    Amazing views! If you get a table by the windows, it's cozy yet elegant. The cocktails were amazing, and the food is outstanding. Very reasonable market prices given the location and food quality.

    The food was phenomenal!! The view was breathtaking. I had the raspberry pancakes (not my normal), my husband had the Dungeness crab eggs Benedict and we each had a vanilla latte (one iced and one hot). The food was delicious. The coffee was also delicious and the view made it even better. Highly recommend.
