★★★★★ 5.0 Trygve Anderson · Nov 2025

We had a great lunch here. We had an outside table with a gentle breeze off the Atlantic and Amanda provided great service. We has the Shrimp Tacos and the Cuban Pork sandwich and both were very good. Nice spot for people watching as well while they go to and from the beach.

★★★★★ 5.0 John F. Sklavounos · Nov 2025

This is a cute place about 100' from the beach with a small bar and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The menu has options from sushi to American standards. My server was Amanda, she's very nice and quite professional. I chose a Ruben sandwich with slaw and a glass of Pinot Noir. I know that's a weird combination but the mood stuck me! LOL The slaw is very nice, it's crisp and not too mayo-ey. The Ruben is proportioned well, not overflowing, with just the right amount of thousand island. So far so good! Now it's time to try the Pinot Noir... and it was the right choice! Its flavor balanced against the strength of the Ruben. All in all, it's a worthwhile place to visit. I'd recommend you sit outside and people watch while enjoying your meal but if you like to watch the game, then

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Chris May · Mar 2026

This is a difficult review. Firstly the welcome and service from Hope was excellent. The food was at best ok. We ordered muscles and they were very tasty. However about 10 were closed and hadn’t opened during cooking, that is a red flag that should be picked up in the kitchen. The risk of food poisoning is very high from dead muscles. I raised it to the server and she immediately took them away and replaced them. I suppose my point is a chef should be checking the food is safe for the customers, some people would open them and eat them.

Great food, great service, the best location! I recently had reunion with my dearest friend! We sat eating lots of breakfast and coffee and Leslie, server extraordinaire, took great care of us! Refilled our coffee and didn’t rush us! In fact she said relax and enjoy! She is amazing!! The food is sooo good! Love the family, pet friendly vibe! I highly recommend!

★★★★★ 5.0 Maddison Englert · Mar 2026

Delicious food (do yourself a favor and get the New York tips as an appetizer or do the meal)! Joe was our waiter and was amazing. Service was quick considering it was a Saturday night and packed. Would happily come back!
