It's so yummy and convenient. We are a family of 5. They offered a menu with enough variety to make everyone happy. It was cost friendly. They have a gluten-free bun option, unique food options, and fresh made items. It's got indoor/ outdoor seating and is right off the highway and on the way to the beach. Our only complaint is that we don't live in California, so we can go back.

Place is cute and clean and the oat latté with extra shots was great! Went for breakfast on a weekday morning. It was busy but not crowded and we got a table right away. A couple leaving told us their breakfast was wonderful so we were hopeful. Sadly, our breakfasts ranged from terrible to just okay though they looked great. Eggs Benedict was awful—both the regular and gluten-free versions. The biggest disappointment was the Hollandaise sauce which is supposed to be made of butter, egg yolks and lemon juice. Theirs is obviously from a mix with ingredients unknown. It tasted terrible and I’d be seriously surprised if it was actually gluten free. It was slightly sweet as though it had sugar in it which is all wrong for this savory dish. The poached eggs were also weird and wrong in that instead of poaching in water with a little vinegar, they were poached in vinegar AND sugar water. The hash browns were also disappointing, with stew parts crispy, mostly white and mushy. My husband said his omelette was just okay with sausage that had the taste and texture of ground hamburger. The service was friendly but our waiter never came back after bring our food and the glass of water I had to request. Eventually we asked the busser for a check and another server brought it (our server was still on the floor—just busy with other tables).

Yum. We started with the mushroom appetizer and the roasted garlic. Both were served with an inviting presentation. The roasted garlic was more notable, tender, rich, and fun to eat. The mushroom dish was tasty... and something came with a particularly yummy dipping sauce... but I can't remember what it was, lol. The appetizers were followed by the charcuterie board, which was a real treat...a highlight. They made the board gluten-free for me, giving it an extra touch of special. It felt a little like Christmas morning, tasting across the board with curiosity and delight at each unique flavor. There were dried figs, two soft cheeses, a pate, sliced apples, dressed cucumbers, and more... and I am not doing it justice with my description. It really was delightful. I ordered the lamb chops for my entree. Be prepared for orafactory heaven. They melt into the most delectable savory sweetness in your mouth. Hubbie had the brisket and rib combo. Both were tender and flavorful. We ended with dessert. Mine was the creme Carmel, which could only have been better if they had lit it at the table. It was creamy, with the light crispy cap, sweet enough to savor every bite but not so sweet that I couldn't finish it. The only con of our dinner was our server, who seemed rushed, practically running away as he finished speaking. More than once, I wasn't able to speak or ask him a question because he ran off. The atmosphere was cozy with wood and warm colors. That said, it was a bit chilly...I never took my coat off. A plus about our servers' lack of attention was that we didn't have a sense of being rushed. We took our time with our meal and were able to relax and enjoy our experience at our pace.

Ordered the captains seafood platter and the Dungeness crab salad which didn’t disappoint. The fish platter could be prepared battered or poached in wine (which we chose because my gluten-free diet). The mix of halibut, rockfish, sole, shrimp, scallop, bay shrimp was great. The server was friendly and gave us recommendations for how to spend our last night in Trinidad.
