   Host was great, view was amazing but the server was subpar. Took quite some time to get out food as well. By the time I got my dish it was not hot. Like it sat out for a bit and cooled down.

   Great ocean view from most window seats. Excellent kind and caring service by Miriam who was alone on a very busy night. Burger was good, braised chicken tacos were a bit spicy with too much liquid in the sauce. Bread service with cheddar biscuits and pumpkin butter was delicious. Was not tempted by dessert offerings as I had the pear crisp last night which I found a bit too sweet for my taste. Service today made it all worth while.

   Dinner was so good, we came back for breakfast. Smoked salmon tartine was delicious and the smoothies were fresh and filling

   The kitchen definitely knows what they're doing and if you're lucky enough to be served by "Evan", he's great. Courteous, efficient, and professional with an excellent sense of humor. Not so great are the tiny tables. I'm quite done with 5 star cuisine served on an airplane sized table. It is not fine dining when placing the dishes and cutlery requires jigsaw puzzle skills and then eating is only possible in a cramped manner. The restaurant should do better.

   Disappointed with dinner meal and service. The salads are best options as the foraging starter not worth the expense. The kitchen was backed up and we waited as everyone in tables nearby for mains. When food did arrive it was disappointing. The half chicken confit entree was missing salt or any flavoring, the farro was not cooked in broth-meal was tasteless. The spaghetti squash meal was also flavor less. It lacked creativity, ingredients were put together but no concept on flavor profile. The golden raisins tasted good. The gnocchi dish with pork did not look appetizing. The delicate squash was served with hard skin still on. The gnocchi were not pillowy and crisp. The pork did taste good. Overall, the entrees were amazingly bad! I understand they were short staffed but the flavor profiles were not there for any of the entrees. Will not go back.

   This is an excellent place to be along the coast. A beautiful view of the ocean, even in rainy weather. The food is fresh and creative. We enjoyed everything.

    The menu is unusual and the combinations sound a bit bizarre. We had breakfast there today and it was excellent in every regard - especially our lovely server!
