We really enjoyed our brunch at this delightful nautical/surfing themed restaurant, tucked inside a hotel lobby just steps from the Pier. Friendly host. Very attentive service. Some menu items were standard breakfast fare but some more interesting & unique- all of it tasted great. We'll remember this for our next visit.
