Life music on Friday evening.

Acoustics have room for improvement. It was hard to hear the other ladies on my table and have a meaningful conversation. The live music was relaxing; albeit loud.

Ping me for any additional questions. I am happy to help.

I can say I was truly satisfied with this restaurant and with this being the place to eat rnight where we were staying - The Portofino Hotel, this is a really good choice. The first meal I had here was a cheeseburger, because after the flight, that was the first thing I wanted. It was great, I really don't like my meat charred, but it was well done and I wanted it fast, so they tried to work with me I guess.... Anyhow, the rest of the food I had here was great! The poke, the salmon with eggs in the morning, their toast is awesome and the butter is amazing here!! The dressing for the salad is also great! They have daily specials here, which I wish I knew before, but now that I do, next time I go, I'll be on that! ????. When I went, it was taco Tuesday. It was yummy. Anyhow, it's an awesome atmosphere with the yatchs out in front; I can say, I do enjoy the food here and the atmosphere, when it's chill. And night I feel it can get a little noisy. But I'm writing because I did enjoy the food here. Whoever was behind the kitchen when I was eating my food did a great job! I enjoy this place when it's chill and relaxed, usually the mornings and the afternoons. I'll be coming again! Cheers from Texas! Thank you for the great food! ????????????

Nice ambiance with spread out tables overlooking the marina or the courtyard, with a big fireplace in the middle and food that doesn't disappoint. Came here for dineLA to endulge in yummy appetizers and entrees. Seems like new American with Asian influences which makes for great flavors. Will have to return to try more dishes but first impression was on point.

I love this place. Perfect for a first date kinda thing if u wanna leave a good impression!

The first time I came here I was really impressed. Came back a second time, post-remodel, and was disappointed. The food and drink is still excellent. But the service is God-awful. Slow, inattentive, often lost-looking wait staff is not a good look. No one seems to care how I thought my meal was, no one asked if we wanted a second cup of coffee, and despite everyone else being offered a water we were not. Little things add up, and in this case they added up to a disappointing second visit. At these prices I expect better service.
