Love stopping by for their hand-dipped ice cream bars in summer. The dark chocolate shell was a great match for the raspberry sorbet inside&mdash;just the right balance. Watching them dip it fresh is half the fun. A bit messy to eat, but that&#39;s part of the charm.

The breakfast options here are so creative, I had a hard time choosing. Went with the lemon-ricotta pancakes and they were light and fluffy. The coffee had a nice hazelnut flavor too. A solid start to the morning at the beach.

Solid comfort food, and the live music was a nice touch. The outdoor fire pits are perfect for a chill evening. Their house red was a surprisingly good match for the hearty dishes. Basement karaoke was a hoot, even for us non-singers.

Walked in off the strip. No wait, which was nice. That lobster roll had so much meat spilling out, and the price was fair.

Cozy little spot, the sushi was delicious. Service was attentive, they kept my water glass full without me asking. Made for a very relaxed dinner.

Love the vibe here. It&#39;s cozy and unpretentious, just a really comfortable place to unwind. The lighting is warm and the tables aren&#39;t crammed together. A solid neighborhood spot.

The thin crust pizza here is spot on. Toppings are flavorful and the cheese pull is perfect. 👍 Had a small mix-up with our order, but they made it right.

Came in for a quick lunch. The Prudential sandwich on tomato basil bagel was solid, especially toasted. Garlic cream cheese worked well. Cinnamon roll was a nice finish. Good for the price and speed.

The cafe was packed when we went, but the staff kept things moving. Got our food pretty quick. Nice for a relaxed weekend brunch.

The volcano roll here is my go-to. Fresh sushi, and they&#39;re quick even when it&#39;s packed.

Cool little speakeasy spot. Music was just right, not too loud. Had a couple drinks and hung out with a friend. The vibe is definitely the main thing here.

The queso and chips were a solid start. The portions are large and the atmosphere is nice.

That maple bacon donut was a fun surprise for breakfast! Never thought those flavors would work so well together. The sweet glaze with the salty, crispy bacon bits totally won me over.
