This is a really nice place to hang out during the summer and while the weather is good. Coming from a sunny country, with lots of coastline and having lived for many years in California as well, this place gives to me "some" of the same feel.
However, having said that, the restaurant itself it is extremely purely run. The service seems to be in a hurry (even when there are not many people really in the place). The menu has different details from what the chef is preparing (e.g., one item we order was supposed to come with potato salad based on the menu but it came with fries). We also heard people at the nearby tables complaining about their orders being mixed up.
With respect to the food it is nothing spectacular, but it is not bad as well. I would definitely like to try more things on their menu. I will certainly give it a try during the summer time for sure, but I think the owner needs to re-consider the management of this location because it could really be a gold mine!
