The only thing good about this place is the view. If you care to waste your money to see the view, then go for it, but the service is the worst I have had in many years. Completely incompetent staff, and management from bad food to lost reservations.\r

We made reservations for a 7:30 dinner on a Sunday, but since we were in the area earlier, we showed up at 6:00. We checked in with the hostess and said can we please be seated at your convenience earlier if possible. It was a Sunday evening and they didn't have anyone waiting at the hostess area at all, so I thought it should be no trouble, but we were prepared to take our reservation time of 7:30 if it was a problem, and told them so. \r

We asked to wait in the bar on the deck, so the hostess led us to the deck area where we ordered drinks and a couple appetizers. One odd thing was they made me carry this stand with a flag on it that was 18 inches high or so, and it had a big 17 on it so they could find us when our table was ready. That turned out to be a joke, since they said they couldn't find us. It wasn't busy at all, but it took 20 minutes to get our drinks, then over an hour to get our appetizers. The waiter told us he had lost our ticket, and had to ask us what we ordered. We got coconut shrimp that were way overcooked, but the sliders we got were pretty good. During our long wait, we checked in with the hostess two more times to make sure they knew we were still on the deck waiting. \r

At 7:30, which was the time of our original reservation, we once again checked in with the hostess for the third time. We were assured it would be very soon. It got to be 8:30, and they tried to sit us at a table with no view at all. We had requested a table with a view and you would think in all that time we waited they could have found a way to accommodate our request, but we were told that they had looked for us and couldn't find us. What??? We were on your deck in your bar and we checked in three times, and you couldn't find us? We had an 18 inch stand with a flag on it that had a big 17, and you couldn't find us? Completely incompetent staff, and the manager did nothing to make us happy. \r
\r
So we payed $90 for crap food and a couple weak drinks and we left without even getting dinner for which we planned on spending upwards of another $200 for our party of four. I still tipped 20% to my bar waiter, even though he was also terrible. Left dirty plates on our table for 45 minutes and never did clear them. He never took an interest in us waiting over 2 hours and not getting a table.\r
\r
Absolutely the worst Restaurant experience I have had in my memory. \r

We were visiting from the Bay Area, and this place would not last in San Francisco where they know how to treat guests or they go out of business, no matter what great view you have to offer.
