- AYAndrea Youngdahl5 days ago3.0The service was EXCELLENT, but we ordered 3 plates and we were not impressed with any of them. Great venue, great service, bad food.
- VVVictorJan 4, 20265.0Had a great dinner here and enjoyed all the dishes. The Ahi Tuna Wellington is a standout option. Hokkaido scallop was good. View was great to watch the sunset on the beach.
- ESEld SDec 31, 20255.0Absolutely awesome food,service and view. Even though it rained
- ECEdward ChenDec 19, 20253.0Tldr; Incredible atmosphere but a little underwhelming food. We ordered the Kanpachi and the Crab noodle main dishes with a scallop appetizer. First, the Crab noodles were a little too salty, which overwhelmed the other profiles of the dish. Also, there were crab shells still in the dish. The Kanpachi was ok, although the fish was slightly over cooked, leaving a rather odd texture taste in the mouth. No critique for the scallops; the passion fruit sauce balanced the scallops well. A big critique was the water served, which had a strong chemical / chlorinated taste. We had to order bottled water as it was simply unpalatable. The cocktails were well made, probably some of the best I've ever had. Overall, for the price point, the food was a little underwhelming while the beach front atmosphere and environment were quite enjoyable. Great for a romantic evening but don't expect too much in terms of food.
- MCMatthew CallawayDec 2, 20255.0Easily one of the most amazing meals I've ever had. Their oysters are grown on site and are truly delicious. The lobster and frites are served with a perfect hollandaise. The crab noodles are made of a mochi and have the most incredible texture. Everything was exceptional. Get the chocolate souffle. We were served by Lee and she had every great suggestion we needed and took incredible care of us. We will never forget this anniversary meal.
