I have to agree with this review. My wife and I went there not long after they opened with high expectations. The remodeled dining area was very nice, but the food was a disappointment. Food was not tasty and left us both wondering if they needed a few more weeks to work out the menu and get things right. Have not been back since but was planning to, then I read this review and it looks like we will go elsewhere until they get the issues worked out. For service it was not bad but it did take a long time to get a refill on the water, and as the reviewer said I also tended to drink a lot of water with the meal.

We had a great dinner !! We went in February & it was when they had a "soft opening" . Our servers, busboys, etc were over the top. We sat upstairs & had a lovely view of Sana Cruz Ave & the hills behind. We had the fresh muscles on the half shell plus the asparagus fries Salmon & steak were the entrees ! Nothing to complain from us except that finding a phone number was difficult. Otherwise, maybe he reviewer should try again .

So many uninteresting pics of the building exterior yet none of the main and rooftop dining areas. Puzzling.

After hearing mixed reviews on the food, I decided to go there with my daughter and a close friend. We were pleasently surprised by how good the food was. We went in early June. Service was also excellent.
