late lunch. Service was great. We asked for a view in the corner and were told, of course. It was the table we sat at the last time we were there. I had the shrimp lunch and my husband had the chicken and waffles.

We paid the extra money to get a seat along the rail at sunset. It was totally worth it. We each got a glass of Prosecco and a ahi amuse. Service was outstanding. Jonathan greeted us and wished us Happy Anniversary. He was very attentive and helpful with menu suggestions. The other staff was excellent as well. We chose the four corse pre-fix menu which was just the right amount of food. Courses were timed perfectly, water glasses kept full, clean silverware after each course. It was a wonderful experience.
