Walking along and found this cute area and decided to have a drink. The hostess informed that they would be closing soon but could accommodate for drinks. She sat us and brought menus. Another table was sat after us and we continued to wait. The waitress came by and dropped off waters and as soon as they touched the table she turned and went directly to the other table that had just sat.

Another 5 min went by as she talked to the table and when she finished she turned and headed back up the stairs. I said excuse me to get her attention and she just said “back in a minute”.

I’m not quite sure what was so important that we couldn’t just give a drink order. So we just decided to leave. There was no personality, no friendliness, just a potential transaction.

The hostess was sweet, accommodating and warm.. the waitress.. none of the above. A place that could’ve been a cute spot to enjoy a beverage now seemed bitter like her attitude. I hope next time she treats all her patrons equally.

As we were leaving and walking up the steps my husband told her we would make it easy for her and go somewhere else and again her charming attitude was displayed in a look of contempt as we left.

Next time, be like the hostess..

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
First time here and we will definitely be back! The food was absolutely delicious, but what really made our experience outstanding was the service. Our waitress, Caitlin, was beyond amazing—attentive, friendly, and truly a pleasure. She was on point with everything and made us feel so welcome. Honestly, I’ve never had such excellent service anywhere. Thank you, Caitlin, for making our first visit such a memorable one!

Fun beach atmosphere. We had a group of 8 and were seated pretty quickly. Wish they had reservations, but wouldn’t stop me from eating here.

Wonderful breakfast with a beach side view. It was a Monday therefore there was no wait, there was a view with toward the ocean available. Breakfast was delightful. Ordered the crab Benedict with overeasy eggs with the hatch chili gravy. Delicious 🤤😋

DELICIOUS CHILAQUILES, very authentic and a tad on the spicy side. the wait was only 15-20 minutes on a Sunday which was awesome. this is a prime area also being right by the beach!!! you can’t go wrong with any menu item because my whole family got amazing meals. the only downside is they don’t offer a good variety for children, i wish they offered more with the kids plates because one order of French toast was $11 with no side of egg or protein like bacon or sausage. i didn’t see an option either to add a side of that for extra which should be displayed if available. super authentic brunch spot with amazing decor very home style on the inside. i would come back any time i’m in the valley.
