   After dinner on our anniversary we chose to have a night cap drink in the lounge. A crowd came in that was outrageously loud. We asked if we could sit at the first table inside the restaurant to finish our drink and have a conversation. We were told no. We could not have a normal conversation in the bar so we left our drinks and we left the bar. I have never been so disappointed. A complete lack of helpfulness by the hostess and ended an otherwise nice anniversary dinner on a very rude note. How disappointing and unaccomadating.

   I had heard great things about this place and that the food was better than it used to be. The location and view is out of this world. A full view of the ocean and beach. The food was good - not great. The corned beef was good,but the huge slices of bread were way out of proportion. The fried were hot but a little soggy. The crab cake benedict was good - the crab was flavorful, but one of the poached eggs' yolk was hard boiled, not runny like it should be. It was also served on a lovely bread, but it was impossible to cut it because of it's dense crust. Our waitress was attentive but then dissappeared for almost half an hour after we finished. She took our plates and gave us the check. This was a mutual birthday celebration lunch. She didn't even ask if we wanted anything else like coffee or dessert before bringing the check. A missed opportunity. We'd give it a B- overall.

   The scallops were amazing. So was their fresh bread. The halibut needed a little more seasoning but the butter beans that came with it was delicious. Great service.

   Over all experience was. 10/10 the food was amazing, the service was excellent! The only thing I would say that was a real downer and highly unprofessional, was the service at the host stand, I came here for my birthday brunch with three others, when I was approaching, I was not greeted until I said something, I told them I was here for my birthday brunch reservation at 11:15, the girl was on the phone with another customer ( no big deal) now the guy there he just said ok, proceeded to help the other host with what she was doing, never said anything back, we stood there for 4 min with nothing being said, finally he took us to our seat.

   They made us feel so special and celebrated for our anniversary! The service was outstanding and the food was amazing too. Highly recommend the Ahi Tuna appetizer! We will be dreaming about how good that was for weeks.

   Location is fantastic. Food was pretty good. Except the chowder. It was like cement. Never seen it that thick before. Everything else was pretty good. Service was great. Ambience good. Noise level was fine. Overall, good.

    When arriving we were seated with a beautiful view of Santa Cruz. The area under out table should have been swept or cleaned before we sat as it had food on the floor near our foot area. 2 of the 3 women's restroom stalls needed attending. Over all the food was good and we enjoyed our meal and our server.
