Went here for dinner with my family. The food was fresh and filling. I got grilled fish and ate every bit of it. We also got several appetizers - a couple kinds of poke and the crab dip. All were good sized portions and fantastic. I also got a coconut drink that was very refreshing. We got to talk to the person that I believe was the owner and he was very friendly and accommodating. He gave us recommendations before we ordered and ensured we had everything we needed. It was dark when we went so I didn't get to see much of the water feature near the patio, but I could hear the bullfrogs and they had great music for the atmosphere. The place is off the beaten path and hidden in the valley, at least that's how it seemed to me as a tourist getting driven there at night, but I thoroughly enjoyed everything about the place and highly recommend it!

So this place doesn’t offer reservations... I know it get quite busy quite fast... so we decided to be there before it opens, which is supposed to be at 4:30. We arrived at 4:15 and there was already a tremendous amount of people here, some already seated... if I would have known they seated before 4:30 I would have arrived sooner. After waiting in a huge line, I was able to put my name on the list for an hour and a half wait. So all together about 2 and 1/2 hours of waiting even though I showed up 15 min before they open. The food was good and the view gorgeous I just don’t see it being worth over a 2 hour wait. I would come back if the restaurant would offer reservations. Even if I had to make them 4 weeks in advance.

The 2 hour wait was worth every minute. The food was delicious. My wife had the sirloin and it was cooked perfectly to her desire (medium), it was juicy, tender, and flavorful. I had the grilled fish, which was marlin. It was not dried out, the pesto and lobster sauce was amazing on the fish. Our drinks were tasty and we were extremely happy when we left. We'll be coming back again!

Started with wonderful seafood chowder. Got the Marlin, firm, mild, with delicious sauce, excellent garlic mashed potatoes. Finished with Paradise Pie, nothing fancy, yet, again, delicious. Prices seem high, but portions are generous (insanely so with the prime rib 3 lbs serving) and quality is awesome. Beautiful grounds. Worth the drive.
