Lovely place, beautiful on the water. We had a great waitress and food was amazing. I had chicken salad which tasted awesome. The bar chips on top i could do without. My husband had Mahi tacos and onion rings that tasted great. The bar drinks were good. We will be back.

Great oceanfront restaurant with an old west feel. We were lucky enough to get a table right next to the beach. Ordered the “sampler” appetizer and 6 beers for the 3 of us….
