They let us sit with our puppy outside which was great! The CLAM CHOWDER was good, the MUSCLES were great and the sauce was good for dipping. Tacos were decent. Overall a good option after the beach!

I visited with my parents from the East Coast, and we had a wonderful time. The food was excellent, and being right by the beach made it perfect for a nice walk. The clam chowder and buffalo wings were especially delicious. Thank you for giving us such a great memory for our first trip to the West Coast.
