Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming from the valet to the front desk. Our Servers were attentive friendly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Excellent Service Thank you Jonah & Teddy amazing. 10stars Food was incredible everything we had was hot fresh and cooked to perfection. The starter tricolor cauliflower was on another level!!!! All around Excellent.
We decided to visit after seeing this on a Wendy Williams Documentary. We thought the view was amazing, so we made reservations since we were coming to California. Everything was ideal. We got the lovely Shaunte! From beginning to end, she made us feel welcomed. Her bubbly personality made this a wonderful encounter. The food, the view, and the entire staff made us want to return.
Amazing first experience . Our server was JuanCarlos! He was very nice and accommodating. He made our experience a pleasant one . He was timely and attentive. All of the food was amazing . Personally, the salmon was a bit lightly seasoned , however , it was prepared well . The oysters were my favorite. There’s A sauce that comes to with it that’s immaculate. One critique I will give is on consistency. At the start of the meal we ordered Brussels. Toward the middle of the meal we ordered more . The was a difference in the amount of sauce & crispness when comparing first order to second order . We all enjoyed the French fries .
My friends and I arrived to celebrate our birthdays. We were impressed by the exceptional service we received for both food and drinks. The overall quality of the food was quite satisfying. Although my friend's ribeye was a letdown with its tough texture, the meat sampler we ordered was a highlight thanks to the amazing view, great company, and impeccable service(john). I must admit that the view, company, and service were the true stars of the evening. Of course, the food was delicious as well, definitely worth a return visit.
Food and drinks were delicious. We had the steak progressive, Caesar salad, and lobster truffle mashed potatoes. Steak was cooked perfectly. Wish the potatoes had a little more truffle but otherwise excellent. Service was very good and I didn't feel rushed. The patio was beautiful and the music wasn't too loud. The tables are a little packed in but no one was tripping over us. Plan for an 11 valet. This was an excellent date night and I would definitely come back.
My friend & I came here for lunch and had the best time! She said it was her second time, this was my first. We loved how no one was here and even though it was overcast, the view was still beautiful! Our server was great and so was our food! We started with the calamari and got the squid in pasta and steak, so good! Their cocktails are so cute, must try!!!
The Honeydew You Believe It cocktail reminded me of an old fashioned! It was super smooth and not too sweet, which I loved. The french toast is delicious and huge, definitely a good one to share. For appetizers, don’t skip the calamari and popcorn chicken. Both are crispy, well seasoned, and perfect for snacking. It’s a perfect place to celebrate wedding, bday or bridal shower!
