Great food, good portions, the server was great. We sat outside which was beautiful. The music was very loud which makes it hard to talk.

Food was really good. We sat outside and the ambiance was nice but can get a little loud. Great view of the ocean (which is across the street). Sits on a street so lots of car traffic but not too bad. The parking is a little congested. we parked in the hotel valet area and they discounted it since we were going to the restaurant only. Server originally started out good but after our food came she definitely disappeared. Seemed a little annoyed when my dinner mate asked for some type of sauce for her raise as it seemed really bland and had no real flavor to her. Would have ranked higher had the service been better.

Waiters did not keep up with needs of table. Had to ask repeatedly for refills of salsa and drinks. One small cup of salsa for a table of 4 was not near enough. Each person should get their own small cup. No one wants to risk double dippers. They sat it and forget it. The food was good. It a good atmosphere inside and outside.
