“ It was our first time for dinner yesterday and we had an amazing time! A beautiful location that boasts sunset views of the bay and extremely fresh seafood. ”
“ We had a very nice dinner. It was an evening and being able to look out over the ocean was beautiful. The setting was very enjoyable. We ordered the halibut with risotto and it was delicious. Cooked perfectly. The white staff were very helpful and were enjoyable to talk to. When we arrived, we did not have a reservation, but the hostess was very kind and gave us some times that we could come backthe same evening and so she booked us a table. The waiter was very attentive and very helpful. Overall, a very enjoyable evening. The only thing I would say is, don’t forget to bring your own wine. That would’ve just made the evening over the top. ”
