We were lucky to get a table here, fills up very fast around sunset, even on a Monday. The view is fantastic, that’s definitely what you come here for. The food is good, but not worth the price. You can find better food at cheaper places down the street, but it’s hard to find a better view. I ordered the duck confit which was really good, but every other dish we ordered was just decent. If I come here again, it’d be for drinks during the sunset.

Went here for a quick lunch and for the vibes everyone has been raving about online. I got the fried chicken sandwich ($16) and my wife got the Grain Bowl ($17). I was not impressed with my sandwich. The chicken was very thick so i didn't feel like it was cooked right. It was very wet and kind of chewy so I couldn't eat it. I was only able to eat about 1/3 of it before feeling sick. My wife was Egh about her bowl as well. Overall, I would say this is more of a vibe spot rather than a tasty food spot. Also, they add a 4% sure-charge as like a tip then add another 22% tip at the end of the meal. Just something to bring up. I believe they're in business more for the vibes rather than the food. Not sure if I would come again.

We had so much fun. Really an evening eat I wanted to experience. A bit pricey but that’s to be expected based on location and who the area caters for. We had salmon, swordfish and chicken. The chicken might not be to our liking but it all tastes good. Service was outstanding. The view is the reason I’ll come back again 😊

The food tasted amazing!! I ordered the roasted half chicken whole my friend bought the lasagna. We ended with a warm chocolate cake for dessert. Our dessert was frozen cold when we first received it, but after I mentioned it to our server, they switched it out right away and brought over a delicious cake. There are three floors, which are all different. The bottom floor is closed with window views of the ocean, second floor has open windows while the top floor is open all around. If you're trying to get a good view, go during the day since you can't see much at night.

Questions & Answers

Are kids allowed in this restaurant?

trupti shanbhag | Aug 18, 2018
jeff sturm | Aug 18, 2018

Kids are allowed but the older the better. Also, the earlier part of the day would be better for kids.. like lunchtime. The evening crowd is Trendy and the restaurant becomes a little more romantic , as you look out over the Cove and the ocean. So kids could kinda detract from the moment.

Tried Calling. One of our favorites. No answer at 4:30 pm. Maybe between lunch and dinner. Want to know if they are open for small party of 4 for thanksgiving 2020 during Covid? Does anyone know that answer?

They're for sure taking reservations. My husband and I went a couple of days ago and, though we didn't have a reservation, they said there were reservations but we could still get in. Hope this helps

Do they really serve lion on Sundays?

This is the 1st time I know is they surf lion meat

are the prices reasonable

Vashti Hart | Aug 18, 2019
Roland Peacock | Aug 18, 2019

I would say that really depends on what you expect a reasonable price to be. Easy to spend $400+ on a meal for two with cocktails before and after.
