Excellent Food

Bar type food, very good. I had a pita bread plate with lot's of yummy veggie's, hummus and toasty warm pita bread. Lots of pita bread, most places give you lot's of hummus but skimp on the Pita. Hubby had a burger and handmade fries....Nice quality meat. PS - my photo is a little nasty as I forgot to take a photo prior to starting in on it! It was Yummy!More

Trying out a different place - okay food.

We tried this out in late afternoon after walking the beach. Fast service and okay chowder. We must have missed any specials as everything was full price. Only had chowder and draft beer, but it was good.

Delightful Happy Hour Menu

Great happy hour prices. Nice fresh and affordable oyster shooters. They were small and only $1.50, I could have eaten about 6 more, they were great.

Friendly service, Good calimari

Love that they have iced water outside their door for dogs! Our waitress was delightful and the calimari was great. Not so keen on the hummus buried under raw veggies - but the flatbread was warm and goodMore

What happened

So I eat here alot but last night was horrible. Out with my kids and a friend. We got our drinks I asked for a straw it took 15 minutes. When ordered our food it took about 45 minutes and when it came my chips...were old and burger was burned. My kids fries were cold and dry and burgers were cold. And also portions were small like a kids order. Our server only asked if it was ok as she walked by but never stopped. I live in Seaside I have never been treated like that by anyone and my food has never been bad.More
