before going to California for vacation I researched restaurants near the water and this came up, decided to make a reservation while still in Canada, when it was our reservation day I could tell just by walking into the building it was going to be awesome. That was an understatement, this place is amazing easy top 3 that I have ate at in Cali, and I've been to a lot of restaurants during all the years of going to Cali. By far the best service and sightings that you do not want to miss, I setup my phone for a timelapse and caught the entire sunset going down over the ocean, it was breathtaking. I highly highly recommend this place.

10/10 views here!! Highly recommend getting here around sunset, we had a reservation! The food is great but nothing out of this world. Still worth the hype because the views are just unmatched! The music they were playing was also SUCH a vibe, I loved it!

I love visiting this rooftop the sunset views are beautiful perfect place for a nice date or just hanging out with depends and family! The food is good too the service was quick at the bar and Joey was very friendly too I really enjoyed my stay this time around but I wish I took more pics. Be prepared to bring a jacket because it dies get cold up there, also the parking is situation is not so good it’ll take time to find a park as they do not have a valet or parking structure 🙄

Even with the clouds, overcast sky, and mist the vibe was great. Our server Jordan was a delight! All of the margaritas on our tree were delicious. The locals next to us were super friendly. I was appreciative of the elevator access to the rooftop.

I recently visited this restaurant and unfortunately had an uncomfortable experience. While I was waiting near the bar area, I overheard the bartender speaking negatively about a drink I had ordered and making comments about it being a “waste.” The comments were made after I had stepped away, but I was still within earshot in the waiting area next door.
As a customer, it’s disappointing to hear staff speak about guests that way. Everyone should feel welcome ordering whatever they like without feeling judged or talked about. I hope management can address this with their team to ensure customers are treated respectfully, even when they’re not standing right in front of the bar.
