Kind of expensive but the food looks great, smells amazing, the pastries look great. They have a balcony you can eat on with the ocean view . 4 stars.

Henrik Johansson

The patio in the back always has empty tables since people can't see from the front that it exists. Nice spot to sit outside and watch the beach .

Joe Langner

Great place for b-fast. Nice deck in the back and good views of main beach , Eggs Benedict with potatoes , and Huevos Rancheros are both really good

Mahi mahi was delicious! Friendly service and nice view was a great addition. We were lucky to see dolphins:)

Michael Figueroa

They have an outside balcony that caters to couples... View is great... Food is ok...Their waiters tend to drown in a cup of water...(they forget) the bakery is bomb... But it there for the beachfront

Rachel Rebecca

Service is unfriendly, unhelpful, and lacking. The trout with mashed potatoes was decent. The trout was crispy and mashed potatoes were creamy. Napoleon was creamy, delicious, flaky, and Flavorful.

John Grainger

Food is really good the service can be spotty especially on holidays and weekends!

They do some really tasty fresh baguettes and have a lovely little bakery in the front of the restaurant . They have a pretty low quality food otherwise. Read more
