"The food, ambiance and service were all amazing overall. The lobster is grilled and perfectly cooked - served with a delicious fresh garlic butter. The restaurant just celebrated their 25th anniversary and I see why!"
- Mari W.
"Service was great. All staff were super attentive. Can't beat the ambiance of viewing the Santa Monica pier just before sunset! I can't wait to come back!!"
