Great casual place to dine or get a few drinks. Servers are friendly and will check you guys every now and then. Indoor and outdoor seatings are available.Their mahi mahi is fresh and not frozen. Sauteed vegies are well seasoned. Calamari tastes good too.

Visit this small in the cut nice restaurant customer service was great. Food was great. But I tell you the company I had was not great. There was a young waitress there who seems to be struggling although she has a job. If you feeling more than generous I will tip her more than generous. She goes out her way to make sure that your evening is a really good one her service is impeccable.

We love Shwack, we can walk here and the food is reasonably priced and tasty. What more can you ask for? I thought it would have a different menu than Shwack in Dana Point, but it is similar with some extras added like the Brisket Sandwich, Shrimp Tacos and a few other
