This was the breakfast we were craving. They have very filling portions, good coffee, and my wife had a perfect mimosa. The patio has a nice quiet view of the bay. We would be regulars.

Food was excellent! Our server was the best. She let us know we could customize our breakfast to our liking. She was very friendly and attentive. We sat outside and it was a chilly but beautiful morning.

Incredible Crab Benedict. The whole menu looks great. The service was wonderful and we sat outside on Feb 21 in the warm sunshine. We had a very nice time, now walking out to the beach right out front.
