The food and service really really impressed us. We were the last table sat for lunch so we had the entire restaurant to ourselves. A bit awkward as it was very very quiet but the staff were extremely attentive, friendly, and did not rush us at all. We enjoyed the drinks, salads and entrees we ordered a lot. The serving sizes were large and flavorful, making the price worth it.

We came for the view, and on a cloudy day, it wasn’t quite the coastal feel that other reviewers might have given you. Instead, with a view of the pool, the golf course, and ocean in the deep background, you get the vibe that you’re at a fancy cabin retreat. And that’s also fun but a bit more serious than coastal. Note that for lunch there are no tablecloths but for dinner they dress every table up with white linens. In case that vibe affects your choice of outfit.

Service was amazing. Spot on. Food was great as well. Had the duck and was one of my favorites out of all times I have had duck. They even did a little extra for our anniversary

I enjoyed coming here for lunch with my parents. I don't often dine at fancy restaurants, so I don't have much to compare to, but overall it was really great — I went with the mussels dish which was incredible. The service was on point. Everything about it was a good experience. The weather was good, and parking was a little tricky because there were so many golfers on that Friday mid-day time.

The menu was creative, the food was delicious, and the service was professional.  What else can I ask for more.  If you lucky enough sitting in the outdoor patio, the sunset view in the afternoon, or the golf course view in the daytime are both stunning!!  I enjoyed the live music as well.  Acoustic music was played in just the right volume.   Love this place and enjoy the food very much.

Food and service were excellent here. Jake and the busser (didn’t get his name!) wearing black face mask, were both lovely.

I was recommended the Bull’s Eyes dish that was super tasty, except for the prosciutto part, which was extremely salty and inedible.

We also ordered the Chicken Salad Sandwich and Caramelized French Toast, both which were phenomenal.

Here are the deets of the dishes:
"Bull's Eyes"
Slow Roasted Eggplant. Sunny Side-Up Eggs
Prosciutto, Tomato Sauce. Chili Flakes

Chimney Smoked Chicken Salad Sandwich Sultanas, Almonds, Watercress, Croissant

Caramelized French Toast
Vanilla Cream, Orange Blossom, Honey. Berries
