    Everything about this place was perfect! From seeing the lighthouse and Grace Kelly Beach, then enjoying a scrumptious lunch. I had the Black Bass and pumpkin tiramisu. The view was spectacular! The service was great. Thank you Autumn!

    The new fall menu is out and we really enjoyed the food. We shared a salad and had the soup and sandwich and the cuban sandwich, everything was great and the service was perfect. We had a great view and enjoyed walking the grounds after lunch.

    We had a wonderful lunch celebrating our baby turning 6 months! We were especially grateful to the host and our server Autumn for accommodating us with the high chair and enthusiasm. Autumn was a wonderful server! We had never eaten at the terrace before and can’t wait to again!
