Historical spot with amazing views from the dog friendly patio . Food on the patio is fried and heavy, not sure about the inside which is a separate menu. Can't go wrong with the great drinks!

Gus

This place is a hidden gem ! The views are spectacular and the food is “esquisita”! Mahi mahi is delicious!

Sandra Cifo

Manila clams in wine , butter, garlic and parsley sauce with garlic bread . So good you’ll dip away until there is none!

Sandra Cifo

The yellow fin tuna sandwich with ginger is delicious. Stuffed salmon , great lemonade . Service is still excellent!

The place to be if you're in the area. Excellent seafood in a very cozy location.

Deborah G

Sit on the back patio area ... Fire pits , blankets and great views of the Pacific Ocean. The burgers are juicy and delicious! Get it cut in half, ithe 1/2 lb goodness on bun is a handful.

Rebecca Elliott

There is a dog friendly patio with seating and fire pits . Separate kitchen services the patio with a limited menu. Excellent place on a warmer beach day

The Distillery Burger paired with garlic fries are a perfect match and easily shared by two. Total $17.50

Amazing. Really relaxed atmosphere . Great food but limited menu

Jen R

Come here on a foggy day and sit by the fire with a blanket. The best place to be with an incredible view !

Mason Wong

A la carte burger ($15) was surprisingly good, big portion (easily feeds two average appetites or one huge appetite), better meat flavor and value than Jack's Prime in San Mateo.

Alyssa Bereznak

they very awesomely provide blankets for anyone who wants to drink outside and watch the sunset

Kate Freeman

Sit outside-- there are fire pits , blankets, benches and a great ocean view . Order drinks inside at the bar .

WhiskyAvenger

It’s not really a distillery , just a restaurant with a really nice view .

Odd Pryc

Gin Splash is a great way to start off with your first free drink with check-in. They don't hold back on the liquor . 

Jay Holler

Awesome place to dine and watch the sunset . The staff is wonderful and the food is excellent!

Nick Wade

Come prepared with beanies and scarves. Make no mistake, when the sun goes down the back patio gets cold. However, there's also 2 firepits & thick blankets provided and frankly it's killer for sunsets

Salvador Aguilar

The clam chowder is good, but must of the other food is ... not as good as the chowder . Is a good place to stay at the bar

Kim Barry

Chowder ! Virgin Mary! Cram Cakes ! View ! Service!

The Crab & Avocado Quesadillas are expensive at $25, BUT THEY'RE AWESOME!!! And, the back patio is pet friendly .

The burger does come with fries , so no need to get a side order of fries as well .
