Great place to stop by after a day at the beach . Tasty food, decently priced, and a gorgeous view . Crab sandwich was more than filling!

Fried zucchini , sourdough bread (which means all the sandwiches are incredible as well ).

Restaurant is clean . Right by the ocean. Good service . I ordered the ciopinno and the sauce was vinigery. Not worth $17. But overall it was decent.
