Great setting with amazing views, lively bar scene and friendly staff with some unfortunate setbacks in the dining experience. We were pleased with the setting and layout of the restaurant, but were disappointed in the menu overall. In addition, service was quite leisurely, so we regretted coming in hungry for a late lunch. Perhaps the west coast palate is programmed differently than those of us from the east side of the continent, but we were surprised to find the shrimp dumplings overpowered by a potent mustard and chili sauce, rather than the customary soy and ginger based one we usually encounter. And the fried oyster sandwich had an off taste which was quite distressing, though my wife was so hungry that she ate a good part of it prior to commenting to me that there was an odd taste. I also had a nasty stomach ache last night, though it may not be related to the oysters. The beet salad was better, but seemed to have a very thin gloppy burrata cheese topping, which was not up my alley. Though we are generally not very big complainers (for real!!), I did speak with a server who was helpful, and ultimately we were comped a draught beer, which I appreciated. However, the experience was not optimal, and we were excited about our visit to this city which is known for its sea food. So overall a very mixed experience, and I would probably suggest going elsewhere or being very careful with your selection.
