    The food was bland. We had to ask for salt and pepper. Coffee was very watery. The water for my date's tea was not very hot. The value was not at all equal to the price or the setting. The music volume was way too loud making it difficult to converse with the person I was with. The only memorable things were the setting and the dessert.

    I went here for Valentine's Day and the experience was fabulous. The attentive service was superb and the Filipino lady who greeted us was so friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the chicken sandwich, one of the better sandwiches I've had in a long time. Also, the Korean steak had lots of flavor and was delicious. We ended the meal with the lava cake which added the perfect touch. Of course, we will be back again! Thanks for the great meal!

    No OpenTable points given, no explanation. Felt like a bait and switch, very unpleasant.

    This whole experience was amazing! Our waitress that just moved to the Bay from AZ, completely stunning and so amazing while taking care of your table. I will for sure be back. If you happen to see this note, please share my message to the young lady.

    Beautiful view. Friendly bartender. I returned for evening drinks. A little pricey for liquor and beer drinks. Electric palm trees in the middle patio.

    I was very surprised that Open Table ranked this restaurant as #1 for lunch places on the water in San Mateo County. Felt more cafeteria style. Flatbread was not actually traditional flatbread. It was pizza bread that could have come out of the frozen section at grocery store. Salmon Burger was good. It was very quiet which was very nice for visiting. Would not go again.

    The staff and service was great, we felt well looked after. Food was good and try the chocolate tart it will surprise you, it did me and I have been in hospitality for over 40 years but I still love surprises!
