    This was my second time eating lunch and again was enjoyable. The food and staff is very good and the prices reasonable. There’s a lot to choose from and would satisfy any palate. I had the Greek salad which was a good portion for lunch & the salad dressing was flavorful. The tacos are also good. Would recommend at least having lunch here. Nice atmosphere & scenery as it located across from first beach.

    Super great experience! The food was amazing. Our server asked if I wanted them to make one of the cocktails into a mocktail for me (I'm super pregnant lol) and that was such a sweet gesture so I didn't feel as left out. Highly recommend to anyone who will listen.
