    I was there for my birthday dinner with my husband and friends. I had the Halibut. It was absolutely amazing. Drinks were great, service was attentive and on spot. We got there right at sunset for some stunning group pics of the Pacific sunset from our seat on the patio. Everything was perfect for a special birthday celebration.
