    Our first visit to this iconic restaurant was excellent. We loved the Rocket Salad starter and were blown away by our main course, the sautéd mac nut and herb crusted fresh fish (Halibut) - delicious! Our server, Ally, was fabulous. For dessert, she recommended the Hula Pie - holy moly that was amazing! We visited on a weekday night at 6pm in mid-Nov and the place was not crowded at all. We self-parked but were still charged $10, the only disappointment of the evening.
