    Choose the outside Balcony if it is sunny and beautiful outside. It overlooks the Camp Pendleton Marina, which is beautiful and very therapeutic.

    The service was awesome. Our waitress I believe her name was Clarita or something like that was awesome. We went with our kids ages six three and one and her and the rest of the staff was just amzing

    Skip the banana dessert and get the bread pudding or the sea turtle, unless you really want bananas and ice cream.

    Make sure you check your bank statements...the waitress here added a $25 tip for herself on top of the $12 I left her on a $60 bill. It wasnt an error she wrote my card down and charged it 3hrs later.

    This place is total shit. The employees all suck and they are slow as fuck. Plus the place smells like an old ladies vag. They can suck my balls.
