WE sat outside and had an excellent, attentive kind server! Zucchini chips were awesome, my friend had a chicken pasta bowl that she really liked. My salmon portion size was really small, it surprised me and it was not very flavorful, my vegetables were very pretty how they were cut but they were so mushy I couldn't eat them.

Veggie tacos were good and decent price but the meat and seafood items seemed overpriced but in full disclosure I did not order them. Service was great and the place is gorgeous. However, the music was this awful fake pop music (re-recorded pop songs, so not by original artists) and there were commercials that played in between some songs as well. It was very distracting and given the price point of the restaurant, off-putting.
