Review & Rating
One of the best lasagna's I have ever had, drinks and dessert were great too. Service was fast and friendly. Atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant and the views were beautiful.
It’s clear that this place is in business because they rely on tourists, people who are not likely to come back again. The view, of course is fantastic! The food is mediocre, at best. It was just on the edge of if they had only done a little bit more it could’ve been much better. For example the chicken wings, on happy hour, are a great price and nice taste but they were cold. The pasta was OK but the noodles were not cooked enough. The Caprese salad was OK except the tomatoes were completely not ripe at all. Rosa, the bartender, made excellent drinks and was very nice! I would say don’t waste your time or your money – it’s way overpriced! If you go for happy hour drinks ask about the price because they get tricky with “happy hour” prices. Their wine list for bottles is excellent. Very poor choices for wine by the glass
I was greeted by a nice lady but that was the only positive experience I had there. I sat there for 20 minutes and no one had brought me over a menu even. I watched the table near me get a menu, bread, salad, etc. And he was there after me. I flagged someone down for help and was told that someone would be right with me. But after another 20 minutes waiting, I got up and left.
Great place to eat! Good service and quick bite with an amazing view. Thank you for such a good experience.
Service was excellent. Walter was a great server. Appetizer calamari was good, but the calamari on the fisherman platter was undercooked, pale, and doughy. The chicken parmigiana was good, the sauce was a bit sweet though. The cannoli was rather hard, but it had a decent filling.
This place was delicious! My boyfriend and I came here for the first time. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. We did not get a full view of the water, although we did have a nice view of all the city lights. We were told there was a very long wait due to a huge party just being seated (about 40+ people). We waited no longer than 10 minutes to be seated and the food came quickly. We got the margarita pizza and Napoleon pasta to share, both very delicious. I would definitely recommend this place and will return!
Wow! This was a nice break from the crowd. Not only is it above the crowd but it's not hectic like the boardwalk. It's a great place for a date and an amazing view. The service was amazing and the food came out fast, but what made the experience was the food it self 😳 wow it was amazing! If you're looking for a beautiful view with an amazing dinner. This is the spot.
Helped a coworker and I find a place to work after a needy client kept bugging us for changes after a 10 hour day. When we came back hours later they let us sit just before closing the kitchen. Food was quite good and portion sizes were generous for the price. Exactly how a 5 star service should operate.
We had a great time here. I wanted some fresh seafood so I ordered oysters, they were a little gritty but still pretty good. They had a special where you could get an appetizer, an entree and dessert for $35 which was a good price and we ordered that. The service was decent and the restaurant was clean. The best part was their views. From our table you could see the sea lions rolling around in the sun and that made it a really special meal. We were tourists and just wanted to spend our time looking at the ocean, and this place delivered. It would be a great place to bring out of town guests or grab a drink
Perfect views of the sea lions made it a great start. Meals were very tasty. Wine suggestion matched perfectly. Late lunch turned into sunset. Beautiful.
