Not only did she switch us to a harbor view window seat but her food recommendations and terrific service with a brilliant smile made our night out a memorable occasion. Highly recommend and would definitely dine here again. ”

“ Fantastic cocktails, beautiful views, attentive service and good food! What more could we ask for? I am also appreciative that the servers were patient and professional with our party when for a moment we forgot where we were and I got into quite the passionate and somewhat heated conversation with my guest. ”
“ After trying two other restaurants we ended up here. Great decision. Service was great, the view really nice (to the bay). Drinks were tasty and food was awesome. Seems we had found a new favourite place whenever my husband has steak craving. Wish they still had the brunch buffet they used to have several years ago. That was one of my favourites too. ”
“ We stopped here on a recommendation from a worker at a gas station. We were very happy. Food was 5/5. Presentation was 5/5. Of our 2 week trip this was among the three best meals. ”
