Things were hectic when we arrived, so despite having a reservation, we had to wait about 5 10 minutes to be seated. There was mold somewhere (I think near the deck), so that scent would occasionally come inside and be quite off putting. We ordered the calamari to start and then the salmon for our entree. The calamari was probably the star of the show the portion, peppers, and aioli were all incredible. The salmon was well cooked, but I felt the BBQ sauce was a bit too sweet. Everything else was great. I write this review being more picky than usual, simply because of the price. Similar to other reviews here, the price does not match the ambiance, level of service, or quality you would imagine to receive at the current price point. I do want to say that the staff was trying their hardest and we really did appreciate that. If you want the water view, though, this is the place to go.
