Great location and views. Food is simple yet delicious reminiscent of a French bistro. The patio has heaters to keep you warm live music was a special treat. Wine selection was excellent. Great place to people watch and enjoy a lunch or dinner.

Amazing atmosphere, food, and service. Excellent location on the beach at Avila. Our waitress was top notch, friendly, funny, and knew her stuff. She hustled her butt off. She even convinced my wife to try escargot! It was our anniversary, and she and management took care of us. Definitely will be back!

Salmon salad was ok, how about a little more than a tablespoon full. Wife and sister said onion soup was good.

Can only give 5 stars but wish I could give more! From the ocean views and comfortable bistro-style seating to the excellent food and the lovely staff, this place is ! We loved everything we ordered and the staff was very knowledgeable of the menu and wine list which we appreciated. French cuisine in an ocean view setting = perfection!

Wow. We were lucky enough to have Angela as our server who made our anniversary night perfect as was the food. From the support staff to the owner this is a first class place. And the food was amazing too. Loved watching the sunset as enjoying an amazing meal. A must go place.

Lovely outdoor table at Avila Beach and friendly service but food substandard. Pasta was very dry – we asked for olive oil and none was brought. Chicken on Caesar salad was also dry like it was left over from lunch. Very disappointing for price. We have been there many times for lunch and it was wonderful. Won’t be back for dinner and definitely won’t bring clients here

Great vegan choices, including the avocado tartine. The daily special dessert was vegan the day I visited, a brownie a la mode. Both were very tasty! Nice outdoor patio with an ocean view. The staff is friendly and helpful too.

Had lunch here/3 couples. Nice French brunch menu. Four people got the salad with a nice piece of salmon on it and two of us got the ham cheese mushroom veggie omelette that came with potatoes and a side salad. All were excellent and reasonably priced for being right on the boardwalk. Had a nice view of the sea. Interesting wine list. Friendly servers and since we were in a rush they got our orders out nice and quick. Would love to have dinner there at sunset!

We stopped in twice over the course of our stay in Avila Beach and both times Angie gave us a phenomenal experience. She is beyond knowledgeable and accommodating, friendly and kind. We were so tickled that she felt comfortable enough to tell us she needed a day off on our first visit and then was willing to share how wonderful her time off was when we saw her on our second visit. She deserves all the time off she can get! Thank you for a wonderful experience, not once, but twice! We’ll see you next year, Angie.
