I love their seafood linguine Isabella! Absolutely delicious and had everything I needed in a pasta. Their service was also amazing, they were so patient with my friends and I everytime we had any questions or concerns! The ambiance and view also set the tone of the dinner VERY well! Absolutely would come here again!

Me and my partner decided to try this place because of the abundance of reviews stating how great it was and we can vouch the same now! The ambiance is so welcoming the moment you walk in! The hostesses are great and so are the servers. If you have children keep in mind that they are not really kid friendly in the sense that they do not have high chairs and other things kids may require at a restaurant. However, it does not come as a surprise! I noticed when families with little ones seemed interested in dining, they let them know right away of their rules and then it was up to the parents to decide! Me and my partner got 2 cocktails and 2 main entrees and they did not disappoint! The food and drinks were delicious! The clam chowder is a must try we got it in the garlic bread bowl and we could not get enough of it. My partner got the Macadamia Parmesan Crusted Halibut with 2 prawns, vegetables and sweet potato and the halibut was very delicate and flavorful. The server also was giving all the girls a rose as a favor for dining and it was the sweetest thing. We can't wait to come back and try some of their other dishes! Everything looked so delicious

Justino and Rubin provided fantastic and quick service. Servers heard us discussing my fathers birthday and gave him a slice of cake on the house! The view from our table was gorgeous, overlooking the ocean and some beautiful monterey cypress trees. The food was fair and the wine selection was fantastic.
