We stayed at the Pacific Terrace Hotel and this was in walking distance. We ended up eating here twice because the service was so great and the food was good. It is very family-friendly. The location on the beach cannot be beat! The views are amazing + all the people watching. We will be back! more

This one is on the Strand at 4325 Ocean Blvd. We had a great view of the beach from our table on the second floor. The waiter was efficient and helpful. My grilled fish sandwich had a generous piece of Mahi-mahi and was very good. The fries were crisp and tasty. more

One night we decided to order a carry out because we wanted some clam chowder and could not find another rest that had it. Their carry out... more

Fun atmosphere, but poor service at bar. Female bartender gave us little attention; when we asked for the check, she thought a napkin on the bar was the check, then gave us the check, then took it back and replaced it because she had forgotten to add the drinks; when served appetizers by a blond female manager the small plates... more
