Mission Beach CafeNeighborhood GemA pleasant room that was a good fit for its environs, a menu with lots of things I wanted to try, and a cheerful and helpful staff. Plus a great selection of yummy pies for dessert. A very nice experience.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat find!We tried the Mission Beach Cafe as our dinner spot prior to attending an ACT production at the Armory. What a great find! The french fries were to die for - garlic fries toped with Parmesan cheese - amazing! The salmon was amazing. We both had it. The wine list was great and the dessert was really good too. They were out of the cherry pie, so we tried the berry pie a la mode. Really good. I think we will be returning.5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMI had heard a lot of greatI had heard a lot of great things of the brunch at Mission Beach Cafe and was surprised to see they also served Dinner.

The wine was very good as were the seasonal dishes. It was a bit of a splurge for me, but great for a special occasion.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMI got to introduce my nephewI got to introduce my nephew and my best friend to Mission Beach. Both loved our early dinner there! I had the chicken and my friend had the halibut--both great. Nephew had the veggies--always good. They shared the butterscotch/chocolate dessert: my chicken was so rich it was like dessert. The place was packed by the time we left, but there was absolutely no pressure for us to rush. We caught up with the friend who is now in Japan, following her career Navy son and his family.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMThere comes a time in everyThere comes a time in every man's life when he eats a burger so good he walks away knowing he could die tomorrow happy, having lived a full life. Okay, maybe a little stretch but that's how I felt after eating the burger for dinner at Mission Beach Cafe. I've had some great burgers in my day but none better than this one. Make sure you order it with the caramelized onions and sautéed mushrooms - you will not regret it! As if it couldn't get better than that - order the parmesan truffle fries on the side. One word: WOW! So good. Apple pie was extraordinary for dessert - very unique twist on apple pie and if you are a fan of apple pie...it's a must try. I was blown away by this place especially for the price.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMAnother fabulous meal, andAnother fabulous meal, and the deserts were to die for! Thank you!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMA Perfect Dining ExperienceI came in from Carson City for the week and it was the perfect meal for my friend and me. We split two salads (beet and asparagus) and the lamb pasta, with a Mabec for me and a Barbera for my friend. We also shared the goat cheese cheesecake, which was sooo good, quite light and unlike the usuaal consistency of a cheesecake. I also had the Flying Goat Cafe Mocha, which was possibly the best coffee drink I've ever had. Will definitely go again (soon I hope) and very highly recommend it.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMMission Beach Cafe is a gem.Mission Beach Cafe is a gem.
