I liked! The view is awesome. Reserve a table against the windows, they have binoculars for look the landscape. We ordered mussels and crab. It was good but a little oily. The wine was good quality.

Went there last Saturday night, left with total disappointment. Mussels too small and other seafood were portion so small that I need a 2nd round at home! I will not go there again any time soon.

Ordered garlic crab legs - the most bland crab legs ever! No hint of garlic, nor any flavor.

Crab !!!! Loved it
Lona BruncieAugust 9, 2011
Great Bloody Mary's ... No pickles though and no Michelob Ultra!!
Scuba SteveFebruary 26, 2012
On the "pre-fixed menu" you can't change ANYTHING! Not even house salad to a Cesar? NO! Wow okay... Super Lame. Have the option for either, the cost is pretty much the same.
