Magnificent view and atmosphere, mostly outdoor so it is nicest when the weather is nice. The service was friendly , valet parking offered, the salmon burger was delicious

Caitlin Lawler

The grilled shrimp are delicious! Get here early to get a seat out by the water and then relax, listen to the band and enjoy the view with a refreshing punch bucket!

I ordered their Fish Roo-Ben but I ended up with their Kanga Roo-Ben which is beef . It's still good. I ordered the rice as side coz I'm Filipino. ????
