"Absolutely outstanding! I got a steak and rice bowl and added chicken to it with teriyaki and sesame sauces. All of the food was really tasty and the portions were big but the steak was really stand out phenomenal! It's juicy and flavorful and very tender. The owner seemed to know everyone that came in by name which was really nice, she was super friendly. Everyone working was very friendly. I imagine this place has a lot of regulars, it's really good and there are options if you're looking to save some money but feed the whole family good, clean, wholesome food but they also have some really indulgent options as well. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone that's hungry."

"Delicious food and a lovely view of the yachts outside. The wait staff was wonderful so friendly, kind and attentive overall. However, the kitchen was a bit slow. It took a while to get our order and it wasn't super busy. But worth the wait as it was quite delicious. We went for brunch one of us had avocado toast with salmon and eggs, and the other had crabcake benedict. Will definitely go back."

"This charming little restaurant offers a burst of flavor in a relaxed setting. I visited for dinner on a Wednesday evening; although there were several occupied tables, I was seated right away. I ordered the Bife de Chorizo (NY steak), which was cooked to perfection—well-seasoned and incredibly tender. The fettuccine Alfredo was some of the best pasta I've ever tasted, featuring fresh homemade noodles and a wonderfully creamy buttery sauce. The empanadas were tasty, and the chimichurri sauce was quite good. However, I was a bit let down by the dinner salad; it was just a basic mix of lettuce with a few grape tomatoes. While the creamy Italian dressing was spot on, I would have appreciated a wider variety of vegetables and some hand-torn greens. The food presentation felt a bit outdated. Nonetheless, with delicious steak and pasta, plus friendly service, I would definitely consider making this place a regular haunt."

"This is an excellent spot for a liquid brunch or a relaxing afternoon at the beach. The ambiance has a fun, beachy vibe that adds to the experience. They offer an extensive selection of beers and cocktails, with a unique emphasis on oversized glassware. We sampled the appetizer combo, which was standard bar fare. However, we couldn't help but notice a stunning calzone being served at another table!"

"The food itself was mediocre at best. I ordered the purple potatoes(bland but dipped in ranch you can’t go wrong with potatoes), wedge burger(dry), lobster Mac cheese(was ok, not spectacular). Not worth the price hype. I could say my expectations were high, I really thought the food would wow me. But the ahi nachos up the street from Roof Top Lounge were 100000000% better than all of those items. I ordered the chocolate soufflé for dessert. Everyone RAVED over it. Unfortunately, it fell short as well. It was my least favorite. When I poured the sauce on, there were chunks. The flavor was bland. BUT the staff were kind. So I’d give staff 5/5 stars, the food 2/5. I stayed above the restaurant, was here for 3 days. Hoping to have a better turn out next time I stay eat here. The free bread butter were very good. 5/5 on that."
