I haven't reviewed any restaurants lately and when I do I'm generally positive, or at least am motivated to post by a good experience. This is the opposite.
I'll start with the good though. If you've never been, it's the best location and has incredible ocean views. The building has character, and as it was December, it was decorated beautifully for Christmas. The service was good. Fast and polite, no issue there.
However, I ordered a simple old fashioned. It was frankly the worst drink I've ever had. It tasted like water, had little if any bourbon, and even had what I think was cinnamon. I'm not sure the bartender had ever made one before. I couldn't believe how bad it was.
Then we got the calamari. Bland, chewy, borderline inedible. Whatever the vinaigrette was supposed to be, it wasn't. And even with the sauce on the side there was nothing redeeming. For maybe the second time in my life, we sent it back.
For a special, they had fish tacos. Or rather a whole piece of mahi mahi, and piles of out of the bag cabbage, guac, salsa, and plain black beans. Assemble yourself... But again, lacking any sort of flavor or thought. Food truck fish tacos make more sense. It was a DIY taco with nothing to bring it together. My wife got grilled salmon, which she liked but it only comes with arugula.
I apologize for being so negative but it's fair. For what's supposed to be a high end type restaurant they've really missed the mark. Not sure we'll be back.
