“Very good quality food for a concession stand style burger sandwich shop. Definitely a huge few steps above your average park/beach stand. Has outdoor chairs with umbrellas and a large playground for kids next to it. Ball fields, tennis courts, the manager is kind and professional. Real bathrooms with running water not a beach cafe by any means! They offer kids meals with whole wheat bread, hummus for vegetarians, avocado to add to sandwiches. The fries are good. Ice cream for kids. Nice family friendly place.Kid-friendliness: Anything for kids here! Whole wheat bread options. Great place and playground and fields on site.“

“We walked in early on a Saturday evening to see if they had a table for 4 (after the restaurant we had originally booked looked grim...) and were immediately greeted with warmth and professionalism. They offered to create a 4 top for us in a quiet corner and whisked us to the table. The service and food that followed were both terrific. A great lesson in hospitality. Make people feel welcome and feed them terrific, straight forward food with attentive but not overbearing service and reasonable prices!“

“Great food. The appetizers were delicious. We had fried calamari with chorizos in a tomato based sauce that hit all the right notes. The ceviche was smooth, light, and delightful. We brought our own wine. One of the bottles cork broke and the manager was kind enough to remove the broken cork and put the wine in a decanter. Main courses were delicious and the churros and tres leches dessert were out of this world!.“

“3.2.24 I would have given this visit a 5, but unfortunately, although my breakfast burrito tasted great, I didn't get it until 25-35 minutes AFTER all my friends got their dishes and finished eating. I have no idea what happened. The waiter apologized and brought our table one cookie to share, to make me feel better. But it was quite uncomfortable to sit there, watch my friends eat, waiting for what was a simple order and seeing 3 other tables get their food. But besides that, the venue has a great ambiance. The baked goods look amazing, and the coffee was served hot and in a huge mug. So all positives there. I'm sure my experience was just a one-off. And no, they didn't take anything 'off' my bill. And that's ok. I'm not one of those people who expects that.“
