The Mai Tai was solid, but the Old Fashioned really stood out. Perfectly balanced, with a great rye backbone. It&rsquo;s the kind of drink that makes you want to settle in for the evening. We&rsquo;ll definitely be back for that one.

I was so happy to see a bunch of veggie and vegan choices on the menu! Got the falafel wrap and it was really good - everything tasted super fresh. Perfect for grabbing a quick, tasty bite with friends.

Nice spot for dinner. The outdoor patio has a pretty view of the hills and orange trees, especially at sunset. Food was decent. It did get a bit chilly outside later on, so maybe bring a jacket.

The birria tacos are the real deal here. The consomm&eacute; has a deep, slow-cooked flavor, and the beef is incredibly tender. Just the right amount of greasy. The corn tortillas hold up perfectly. That&#39;s all I come for.

The pollo limone here is something else. The chicken was so tender, and that lemon sauce had the perfect tang. I just kept going back for more, couldn&#39;t put my fork down.

The French toast plate was huge, especially for the price. I ended up with leftovers for lunch the next day. A solid choice if you&#39;re hungry.

The 50/50 clam chowder is a great idea. You get the creamy New England and the lighter Veracruz in one bowl. It&#39;s packed with clams, really hearty. A bit on the pricey side, but it&#39;s a solid portion.

The garlic naan with the tikka masala is a solid choice. The curry had good flavor without being too spicy. The lassi was a nice, creamy drink to go with it. A pretty good meal overall.

The spicy margarita is a must. Perfectly balanced heat with the tequila, and the presentation is a showstopper. Great spot by the beach.

I was skeptical about the vegan burger, but the buckwheat bun was a nice touch. The server suggested a local IPA to cut through the richness, and it worked. A solid choice for a casual bite.

Been grabbing their fish and chips forever. The batter is just so light and crispy every single time, never greasy. It&#39;s exactly what you want from a classic spot like this.

The seasonal bread was warm and fresh, which was a nice start. It came with a decent olive oil dip. The rest of the meal was fine, though the bread was probably the highlight.

Huge tri-tip sandwich for lunch. My husband loved it, says it&#39;s his new favorite. Got it to go, was ready super fast. Perfect for a quick, filling bite.

The mango lassi was solid, but the real star was the Indian iced coffee. Perfectly spiced, not too sweet. It was the right note to finish with after a rich curry.
