Good food. Good service. Good attention to detail. Celebrated a birthday here and they did a good job at making you feel special. Location from the outside feels like a strip mall. Inside is better.

Tasting menu was so good! We switched the swordfish for butterfish and that was the second best part! Lava cake third best part! Best part was the company ❤️ Great place to go for a special occasion! Amazing ocean view too!

Excellent staff and atmosphere. The food was delicious. We got the crispy crap cake, butterfish, swordfish, and pineapple upside down cake. Each dish is uniquely tasty and the butterfish wasabi sauce is very impressive. We will come back!
