Everything is phenomenal. I you are worried about price, come during restaurant week. Usually $40 a person.

Right on the water and the food is very good. Usually good view and good food don't go together.

The view is beautiful and would recommend coming here for drinks but not the food. The food tasted mediocre. Definitely needs work. Thankfully the service is up to par w/the view.

Order the "debrahs skirts on fire salad" the "old fashioned" way. It's the only way to eat it. They decided to make a healthy version on the menu. Bad call.
