Food and service were good. It was a bit on the cold side in the restaurant, but we just kept our sweaters on. They sent out a beautiful complimentary dessert for the birthday we were were celebrating. I asked for referral on what seafood to order, and was not disappointed. Appreciated our server's suggestions.

It’s a tourist trap. The food is not good, I bought 4 of these certificates, so have to keep going back until I use it all. After I’m done with the certificates, I won’t ever go back.

The food was ok, nothing to rave about. Just the location is good and if you can get patio seating, otherwise, it was hot inside and limited views.

Great food, great ocean view and good service! I had the filet mignonette and my husband had the stuffed sole, both were very good. I would suggest the owners invest in an remodel/refresh and have the bakery area glass cleaned better. Other than that, great!

There were eggshells in several bites of my omelette and the waiter was not very friendly. Overall a very disappointing experience except that the weather was beautiful and the ocean view from the outdoor dining area was spectacular.

I really enjoyed their desserts that's what we went there for. Servers were very pleasant and friendly. Just got disappointed when my husband's glass had a lipstick mark. That's why I always have my family use straws at restaurants.

Good service. Most of our food was not good. Crepe with filet minion, the meat wasn’t chewable. Steamed mussels and clams was over cooked. Really good lobster bisque and bread and butter. They did not charge us a corkage fee.

Ambiance was nice especially for their location. Good food, but not worth the price. My significant other and I normally eat 50 dollars worth of steak and their steaks were definitely not the quality for the price. Desserts are definitely worth it though, but a little inconsistent on the texture of their macarons - we got a burnt bottom macaron cookie. It was only one bad cookie, but still worth the desserts.

The service was substandard. The waiter did not bring the bread. After we informed the waiter that we were ready to pay, the waiter did not return until 10 minutes later. My chicken and Brie sandwich was served with bad lettuce that are discolored.
