Best atmosphere and ambiance in Tobacco Valley. Sometimes the food order is slow, 1 1/2 hours to get dinner, atleash the waitress warned us. But the best place to sit in awe at the surrounding bay. Pretty amazing.

What a great place for a concert. Lucas Nelson was amazing. Had some weather go through and made for an amazing sunset! Nice job staff for handling the power outage, the delay just made for more enjoyment of the scenery and social time! Look forward to coming back again!
