    Great view on the water and atmosphere with the lights on Christmas Eve. We sat under the trees by the bay and the portable heaters kept us warm on a cool night. The Spinach and Artichoke Empanadas were a great appetizer and the entrees were excellent too.

    From the moment you walk in every one of the staff members were courteous and professional. We had a reservation for four and trying to get three of them on time is like attempting to herd cats. The mood was elevated by the time I got them to valet parking. From that moment on the thoughtful and courteous staff took all the stress from my family within five minutes. By the time our server Ozzie took center stage at our table this evening became an event for my family to cherish forever. Thank you!
