   Great food, great service. We really appreciated Jose's passion about the menu, and his recommendations were right on! We really enjoyed our experience and look forward to returning soon!

   Some of the fish was not cooked all the way in the pasta “Portofino" . I know drinks can be a subjective thing, but I’d pass on the Old Fashioned

   Unfortunately, although we love this restaurant and visit it often, we were seated in "the kids section". There was one table with 6 children under the age of 6 and another with three children under the age of 3. Lots of screaming and crying made an unpleasant experience. We'll make our next reservation for later in the evening when the noise level will hopefully be lower and the kids will be getting ready for bed.

   Booked for last minute lunch. We had the Shrimp cleopatra and the barramundi. Both were surprisingly good. Fish was flaky and perfectly cooked. Everything felt fresh and well seasoned. Restaurant has a local family run vibe to it, service was friendly. Overall recommend for anyone coming back from a walk along the coastal front in pacific grove

   My three sisters and I had a great time. Our server was a delight and shared that we are of families of 11 children . My visits over the last 30 plus years have been grand. Thank you

   Crab cakes were mushy and mostly filler, not great the coconut shrimp needed more coconut. The pesto pasta was over creamy and not a lot of flavor. The cocktail ordered was $17 and the same one was $16 If ordered after dinner ? Too bad. Used to be a great place

    No complaints about the food, which was very good. The service was outstanding!This is a small restaurant, so tables are close together. Out of the way location and streets were very dark and some narrow as well. Recommend taking a ride share service.
