Christmas Dinner watching the waves.

This was an excellent place for Christmas dinner. Great views, good food, pretty good service. It was cold and windy so we sat inside but could still enjoy the magnificent view.

Stayed At the Hotel

The staff were great and service was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised how good the food was here considering the price. The happy hour specials are not to be missed! The view adds a great atmosphere at Sundown.
