    We had a special surf and turf that was phenomenal and the largest lobster if I’ve ever been served! We also ordered the scallop and mushroom pasta which was also such a huge portion and the sauce was creamy and the scallops were cooked to perfection!! Literally melt in your mouth deliciousness

    Service was great. The filet was good, but the rest of the food was just ok. Might have been worth the trade off of cost if we went to during the day as the view of the ocean might have made up for it a little.

    This was a 1st try here - I was attracted by the menu. On arrival, we found a sign saying "VALET FULL", i.e., there is nowhere to park. This forced us to drive around and around to find street parking. So we didn't get off on the right foot there. We had a reservation, and they have a beautiful, warm dining room, but they sat us outside on an oversized table surrounded by plastic tarps ... hmm (a different experience obviously). The cocktails were great. They gnocchi was great, though it would have been better w/o the truffle. Bill's filet mignon was fair. I had the ciopinno but didn't eat much of it - they had a very appealing-looking giant prawn, but it was so overcooked it was inedibly chewy. The calimari was hit and miss - some soft, some chewy. But the broth was watery and lacking in flavor. Since this was their signature dish, I wasn't thrilled. ... maybe they gave the good ciopinno to the people who got to park there and sit in the dining room.
