We always love the ambience here and it was a beautiful day. We could see the ocean. The wait staff is friendly and efficient. I tried a new item (at least I've not seen it before) the grilled octopus salad and enjoyed it a lot. The dessert-- a pumpkin cheesecake chocolate thing was EXCELLENT!!

Food and service were excellent. Taste, texture, flavor all delivered with creative flair. Dessert was the crowning touch. Open setting full of light and distant views added to the ambiance. An experience worth repeating.

Average food, nice waitress but terrible, slow service! We waited 30 minutes between meal and dessert, no one cleaned the table and it was a birthday celebration. Dessert was great !
