We were able to get a reservation 10 minutes before 11:45am on a Sunday, which was surprising. Serving took about 30 minutes for the appetizer, and 1 hour for the main dishes, which was expected due to brunch rush. The food itself, while expensive and certainly not...Read More

This restaurant has a beautiful view, we enjoyed the oysters and champagne so much we didn’t get pictures. Pasta could have been better if the shrimp weren’t deep fried but that just my preference. I suggest making a reservation as there was a long wait for...Read More

The service was impeccable, Brandy our waitress was phenomenal. The food was INCREDIBLE and so were the drinks. The Lobster Bisque was insanely good. The view of the entire Bay is to die for, and the chef's kiss on top. 5⭐️ all the way!

Tried their seafood pasta, not too much to say. It was pretty bland and not super tasty, shrimps were undercooked. Other than that, definitely recommend the cioppino, that one was awesome. The atmosphere was high class, super nice crowd. Amazing service and great wine selection....Read More
