Food was very good, and unique. We had a few dishes which we had never experienced and they were all very tasty. The amount of food was very large but we finished it all. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and most of the staff, including the manager, made it a point to stop over and wish us a Happy Anniversary. Our waitress, Oksano, was a delight and was very knowledgeable of each dish and how they were prepared. It was too breezy to sit out on the deck but it does provide a beautiful view of the ocean. A nice touch was the complimentary valet parking for anything under 4 hours. It was a wonderful anniversary experience.
