    In spite of touristy like location the restaurant had a good local vibe. Service was great. Food was fantastic. Ambience was 4-star if u get seated near a window. Only complaint was stale, dried out chocolate cake for dessert. Plan on returning for sure.

    Called and asked if dogs are allowed but they didn’t say it was outside. It looked nice inside and service looked great inside with white table cloth. Outside was on a metal table and service wasn’t even great. For the price … it was not good. Food was also salty

    Herb butter with the bread was an exceptional added touch. Seafood Alfredo was to die for. Server was over the top. Food consistently good every time. I'm local and eat here with friends frequently. Super added bonus was the large number of sea birds feasting on anchovies. Server and bus person were very knowledgeable and entertaining with anchovy lore with us. Delightful way to spend an afternoon- meal was especially good, wonderful views, outstanding staff. A must to experience over and over.

    While the fish items were good the steak did not look great. Vegetables were well cooked. Even though we had a reservation we did not get a window seat even when there was one open. Largest problem was the lack of menu knowledge of the staff. Asked about wine by glass and was told they did not do that—they do. Then he did not recognize the wine I selected without having to point to it on the menu. Expected better from prior visits
