My favorite restaurant while in town. Everything I have tried so far has been delicious. Love the view and to watch the sunset from the restaurant. Also a great bar area even if you just want to have drinks and appetizers and watch a game. Looking forward to also trying their Persian Kabab soon as I have heard it’s delicious.

I thoroughly enjoyed the clam chowder and the Caesar salad. All the staff members I interacted with were very polite, kind and helpful.

Cruised by this one HWY 1 and turned around to see what it's about! This beautiful place offers BEAUTIFUL views of the bay/ocean while you wine and dine. And it opens at 5, so depending on your arrival and wait time, you can watch the sun touch the water, and go away to hide til tomorrow while you eat! The food, the Fish and Cips are excellent! They do have pan seared scallops and locally sourced beef for burgers and steak options! Locally sourced wine and beer selections as well! Ask for Garrett as your waiter, he knows the good stuff both on the menu, and the places to see if you're a tourist enjoying your way through the area!

Delicious clam chowder that is packed full of clam and other ingredients. Delicious raspberry margarita. The raspberry sorbet is a great dessert and they serve it with a biscotti cookie and the server mentioned it's fun to crumble up and pour on it like a crust. Would definitely come here again and the staff was on top of quickly serving and providing food/drinks! The view from the restaurant is also amazing, so a very nice experience.

Yesterday, my partner and I had dinner ant Vue’s Kitchen. We sat next to the window and had an incredible view. Our waiter, Rusty told us about the specials for the day. He was very polite and respectful. I got the halibut and my partner had ribs. The food was plated beautifully, fresh and the flavor was AMAZING! Even the calamari was delicious!! And that sauce... WOW!! We decided on the cheesecake for dessert and it was just enough to satisfy our palette. It was smooth, silky, not too sweet and very enjoyable. Our experience overall was AWESOME!

Overall solid experience—much better for fish/meat eaters of the group than vegetarians. I had a good martini and meatballs, but not thrilled. Everyone else (non-vegetarian) was blown away by their meals. Gorgeous views from almost every seat of the restaurant and nice outdoor seating too. Lovely service. Overall very well rounded menu. Just can’t speak too too positively for the vegetarian experience.

We came rather late on a Thursday night after being turned away at a different restaurant and the staff was so polite and accommodating. The atmosphere was fancy, warm and cozy but kid friendly as we brought our seven month old baby and no one seemed to mind. The food was incredible, we all finished our plates and they offered me a birthday dessert but we were just too full and satisfied for more. Thank you so much. One of my best meals and we came all the way from Boston.

Great view, great service, great food! This is a great place to get lunch or have a fancy dinner. I highly suggest getting the clam chowder. The fish and chips was also good.
