    The Super Campechana (pic) is AWESOME!! The fish taco (pic) is the BEST I have ever had, vodka oyster shooter is a must. Great food here, good beers on tap.

    Cioppino and Scampi were delicious. The staff was wonderful and a beautiful view of the harbor. They even have heaters in the patio!!! We have been twice this week!!!

    The stacked ahi is amazing! Ask Chef Luis what wine to pair it with. He won't steer you wrong!

    Food is good, view is pretty but the service is EXTREMELY SLOW. They could kill it if they just upped the service a notch
