First time here and I would love to come back! We had a party of 18 and everyone was so gracious and polite. We didn't experience any waits notneven for seating since we had reservations. Drinks were quickly and delicious. Our server Jason wasn't only knowledgeable but also funny and I appreciated his humor!! I ordered stuffed shrimp and the wife ordered one of her favorites, Prime Rib!!! Tender and flavorful.. I don't drink I order a non alcoholic mocktail and it was fantastic. Blood-Orange Sage!!

Visited on 11/15/25 at 4:00 PM. Our server was very friendly, and the food was decent, but we encountered four notable mistakes:
1) I ordered the chopped salad without onions, but it came with onions.
2) We were informed that we would receive bread with our salad, but it didn’t arrive. I had to remind the server, and it was packed to go at the end of our meal.
3) We didn’t receive the bleu cheese sauce that was supposed to accompany the swordfish special. The server caught this mistake halfway through our meal.
4) The mashed potatoes that were supposed to come with the swordfish special were also missing. I had to bring this to the server's attention towards the end of our meal, and they were packed to go.
The view from the restaurant is really nice, especially with clear skies. However, considering it was a very slow time at the restaurant, it’s surprising to have encountered so many mistakes on my wife and my first visit to this establishment.

My partner and I had lunch here a few weeks ago. The view and atmosphere were pretty good. A lot of people mention about the calamari in their review, so we ordered to share. I was glad we did. It was nice and crispy. The shaved prime rib benedict was very disappointing. It wasn't juicy at all. The grilled fish was delightful though. I wanted to stay longer to enjoy the view, but of course there was a fly so we left as soon as we finished eating.

4 of 5 plates came out cold, not even tepid. Ordered a side spinach and it too was cold. Asked to speak to the manager and never came after 20 minutes. Eventually went to him, Levi’s response was underwhelming. This was very unfortunate, and I am embarrassed for the establishment and more importantly for Levi and is lack of skill to resolve a fairly simple and mundane issue. Don’t waste your money!
