Everything was delightful, but the soup truly stood out; it wasn't your typical chunky lentil variety but rather a creamy, flavorful reduction reminiscent of what you’d find in a French bistro. We also indulged in some truffle fries, which were a must-have. On a subsequent visit, we tried the crispy shrimp appetizer, shrimp orecchiette, perfectly seared ahi, a thick Angus burger, and once again ordered the fried chicken. The wine pairings were excellent as well. Unfortunately, our food photos turned out poor because we forgot to snap them before devouring our meals. We highly recommend this restaurant; you won’t be disappointed!

The mushroom quesadillas were crispy and absolutely delicious. However, our server appeared to be quite new and mistakenly mixed up our orders. In response, the owner generously offered us a round of drinks on the house. The fish tacos, while generous in slaw and beets, ended up being overly soggy, and the fish itself was just average. On the other hand, the lobster tacos were fresh and well-balanced in flavor. We also received an excess of sour cream in the tuna guacamole we hadn’t ordered, and the tuna wasn’t to my liking. On the plus side, there was a great selection of local beers on tap and delightful jalapeño margaritas. With a little more training for the servers, the experience could be greatly improved, but the ocean air was simply lovely.

I would rate it three dollar signs based on the tacos and beer pricing. The staff was friendly, and the location is superb. While my partner had some concerns about the cleanliness and the locking mechanism in the bathroom, it still provided a very enjoyable four-star experience overall.
