However, I was puzzled by the line to get in, especially since there were many empty tables available. The staff at the pier were not allowing people to enter despite telling them they had tables open.

Due to Covid restrictions, the number of people allowed on the pier at once was limited, so lines are very long to get in. Food was okay and the shops were a nice change from the big beach stores everywhere.

You can see people surfing on both sides, and the pier offers a great vantage point to watch them up close. It's a lovely spot to grab a bite to eat while taking in the fantastic views.

I didn't bring them because I wasn't sure how far I'd have to carry everything but it was totally doable.

Not too many shops or restaurants but we found a small convenience store across the street with a small gift shop and cold drinks.

The restaurants serve excellent meals and drinks at reasonable prices. This place is a must-visit on your travel itinerary.

It was just me and my wife but I would not our children if we came with them. The server was friendly but definitely pushing alcohol drinks and wasn?t overly happy when we wanted food. No complaints on him just felt like the environment was a quick turn around on tables and mostly a drinking crowd. The food was good too meh at best. Crabs were over cooked and for the love of god don?t get the aloha chicken unless you like burnt to a crisp chicken tasting like a fart sandwich. Whatever macaroni it?s topped with is absolutely divine though. Calamari was on point and drinks were tasty. Not pricy but not cheap because it?s not McDonald?s. Will probably go again but never getting that chicken sandwich again!

Had Shrimp and Crab dip with imitation crab, and boneless wings (really just chicken chunks) dripping in garlic parmesan sauce. Not wings the way you are used to.

The employee then called security to have us removed just for addressing his unprofessional behavior towards us and his coworkers. As a result, we missed our timeshare open house and our tickets to the space center, all because of this inconsiderate individual. Even the security personnel were taken aback by the situation and suggested that we report it to corporate, which we are currently doing. If this person is still employed there, I would advise other customers to be cautious!

The staff is mostly well-trained, with a few exceptions. I've been a regular since before it was acquired by a corporation, and while some of its original charm has diminished, the service here is still noticeably better than at many other bars. Most of the food options, however, aren’t worth the price, as they mainly consist of frozen items targeted at tourists coming to or from cruises. In summary, with its breathtaking view, high-quality drinks, and friendly, capable staff, it's definitely a place you should check out. Just a heads up: the Google Maps location is wrong; it's actually situated on the pier rather than at its base.

However, the main drawback is the steep prices considering what you receive. If you decide to visit, I highly recommend trying the chowder fries!
