    The view is amazing and so is the staff. They even made sure we were warm as we were sitting outside near the ocean. Food was good. We had Ribeye steak which was tasty and ordered sides of brussel sprouts and potatoes au gratin. large order for sides enough for two or more people. Drinks were good but on the pricey side. Expected as this is the beach and hotel is going through a reno. Beautiful spot! The people that work here are great and music was perfect! Definitely a place we will be visiting again and again.

    What a beautiful space! Very comfortable and spacious. Great specialty cocktails and house wine. We had the Ensenada Tacos and the Chile Rellano. The fish in the tacos was very flaky and nicely seasoned. It had a jalapeño cole slaw on it which was crunchy and cool but I couldn’t taste any jalapeño. The chile rellano was not batter dipped but instead was sliced open and stuffed with diced shrimp and vegetables. It was delicious. We would recommend both of these dishes. Gaby was our server and took good care of us.
