We had a lovely brunch on the beach. I loved sitting with my feet in the sand. I loved my fried polenta with eggs, spinach and mushrooms. The service was great! Parking was easy, we paid $6 for 2 hours at the adjacent beach parking lot. Vegetarian options: Veggie choices, delicious mushrooms and spinach with fried polenta and eggs.

The food in this place is amazing and great views if you manage to get a seat outside. We only got a seat indoors unfortunately and it was quite cold and drafty. We were only taking a short break here and only saw our waitress twice, once when taking our order and once to bring us the cheque. We tipped 10% which felt fair based on our experience but the waitress demanded to know the reason for this and made us feel really guilty for not leaving a minimum of 15%. It was a really awkward experience and would put me off ever returning. We are from the UK and understand the different culture in tipping but we felt that 10% was representative of our experience and find it unprofessional to be questioned on this. It was also the last day of our holiday in LA so we were quite disappointed.

A perfect date spot! The food is delicious. The fruit was perfectly ripe, the scones were delicious. We got the pasta papa and the California omelette. Sooo good. We ate outside and the view is lovely. A very chill vibe. Our server Jason was awesome, very attentive and friendly. He really brightened our morning and made us feel very welcome!

The server that works here is a douche. First time here and ordered at the front not knowing any better. Sat outside in the sand area and made me move to the inside even though there are plenty of empty sitting all because I didn't order with him. Essentially kicked me out because he's not going to get tipped even though I tipped the server at the front 20% it doesnt benefit him so I had to go.
