Great place to stop by after a day at the beach. Tasty food, decently priced, and a gorgeous view. Crab sandwich was more than filling!

Fried zucchini, sourdough bread (which means all the sandwiches are incredible as well).

Restaurant is clean. Right by the ocean. Good service. I ordered the ciopinno and the sauce was vinigery. Not worth $17. But overall it was decent.
