The food was great and the portions were way bigger than expected and well worth the price. The service was great also. Try the Seared Tuna and/or the Crab and Brie Pizza. Yum!

Half off sushi, pizza and drinks from 5 - 7. Pear and gorgonzola salad is great and if you have room for dessert, get the pizzookie. My favorite part of this place is of course the view though!

Atmosphere and view of downtown is best in Richmond. The food was amazing. I had the broiled seafood dinner. Each item had a distinct natural flavor not overpowered by salt like some seafood places.

Excellent food beautiful at sunset! If you're really hungry, get the crab cakes, If you want a smaller taste of something wonderful, have the scallops, both were delicious!

My Kobe burger was very tasty and cooked to order. If you have a cocktail order the bartender cannot make, DO NOT TRUST HIS JUDGMENT ON AN ALTERNATIVE.

I had the shrimp and grits. The portions were way small, it was overpriced, and it was just ok. I needed to add salt. Beautiful atmosphere though.

Drinks are expensive and prepared with hardly, if any, booze in them. Stay away from mojitos and order wine.
