    Our favorite restaurant in Orange County. The minute you walk in and are greeted by Deborah you know you are in for a special evening. The atmosphere is beautiful with the open end dining facing the water. Small and intimate but open and airy. The food is fresh, well presented and delicious. My husband and I always order the little gem salad and share a fish entree. Perfect size entrees. The staff is always first rate. Enjoy❣️

    Our whole experience was outstanding. The host was gracious and friendly. Our food was delicious and perfectly prepared steak and salmon entrees. Dessert of sticky pudding was perfection. Most important of all was the outstanding and professional service exhibited by Shannon. She was the consummate waitperson. Kind, gracious, knowledgeable, and absolutely engaging, we were very impressed with her and appreciated her entree, appetizer and dessert suggestions. A perfect and enjoyable evening, thanks to the perfection personified service from Shannon. Can't wait to return soon.
