Outdoor seating was nice, there are several overhead heaters. They have a great variety of items on their menu. Our server was very attentive. It sits right on the beach.enjoy.

Having an early dinner en pleine aire near the beach was a treat especially during these COVID-19 times so the location itself is fabulous. Also it’s great that’s the patio seating and service extends to the Flats pizza joint next door (take-out menu sharing). The rating I give this is based on my roots. If I wasn’t from Hawai’i I might have rated the poke salad higher. Generous portion, check. But the tuna was more cooked than seared. The calamari could have been crisper but I realize they need to serve it in the take-away container that keeps moisture in the box. The full service bar was a treat —beer on tap and accommodating to my special request for a Mezcal mule.

This is a $10 salad… And the blogense was very very watery. There are better places in Aptos.

Food was pretty tasty, service left us disappointed. Our waitress was a little rough around the edges and in a hurry which didn’t feel good. Beautiful view of the ocean and live music when we first arrived. The Ahi Tuna was delicious! My prawns were ho hum. The crack cauliflower is definitely worth it too. Oh, and don’t forget to try the homemade mud pie for dessert- scrumptious with the best chocolate toffee!

My wife and I shared a ceviche and grilled calamari. We sat on the patio with our pet dog and enjoyed the view. The service was friendly and efficient. Oh, and the coconut cheesecake was absolutely delicious.

I think our server was stoned or on valium. Just okay food and over priced. I ordered the special which was something like tilapia with panko crust. But was soaked in amounts of butter. We asked for some of bread, but that cost $5 extra. My boyfriend had the pasta and clams and it was flavorless. Had a martini that was more like a shot…didn’t meet the brim of the tiny glass.

After a day at the beach we decided to head over for some food at 4pm. Online and there signage states they open at 3pm. We were seated quickly and informed the only entrees available are burgers until 5pm. We ended up grabbing a few appetizers to subside our hunger and went elsewhere for our meals. Food was decent, but overpriced.

Short version: It was just so dissappointing. Food was bad, service even worse.
