Ate at the bar for breakfast . Great, prompt service . Breakfast sandwich was excellent! Very friendly staff . Would certainly come again.

Instagramable

Amazing view ! But make sure you have a substantial amount of time to wait two hours for your food in a restaurant with ten customers.....

eric bornemann

Standard run of the mill hotel restaurant , but if you sit outside overlooking the bay all is forgiven.

Maria Keckler

Lovely lunch . The Soup and 1/2 Sandwich special was delicious. Waiter was great. Hostesses need to be more personable.

Rozanne Michaels

Great food and excellent service!!!

Lorrie Klossner

Outside, watching the boats on a sunny morning with a glass of wine ... Heaven

José A Castillo

Best service at the bar . Travis is an INSANE mixologist

Wendy Muse

The tuna tartare is incredible!

Jonathan Gonzalez

Try the honey bee

Chris Lockhart

Ahi tataki. Good. God.

Bill H

The wine is atrociously expensive ($12 a glass for average domestic!!!!!!!). And the appetizer meat and cheese plates are also poor value at $16.

John Thomas

Breakfast buffet awesome!!!

Robert Nelson

Try the 72 hour short rib ... sooo tender

Glenn Arcaro

Great view of the banana boat ! ;)

Aaron Green

Horrible food - walk over to the gas lamp district instead. Very average - not what it used to be..

Andy Wang

Short rib is ok. Not terribly good service even when not busy.

Monique Ramsey

Run - far far away. Bad service & mediocre food.
