Excellent food in the most perfect location. Sat outside overlooking the beach just a few feet away. I had the 1994 chicken sandwich and it was the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. My wife had the grilled fish tacos and they were equally spectacular. Great place and I can’t wait to return.

Food was very good, service was prompt. There were only 2 other tables at 7pm, so that was a bit jarring; I'll be back though.

Outstanding service! Sat on patio and enjoyed a great dinner with a friend. We both had the tacos-her grilled sea bass, mine crispy cod, plus an appetizer of chips/guac. Way better services and portions here compared to the Sunnyvale location. 10/10 would recommend.
