Fodor's Review:

The specialty of this midprice casual restaurant with bay views is local seafood—grilled, broiled, or blackened—but the menu also includes grilled steaks, such as New York strip, and several pasta dishes, making it popular with mainstream diners, including locals. Entrées change frequently, but favorites have included Cantonese-style shrimp with snow peas, baby corn, and shiitake mushrooms. Dine inside or on the expansive deck, popular for lunch and a sunset view over the bay. The jets dipping down over the bay on their final approach are just far enough away to avoid a noise problem. Don't be in a rush at peak meal times when service often grinds to a halt.
