We stopped here on Saturday, September 26, 2009 @ 2:00PM. Including the two of us, there were only five tables occupied in the restaurant and two people sitting in the bar area. The service was very, very slow. We had just come in from a two hour drive so we were looking for a relaxed meal but the pace here... more

This restaurant is VERY small. We had an 8pm reservation and had to wait for a table to clear. We then had to wait maybe 10 minutes before we could see menus, as all the ones the restaurant had were in use by other tables. There was only one server so everything did move very slowly. The food, though was... more

I will start with the good. I had the ahi tuna and it was cooked very well. The creamy basil dressing was really good. Now the bad. The side of rice was a little hard, as if it had been held to long. The soup was TERRIBLE! I had the clam chowder and it was completely watered down. There were... more

My wife and I came here last weekend whilst staying at the Seacliff next door. Contrary to the user who ranked this restaurant as 'terrible' we'd have to strongly disagree. When were were there is was quite quiet (an 8pm reservation on a Saturday evening meant most people were finishing up when we arrived). As far as the food goes,... more

I called a week in advance for a reservation for a window table. When we got there we were told window tables were reserved, we couldn't have one. We ate our meal and the "reserved" tables were still empty when we left. The room had absolutely no atmospshere or ambiance. The bar was in the same room and was very,... more

It was by accident we can upon this treasure. Stopped in for a drink at the bar. The bartender was so personable and helpful to us travlers. He told us about the area and Sea Cliff Hotel. We made a dinner reservation for that evening, walked over to the hotel and stayed in a wonderful room with a spectacular view.... more
