Everything went well until a yacht moored at the restaurant’s dock and not only obstructed the view of that side of the restaurante (understandable so) but also made everybody’s conversations very difficult due the noise level (their music impeded even listening the music from the restaurant). Even though we expressed our discomfort to the staff, they said they couldn’t do anything, because the restaurant allows that. I will definitely think it twice next time I want to go there…

The Alaskan King Crab was awesome, but, the plate was huge. My wife's risoto wasn't "al dente", I mean, the point was wrong. Maybe, because the wonderfull sweet rice as dessert. They might mistaken the order.

Took my girlfriend here for a nice dinner to finish off the day and the service was very quick and kind. The appetizer was served almost immediately despite how packed it was. However, the entrées were understandably delayed a bit but well worth the wait as the view was beautiful and the food was delicious.

Since we got there the hostess was unprofessional. I reserved a table next to the river and the hostess didn’t want to gave us that table even with the restaurant 20 per cent capacity. I have to insist a lot and the she gave us the table. The staff is unprofessional. The doesn’t show prices for a lot of plates and they charge what they want. Be careful with cocktails and desserts. I forgot the valet parking empty and the valet charge me $25 even when the stand was showing $10. The server never asked if everything was ok. Food quality is decent. Overpriced in my opinion. I will never recommend this place. There are a lot of places better than this one. I hope the owners read this comment and take action with his staff.
