    Nothing like being able to sit down after hours of shopping and enjoy a good meal with a great view, that won’t break the bank. We dine and order from here frequently and have always enjoyed the experience. Make sure to make a reservation if you want to come in during the high traffic hours.

    Love the view of the ocean from the window seat. The food is good, you can't really complain about the all you can bread and salad. The lunch specials I thought were kind of small at first but ended up being just right. The service was ok. Servers and hostesses people just looked tired. It's the holidays, I don't know if they are just over worked so I understand. It won't prevent me from coming back.
