"that was really one of the worst culinary experiences of my life, and that involves recognizing some miles on the road that the drive thru did not give them a ketchup, and a minute after that it was the completely wrong order. we came to dinner later in the evening. we had no dinner. 20 minutes after sitting, a server finally recognized us, and strongly implicit in which section we were to drop the ball. no big thing, it was to close, it happened. we were asked for drinks orders, and the server ran off, 15 minutes before the regular kitchen closed. we are never asked if we wanted something else, although the restaurant served half an hour pizza. almost 20 minutes later we got our drinks and could order at least one desert. Drinks were badly made and not with menu descriptions or ingredients. the gloomy was average, but we didn't get a spoon for another ten minutes, and then we saw the dorks started, the waitress with the spoons. until then we had not been asked how we liked anything. When we were finally the desert, it became clear as we had eaten it. then we had to wait 20 minutes with wallets and cards on the table before someone came back to pay us. I can understand some of these problems when a restaurant was busy, but it wasn't that bar was crowded, but otherwise the place was almost empty, there were more employees than patrons. And with so many things was just inconvenient. Why, if they notice that a table sits for almost half an hour without water, would they not fly it to the manager as a problem? Why shouldn't the manager who walked around aimlessly notice this whole time? that was not a problem to be too busy or too short, it was a problem, simply not to care for, because very basic efforts could have prevented it from doing everything. the hostess could have told the server that they sat a table. the server that finally came would have the bases as wondering if we wanted to eat some. the bartender could have asked if they were too busy. the food runner could have noticed that we did not have the right cutlery and make sure it was treated. by all this, the manager would have done the basis of observation and corrected a problem before it got worse."

"Great dinner as always, beautiful views and great food. Have been here multiple times?this is a nice break from the typical ?tourist beach restaurant? experience. The food is wonderful, great flavors and presentation, and a very good cocktail and wine list. As there are big glass windows facing the bay, no matter where you are seated you will have a great view, especially as the sun is setting during dinner. Dinner was excellent, portions are nicely sized, and usually come with a small addition of rice or a vegetable. Some of the meals come with a side, others don?t depending on the meal, but you can order from a side selection if you like. A couple issues; one is that because the restaurant is very open to allow everyone views of the bay, the flat windows, walls and ceilings allow conversations to bounce around the room and it is extremely loud with all the tables full and everyone talking. Definitely needs some some professionally placed acoustic sound treatment panels, which would easily take care of the issue and drop the volume significantly. The other was for some reason our white tablecloth looked like it had been balled up before being put on the table?weird because it was so wrinkled it was noticeably distracting. Price is as expected for a nicer beach restaurant? we averaged $70 per person for a meal with cocktails, wine, and desert. Would recommend?definitely! Will we come back?absolutely!"
