Fabulous beachside spot

by LesleyBalla_Citysearch at Citysearch

Ok, this is the kind of place you seek out because you want to sit on the beach, look at the ocean, or kids in the sand, or fishermen on the pier. The food is good, not really, really good, but satisfying. I had an over-sauced, crab-stuffed piece of halibut, that was tasty, but just missing perfection. My boyfriend's salmon baked in parchment was very flavorful. The desserts lacked oomph (actually, the cake we had was store bought and too sweet). The drinks are fantastic. Probably a great spot for an afternoon snack and cocktail. Very crowded with every type of person imaginable. If it's a cool day or night, ask to sit by the enourmous fireplace out on the patio. Very fun. Glad we found it.

  • Pros: great patio, on the beach
  • Cons: hit or miss food
