I stopped here to get clam chowder and fish and chips. Given its location I had somewhat high expectations of the chowder, however it didn't have a lot of flavor, the texture was off and was probably the most I had paid for a bowl of chowder anywhere. Additionally, the fish and chips were also underwhelming. Nothing was bad, but I've paid a lot less for much better at multiple spots up and down the ca coast.
Beautiful location for an outdoor lunch! The upper deck was filled with sunshine and incredible views. Our server was fun and very informative, helping us make a few amazing choices. The Ahi Tuna app was incredible!

Very nice place. Good food, good views, good service. Close to the harbor and beach. Our table had a great view of the lighthouse! Staff said upstairs was bar and grill area (better for adults). Indoor and outdoor seating. Bathrooms are a bit tight but clean. They give a free coupon for soft serve at the beach market next door to our kid with his kids menu. Parking was $2 for our time there.
We would come again if we are passing by for another...
