   Sat outside and watched the ocean and crowd walking by. Relaxing time.

   The chowder was very good and it was a big serving. Mike ordered the bison and pulled pork sandwich. It was good but the bbq sauce overwhelmed the taste of the bison so he wasn’t sure how the bison actually tasted. Our server was very good and attentive. One thing to note is when you ask for water, you will get a bottle of water for $1.50. The Island is doing a great job on conserving water

   Your typical tourist trap restaurant. Food was ok, but expensive. The worst part of this experience was how they charged us for water without informing us. Upon getting seated, we are offered water - your standard restaurant task. However, It was $1.50/water. Ridiculous! We asked the waiter why we were charged for regular water and his excuse is "water isn't safe to drink on Catalina so you have to get bottled water." Dishonesty and thievery. Do not recommend this place

   The food is delicious- highly recommend the grilled artichoke for a starter and the prime rib for the entree!

   I had the prime rib and my husband had the half rack of ribs. Both meals looked and tasted very good. This was our first time eating at this restaurant and we will definitely eat here again.
