Despite being touristy, everything about this place soars. From quality of food, to service, to ambience. Whether you're inside (preference to the high top booths) or on the patio for people and car watching, it's a great place to be. The food is prepared fresh...Read More

Fantastic and delicious meal. All bites were excellent. Calamari was crunchy and meaty. Hummus had a deep flavor. The chips had pepper that made them have a sharper flavor. Pokebowl was filling, given a good amount of fish, and served with a dipping sauce. Avocado...Read More

Thanksgiving dinner here! Bisques were excellent. Ordered squash, mushroom and corn chowder. Short rib was excellent. Turkey and ham plate felt like home. Steak was OK - wasn’t moist but maybe it was the temp request for that cut that caused it. Desserts were all amazing! Atmosphere was OK and it...Read More

My husband swears by the chicken piccata. EVERY TIME. But MY personal favorite is the Ahi Tuna Tower. I also LOVE the thin crispiness of the pizza. The buttery cake was beyond, but I was not patient enough to take its picture. You won't be...Read More
