“ The food was average, at best. The service was good. The atmosphere is great. This small outdoor seating cafe has a great setting that is overlooking the beach and all the surfing action. We had the albacore tuna wonton share plate which was actually tuna poke. Very saucy and tuna poke was average quality. We also had the shrimp rolls. Again very saucy and too much bread and not enough shrimp. The drinks looked good and this is a great place for a beer in a setting that has a world class view ”
