              Been here many times before. The ocean view makes it a go to for many. However I can never remember why I don’t hurry back. Now I remember. The food is good. Tasty. Not 5 star. Definitely not worth paying high prices for. The lunch salad we had, beets and all, leaves you hungry. Why not make it a regular size salad? The Brussel Sprouts were good. However again, portion size was average. I’ve had better. Great service and view. No parking! Lot was allegedly full so I parked at a nearby meter. I’ll go back for Happy Hour. Just not hurrying.

              Specifically made reservations (5 weeks in advance) to see the sunset, but were seated at a table on a side patio, which had no view of the sunset…plus heaters were place in the middle of the area, making it difficult for patrons and wait staff to maneuver the area. Food was was ok. Service was less than I would have expected for such a higher level restaurant.
