Waitress was rude brought appetizers, salads, and dinner to the table all at the same time. When questioned, her response was, “Well you didn’t specify how you want your meal brought out.” This was Christmas Eve dinner with my Mom. I’m surprised she didn’t drop the check off at the same time. Horrible!

My boyfriend and I went here for our 2 year anniversary, for our first time. Food was good, could've used a bigger portion of the side dishes, we were still hungry! Overall we were very impressed with the ambiance and quality of service. Giving pets to the local kitty after dinner was also a plus! We will more than likely make this our annual dinner spot!

This is a great place. Very homey, comfortable, and the view is gorgeous. The food is great, delicious. Selection is huge. Theres not too many places like this anymore. Either their too expensive, tiny prices with a huge price tag. This place is perfect! Best part...they check for vaccination before entering. That makes you feel comfortable that everyone around you cares about their health too just like you do.

We really enjoyed this dining. The food was fantastic. I chose a sea bass entree since it's more of a seafood restaurant. But my friend ordered the steak and she said it was very good. The sangria was super awesome. Loved it. I had two. A must try place.

The food is excellent but six of us were crammed into a very small table so it made it very uncomfortable to eat with all the plates and glasses on the table. I had asked for one of those private Cabanas but was put in a cabana with another group of six people not even six feet from us so it got quite noisy in there. Make sure if you ask for the private Cabana did they give you the one down below and not the one where you are sharing with another group. But the view and the food is amazing!

Food was horrible. Used to be the best good around. The value was bad. Chechen sandwich no fries nothing. It was platted on a plate that was two feet long. Looked ridiculous. Horrible experience. Will never go back again. We ordered creamed spinach. We asked waitress. Is this cream as it tasted like regular spinach. She says oh yea we don’t use much cream. What? Really. You guys need to up your game.
