Food is meh, atmosphere and service were great.This restaurant has a lot of Insta-hype and unfortunately doesn’t live up to it. We ordered 4-5 dishes and the salad was the only dish that we enjoyed, the crab cakes and chucked sandwich were just so so and lacked flavor.Drinks were great - beautiful presentation and tasted great.Still a nice spot but don’t expect to be wowed.

Great! Not the same menu as the one on Venice, but still good! The atmosphere on the water is fabulous, but we had a table in the back and couldn't see the boats.Dietary restrictions: A lot of fish on the menu!

We went for brunch and it was so good!! The Surfer Rancheros were amazing. Everything was fresh, healthy, and delicious! The mimosa flight was a lot of fun. Kale-apple juice and the pineapple juice were our favorites.Dietary restrictions: So many gluten free and vegan options on the menu.

I have been here many times. I like to come for breakfast and brunch.The restaurant has great vibes and the view to the Marina makes it special. They have indoor and outdoor seating by the water with heaters. ☺️Good service, food, and atmosphere,Food, coffee, juices, and teas are really good.Pet friendly.The shops near the restaurant are one of a kind.Enough parking for everyone.

The service was great and food was amazing.Had to wait 20 minutes for a table with a better view. I didn’t mind waiting time since I treated my self a few cocktails by the bar.I recommend the Korean Short Ribs!!!

Quaint place on the water. But I'm disappointed in myself for feeling obligated to leave a % tip versus a gratitude for service beyond expectations, which is what a tip is. When did we become brainwashed to believe the customer is responsible to pay wages?Our waitress was definitely not deserving of a tip greater than the wage I make as a nurse. How sad is that?Service staff, your job is to receive orders, deliver orders, clean tables, refill drinks. You are paid for that. Service BEYOND that earns tips. If you do not provide pleasant services beyond that dont expect a tip. The role entitlement is egregarious.For those ill inclined of services worthy of tipping, please appreciate: server meal/preparation suggestions, advocating for your customer, ensure orders are correct before delivering them to the table, keep the atmosphere pleasant, ensure customers enjoy their visit and want to return... smile and thank them for coming, be attentive to needs.

It's a cute spot with a view on the water with great, fresh, and creative food dishes. I wish I could leave it at that and leave 5 stars. Unfortunately, our service was so bad that I can't do that. Our server Serah V ruined our entire experience! She was rude with a negative attitude. She behaved as if she despised my friend and I. She appeared judgemental and was not friendly. I had my 5 y.o. Autistic son with me. She NEVER ONCE asked if I wanted to order anything to eat or drink for him, instead, she ignored him the entire time, like he wasn't even there! At the end, she stuck a portable credit card machine to each of our faces, as of demanding a tip. Then, instead of saying "Thank you" for leaving her a 20% tip (I so regret that I even did that!) she just walked away. Then, when we were leaving, she was standing outside talking to kitchen staff, she saw us leave but did not smile or thanked us for coming, just gave us a hateful look instead. Management of any restaurant needs to realize that their waiting staff are the face of their establishment, they are what makes the place good or bad, in addition to the food quality. Rude and unfriendly staff leave a sour taste in your mouth and a negative impression of the entire restaurant to the point you never want to come back.

Always love the food and ambiance. Servers are always nice and friendly.A hostess named Mia who stands at the podium is a terrible first impression for the restaurant. She’s rude - gave us an annoyed look because we asked to sit inside. Told us to “stand over there” and wait—— a server had to come out and tell her to seat us already, because there were plenty of open tables.I’ll never understand how a restaurant puts so much work into everything and then let some untrained child ruin their efforts right from the first impression.

We had very sweet and friendly waitresses served drinks and her shift finished, continued with a different waitress, this waitress was totally opposite from the previous one, came to took the appetizer order, never come back to check on the food, we had to look for her to place the dinner order, dinner came out, I m not happy with my pork being dried, however I don’t see her around and she never came to check our dinner. Check was dropped on the table with full of dishes, empty glassware and never asked if we needed to pack up leftovers. The service was below average, but when I pay the service charge it has no below average option, what kind of the management????
