Food was so good and fresh. Great location just off the 101 and so close to the beach for after meal walk. Peaceful ambience.

Dined at their restaurant. Great food, great location - right off the beach. I had clam chowder and sea food pasta, both were excellent.

Amazing food! They only have one double queen room with a balcony and ocean view so if you book this room arrive early.

We were staying at cavalier oceanfront resort and got to visit this restaurant. Our server was really amazing and a happy guy. We really liked the food as well. We ordered the French fries, chicken fettuccine Alfredo and buffalo chicken. Everything was delicious.

My husband and I were here visiting the area for the first time on our anniversary. We didn't stay at the hotel as we weren't aware there was one. We did try their restaurant which was SUPERB! We had breakfast there. My husband chose the chicken fried steak and eggs and hashbrowns. I chose the Denver omelet with country potatoes. Everything was portioned just right. The chicken fried steak had just the right crispyness and so did the potatoes, both styles. My omelet had big pieces of smoked ham and grilled bell peppers. All of it was absolutely delicious while in a clean and calming atmosphere. It was busy and we can see why. Its also family friendly. We are definitely planning on coming back again as we want to try their dinner and their clam chowder as well.

I live nearby and stop in once in a while for some take out. Got a Hearst Burger for my dog and a grilled salmon salad for me - both excellent (my pooch would give it six stars ). Forgot my phone at the counter and there it was with the smiling cashier when I returned 3 hours later. Hallelujah!
