Heather Squire
A fun, old school restaurant right on Pacific Beach. The service was great. The waitstaff were knowledgeable about the menu and able to help with selections for food restrictions. The drinks were perfect and they had a delicious vegan option, as well as, great fresh seafood options for our whole family. The prices were reasonable too. The tables were a bit unbalanced, but we were on an outside patio, so the ground may not have been level. It’s just kind of annoying to have a tippy table. 🙂

Love their menu. We had the lobster seafood omelet and lobster blt. Both were really really good. Bottle of champagne to go with our brunch was reasonably priced. Service was good as well. View of the beach and boardwalk were perfect when sitting outside. Will go back for sure.

The food was delicious and portions were huge. The service was great and the waitress (Emma) was very attentive as well! And of course, the beautiful view of the sunset is a great bonus!

New personal favorite. Great happy hour deals on apps. but they do ask you buy a drink which is reasonable for the deals they have that are different each day, great tasting Bloody Mary. Definitely try and reserve outdoor seating on the weekend for a great view of the beach.

Went early for BFast. Seated instantly. Prompt waitron. Deelish coffee. Deelish Bloody (rail gin not vodka). Incredible grub. I had the Cilaquiles. My wife had an omelet. We will go back. Saw lots of average food being served at nearby beachside restaurants on our walkabout. Glad we stopped here instead.

The Surf and Turf Bloody Mary was ok, nothing quite amazing. As for the food, the seafood omelette was mediocre and everyone that ordered the California Burrito at Brunch was thoroughly unimpressed. The location is great but the food is average at best (at least for brunch)

I came here about 4 yrs ago for dinner and haven’t forgotten how amazing the food was! While on our first trip back to Cali we made sure to stop here for a meal! This time we had breakfast and it was nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend!!
