We enjoyed brunch at World Famous. I had the lobster, shrimp and crab omelette and my husband had the California omelette. Both meals were absolutly delicious and the view of the ocean was another plus! Our server Shannon S. was such a sweet young lady, service with a smile and very friendly and attentive. She was the best! Our overall, our experience was spectacular! We will be back!

We had a great dinner here. Food was great as well as the service! For dinner they have a great menu mix of dinner entrees as well as casual sandwich-taco items. We have found making a reservation helps getting seated by ocean view.

Went there for my birthday. We ordered prime rib and a Cajun style shrimp. The wife love the shrimp! I was disappointed with the prime rib. It didn't taste freshly prepared which was also the case with the horseradish. I've eaten there many times with excellent results. I look forward to an improved experience!
