Very attentive. They do know how to offer you all the extras on the menu! Be ware! The food was just okay. Lots of butter, or cream or salt. Chowder was too heavy for my taste. Caesar salad had sub par lettuce and very little cheese. Steak was tender and flavorful ... it again lots of butter and in veggies.
Service was great! We had views of Santa Cruz wharf and at a distance was the boardwalk. The burger and garden scramble with bacon were really good. Great way to start the day by the beach!
Went in last night with the wife and kids and it seemed really busy due to the World Series being on. The hostess at the front of the restaurant was really accommodating with giving us an estimate on a wait, and offering outdoor seating as an alternative. We opted to wait for a few minutes because it was a little cold outside. We had a nice chat with the hostess and she was able to seat us even quicker than estimated. Service was good and friendly. Our waiter was very nice. Food...
