Tammy&#39;s super nice. Gave a local discount without me even asking. The loaded fries are killer. Good spot to chill outside, plenty of parking.

Came here after the beach. Draft beers were ice cold and hit the spot. The pasta was solid, and the vibe is fun with a few chickens roaming around. It did get packed, but they gave a good wait time estimate.

Cozy spot with nice wood interior. The tropical sangria was really good. The sesame seared hamachi was the standout though &mdash; reminded me of some top-tier crudo I&#39;ve had. Just a solid, tasty bite.

The combo plate is huge, we couldn&#39;t finish it! Got to try a little of everything, which was nice. Definitely a sharing situation, or you&#39;ll be taking half of it home.

Perfect for a quick lunch. Grabbed the classic L&amp;L plate, solid BBQ as always. Ate outside, good spot for people-watching in the middle of town. Got me in and out fast.

The view over the pool is lovely. It&#39;s a quiet, elegant spot. I had the salmon, which was cooked nicely. The service was friendly and not rushed, which made for a very relaxed evening.

Been coming here for years. The seafood pasta special today had mussels, clams, fish, and shrimp in a red sauce. It was really good, like always. They don&#39;t always advertise the specials, so it&#39;s good to ask.

Been coming here for years. They&#39;ve got a separate menu for allergies, which is a lifesaver for my wife. The vegan dishes are solid, not just an afterthought. Makes it easy when we&#39;re picking a spot.

The waitress was really proud of the food, you could tell. She explained the specials with genuine enthusiasm. It&#39;s that kind of family-run vibe where they care.

That ahi burrito was the move. So fresh, and the flavors just popped. Grabbed it from the counter and ate outside under the covered patio. Simple and solid.

The live music was a nice touch, not too loud so you could still chat. Sat at the bar and the whole place just had a really relaxed, cozy feel.

The live music in the afternoon was a nice touch. Had a drink there after a meeting, it was a good spot to decompress. The music wasn&#39;t too loud, just right for some quiet time.

The open seating area is spacious, which is nice. But honestly, I&#39;m just here for the food. The grilled octopus appetizer had a perfect char and was incredibly tender. That&#39;s what I&#39;ll remember.

The whiskey list here is huge, like 350+ bottles from everywhere. Just reading through it was a cool little adventure. Didn&#39;t splurge on the super rare stuff, but it&#39;s fun to look.

Live music in the evenings is a nice touch. It fits the beachside setting well, makes for a pleasant background while you eat. Adds a bit of a festive feel without being too loud.

The outdoor seating is lovely. I had a really nice mocktail, you could taste the fresh mint and cucumber. It was light and refreshing, perfect for a relaxed afternoon. The server was very kind.

Walk-up counter with that old-school vibe. Signed t-shirts on the wall are cool. Food came out super fast even with a line. Solid burger and fries.

Solid pool bar spot for a hotel. Food was actually good, not the usual letdown. Cristina was great, super friendly and on top of things. Made the whole vibe easy.

The portions are huge, so we shared. Their house red was a solid, easy-drinking choice with the meal.
