"Food was great! Start with the Bread combo. Great Bread and toppings and plenty of it. Had a Filet Mignon with Scallops. Was excellent. She had the Butternut Squash Ravioli which was great. Key Lime Pie dessert was OUTSTANDING...MY FAVORITE. Nice view of the Boats and Birds flying by. We'll be back."

Manager was amazing! He really cares about the guest. Hostess was so sweet. Server was not friendly and felt very rushed. Steak was great! Calamari was great! Dessert was not great. The short rib was very dry and then half was solid fat and inedible. This is NOT the restaurants fault but the seagull poop is everywhere being at the marina! On the seats etc. Beautiful setting overlooking the boats.
Maybe the server got upset as soon as I said I had the travelzoo-because as soon as I had travelzoo is when she acted differently. Which is a shame because she never refilled our waters or asked if we wanted another drink etc. but it’s still worth going because half the food was delish. And owner/manager was fantastic. I’m sure if we had said something he would have taken care of it!

We were expecting a brunch menu but instead it was a buffet. The food was tasteless and lukewarm. We reserved a table outside but we couldn't choose the location. No one explained what the voucher included. We had to ask our server.

We live in the neighborhood and wanted to try this restaurant because it’s got a fabulous location with a terrific view of the marina. A beautiful night to sit outside and enjoy a cocktail and dinner. Very glad that we got a Travelzoo voucher to try it. I’d highly recommend!

The food and the views were good, but we could have gone anywhere and to spend $240 (before the travelzoo special) and not have any alcohol that was a lot for what you got. Be advised that they add a 6% surcharge for employee benefits. This is increasingly rare in San Diego and it is NEVER 6% of the total bill. This was ridiculous.

The food was absolutely nothing special. At this price point it should at least have some flavor.
I can make a much better salmon at home for 1/4 of the price!!

Sometimes they're understaffed, and that makes for long wait times to be served.

The hostess was a little rude at first, we were 5 minutes early for our reservation and she told us we would have to wait 10 minutes when the restaurant was not very busy- half the tables were empty. We ended up sitting at the bar and eating dinner there which worked out fine. The food was expensive but very delicious!!! Glad we paid $50 for $100, the total bill for 2 of us with drinks came to $200 so we paid $150 for the meal.

We like this restaurant and enjoyed our experience. Making a reservation took 3 calls, but it didn't really matter because we were able to get in easily. Food was mostly really good, and we weren't in any hurry, so the service was acceptable and the server was pleasant. Very nice, relaxing experience, on a beautiful day in lovely surroundings. Who can ask for anything better than enjoying San Diego weather on the patio in January! Most of the country is currently freezing!! We are in paradise!

The “brunch” was just their leftover breakfast buffet with a couple of lunch items. Not worth going again! The staff seemed shocked that we were not hotel guests, as no one else bothers to frequent their buffet. It was empty on a holiday weekend.
No substitutions. Seasonal items subject to change.
