    Birthday lunch with friends on Thursday lunch time! Very friendly welcoming staff and went above and beyond to let us pick easiest accessible table for elders! Sat in large booth closest to patio, was too windy today to enjoy outside but nice location just inside door! We had a Turkey club and fries ,eggs Benedict and a Filet mignonette burrito, all were very good and fresh! We also shared some local wine and the waitress brought me a larger complimentary dessert of Ice cream with strawberry sauce on a soft vanilla cake and fresh berries on the plate, Everything was super delicious and fun and a very lovely celebration 🎉 Thanks Marisol, your the best w a Million Dollar view to boot 😎

    Just a perfect meal. Went early enough so that it wasn’t too crowded, views were great, staff was attentive, service was personalized and friendly. Appetizers, main course and dessert were all wonderful. In our current world where you are ridiculously asked to tip at the airport kiosk, I was very happy to leave a generous tip here. We will definitely be going back.
