The food was terrible and the service was the worst I have ever had. I would never go back and neither should anybody. All it has is a view and it's just like having a picnic on Santa Monica Pier. They don't deserve to be in business.

Food was EXCELLENT. I had a grilled Lobster tail in some type of cheesy alfredo sauce. It was TO DIE FOR. The wine selection that our waiter helped us to choose was an excellent pairing. Our waiter was polite, courteous, timely, (and he even sympathized with us not being from Califorinia originally). Great restaurant. Please don't miss this restaurant! I'd give it a solid 9, but my review only let's me give 5's!
