    The crab Alfredo has a nice sauce, it isn't too heavy, and there is crab meat all throughout the pasta.

    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.

    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.

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