    Absolutely stunning views, excellent service (Ael is the bomb🔥) and the seabass is to die for! Wine selections are equally as amazing. Pricing is very fair for this level of dining.

    Beautiful day with clear skies. Table looked right out over the beach. Chilean seabass is one of my favorites. See other dishes at www.beach-vacations-firsthand.com/san-diego-restaurants.com

    Awesome breakfast view! Spinach omlette and eggs benedict are good choices. Service is not so great as we got all water and other drinks quite a bit late, but it is still worth the view.

    Seasonal menu. I always order whatever scallops they're preparing that day because they're always amazing. If you're looking for something different to drink, try the Pom Royale.

    Sea bass was buttery (per the style of fish) but under seasoned. The celery purée was heavenly. Who needs mashed potatoes?

    The house salad is wonderful. The coconut encrusted Mani with Yukon potatoes are the bomb. Day LA fresca. Ladies, bring a cover, even in summer can be cool.
