Crystal Cove Breakfast is a popular restaurant located on the beach, known for its beautiful ocean views and historic setting. It can be challenging to secure reservations, but the wait is worth it for the top-notch service and delicious food. The menu features standout dishes like the tiny ahi taco, crab stack, mahi mani tacos, and lobster roll. The coffee is also highly recommended.
Visitors can enjoy a leisurely walk on the beach after their meal. The restaurant is praised for its charm, amazing food, and incredible views. Guests recommend making a reservation and arriving early to explore the area, including the new pier and the nearby shops. The clam chowder, bloody Marys, and roasted artichoke are popular starters, and the Brussels sprouts are a favorite shareable side. Even the desserts are worth trying.
While the food is generally excellent, one customer had an unsatisfactory experience with an overcooked and tasteless steak. Additionally, the restaurant did not recognize a birthday celebration as requested. However, the overall feedback remains positive, with the beautiful seaside setting and delightful service from the staff adding to the dining experience.
