Came here recently for a girl's brunch and loved it! I was having a rough morning but as soon as I walked in and saw the place, I knew I was going to have a good time!
The design/décor is really impressive and fun. There's truly no bad seat in the house. Anywhere you sit, you have a good view of the bay and some sun. Definitely bring some sunglasses.
My friends and I ordered the garden scramble, lobster Benedict, and chilaquiles, which we all enjoyed. Our server Megan, was very friendly and let us know upfront that she's also part of the bar team so if we didn't see her around, we could ask any waiter for anything we needed too. The manager or owner was also walking around and he was very welcoming.
Although the reservation page said there was a 2-hour limit on the table, we didn't feel rushed out at all.
Definitely will be coming back again!

The atmosphere was beautiful, absolutely loved it. The cocktails were good.
Had a few issues though. 1) We had a reservation set for over a week, they decided to give us a table that’s in the WAITING area, which is in the parking garage, not even inside the restaurant. Luckily I was able to talk to them and ask for a table that’s actually INSIDE the restaurant, because that’s what we went for, the atmosphere. 2) service was not great. They were polite, and I always give grace and understand things can be hectic especially around this time of the year but it was just a little much, took forever to get water, food was brought that nobody ordered, and one of the members of our party didn’t get their food until I told the server that her food hadn’t come out (some of us were half way done with our meal). 3) The manger came to us on her own to introduce herself which was nice, but also shows me that they know there was a lot going on.
I would try it again, I do understand that things happen, but that was an interesting experience.

The place is very cute and is great for photo op. We were seated fast as it was pretty empty. We were a party of 7 mostly younger kids and we were charged a mandatory 20 percent tip which I was never notified in advance. My sever was great in the beginning but couldn't find her. I had to asl several different people for water, drinks, condiment, and to clean our table. The service was super slow which I was suprised as they place was empty. The food came out a different times and I was still waiting on my food and another person. I had to glad them down to remind me of two plates were missing. I feel like since my server knew she was getting a tip no matter what her focuses was to the othe people that was siting next to us. The food was okay but for the price point I would of liked to have more fries for my lobster roll as well for the rest of the group. I would definitely go back to try again maybe they were having a off day. We also went on the Duffy boat ride and our boat needed to be towed back to the restaurant as a bag was stuck on the motor. It was a nice little ride definitely would not pay for so make sure you ask for the free ride.

First impression is how cute this restaurant is. Everything is so pink and cute. Very pretty photo op place. The staff was super nice and accommodating. We were running late and they were still able to seat us. We sat by the water front view but it got a little too warm and they were able to kindly move us.
I had the Bloody Mary which was alright. We ordered the chilaquiles, chicken waffles and steak and eggs. The chicken and waffles were good. However, the chilaquiles were cold when they brought them out, still tasted good but we had to send them back. The chef came back with another “fresh” plate but they were still cold. Wouldn’t really recommend the chilaquiles if you love them as these will disappoint you. My friend did love and rave about the steak and eggs.

Food was horrible. Service was okay. Had planned a surprise chocolate cake for my honey with "I love you♡" written in chocolate syrup, they didnt tell me the dessert item I had planned was sold out until after my meal, not to mention, I literally asked the host if everything was looking good with the surprise and she said yes. Poor communication between the hosts and servers. When I tell you guys the food is overpriced and disgusting, I genuinely mean it. Paid $20 extra for lobster in my Mac n cheese, there were only 4 little pieces. Overall, this experience was a 3/10.
The only thing saving this place is the cute atmosphere.
