I really liked the food here. We went on one of the rare warm days and managed to snag a table on the beach. Feet in the sand and all. It was somehow not as crowded as the places further along the beach even though it’s better! The service was slow but we were generally relaxed like everyone else around so it wasn’t a big deal. Tacos with spare rib meat were so yummy and nice portion sizes. We had to ask a few times for more bread—which was silly since they brought up this huge platter of dips and spreads with like three slices—but it always came and no one complained or charged us extra. I tried one of their cocktails and liked it, something with watermelon. Overall it was a nice day. My only complaint, which I obviously won’t dock the place for, was the hundred or so lady bugs flying around the table, on the umbrella, on our clothes and in the general area lol. Was my first time at that beach though, so maybe it’s a thing. Obviously not a big deal but still worth mentioning for anyone not too keen on bugs, even friendly ones :)

Quick, delicious, and super cute little restaurant right by the beach. My family and I stopped by here for Mother's Day. I saw that they had fish tacos, so that was what I had ordered. For me it was good, being originally from California where fish tacos are king, these somewhat hit the spot, the shell was a hard corn tortilla and the fish was grilled but not breaded, and it was topped with fresh Pico de Gallo of some type (fresh tomatoes, cilantro, and red onions) it was delicious. For the drink I ordered the mermaid something, I forget, but I will say it needed just a tad bit of sweetner, still I enjoyed it on the nice warm weather by the beach. The staff was great, busy as they had lots of places to sit, but they were all pretty friendly and spoke English. 😅 I'd probably come back and better more appropriate beach fashion like (as in swimsuit and all) *not that it was required.

Ordered the chefs special appetizer that was split between two of us. It was made up of different dishes. Most was good, nothing very memorable. We did not know what we were eating for the most part as the menu lists it as various anti pasta dishes and appetizers. Service was slow. It took awhile to get our drinks and they forgot to bring out the water we originally ordered. Ambiance is very nice. We got a table right next to the beach and had a great view of the ocean! Overall, cute spot to go to on the beach with decent food.

Likes: perfect location right at the beach, stunning seaview. There's an option to sit outside on the sand, great for a summer night. FOOD! Didn't expect the sea bass to be so perfectly cooked. The rich flavour of the fish and the creamy sauce, the best leek I've ever had. Dislikes: waiting time to get the menu (~15-20 mins), although the time to get the food after that wasn't long, so overall ok. Also my fork arrived unclean:(

Very nice service, very polite and helpful. We sat in the sun, but it wasn't really windy. Beer was delicious. Don't know about the food, but a sign said they use organic local products. Amazing ocean view whilst sitting on a bench with a little private fire place, what's not to like. The ashtray should have been something windproof. Will go there again.

I’d recommend this place for a drink and quick bite, but not for a more elaborate meal. I ate lunch here and all our dishes were pretty plain but the drinks were great. The service is okay, they’re friendly but slow. We also made a reservation but upon arriving, our table wasn’t set and they were still cleaning the place. Restrooms are not clean either.
