    A wonderful breakfast with an interesting take on Bloody Marys. And a beautiful view on top of it.

    We reserved a table for 8 on Friday evening but turned into a table of 10. They were so accommodating, we’re able to add a table for us. Food and service were fabulous - shout out to their clam chowder which we find the best in Capitola and the lobster ravioli! So delicious - just needed more bread to enjoy the abundant sauce :)

    Nice spot overlooking the beach and the ocean. We sat outside on the deck with a very nice view on a beautiful late summer afternoon. The very friendly service stood out.

    Great spot in Capitola! Good food, great service, and a great ocean view. Tucked around the corner, it's definitely worth a try!

    The Cajun shrimp boil with crab was mediocre, fish not fresh. Would not order food here again. Drinks were good especially Purple Rain. Beautiful view.
