Menu is pretty basic, but food is good and portions are huge. Pair with a margarita too. Expect it to be busy, since options in Aptos are limited.

Check out the dahlia garden behind the restaurant while waiting for a table, it's where the flowers for the tables are grown!

Fantastic food, usually quiet atmosphere at lunch anyway. Did most of my media meetings here back in the day.

I've been going to here for well over 20 years. It is as great now as it was then. The Killer Quesadilla with the marinated steak is my favorite! The Mollies Margarita is another favorite of mine. :) - Kathleen Shelfer

One dollar off well drinks during happy hour Monday through Friday and one dollar off domestic beers as well. The felt on the table is new as of 2014. It's smooth and makes balls roll fast. - Athonia Cappelli

The visitor center at Seacliff State Beach is worth a quick stop. They have a little pool where the kids can touch starfish, anemones, etc. Sometimes you can make kites there too. - Rachelle C
