    Beautiful location. It’s unfortunate that the menu doesn’t change and remains uninventive.

    Rosemary was absolutely the best; we appreciated her professionalism, her sense of humor and her presence. Alex, who was assisting Rosemary, was also a wonderful addition to our experience and we would not recommend this team more:) The food was delicious, our table situated with a great view of the ocean and the gift of birthday dessert and two signed copies of photographs as birthday gifts for our friend really made our celebration extra special, We love the Highlands:)

    We were traveling and looking for one last dining ‘experience’. This place was awesome! The Pacific Ocean view was second to none, but the service and food was also wonderful. I’m always looking for the best French toast experience and this was Top 5 for sure. The edges were lightly crispy, the bread was delicious and the fresh berries added a nice touch. Side of bacon was perfectly cooked. I’d highly recommend!!

    Outstanding coastal views and attentive service. Dinner menu a bit abbreviated but we both found an entree we enjoyed. Very romantic in the fireplace room for dinner or drinks.

    Food and drinks were excellent but was disappointed because the Rainbow Trout was not on the menu. The menus on Open Table and the restaurant website both showed the rainbow trout. I was looking forward to ordering it because it is Ash Wednesday and we do not eat meat. We told the waiters they need to update their menus online.
