Pub with elevated grub. Endless, delicious local brews. The chefs use local ingredients and put their own twist on the offerings. Get there early. It’s gets crowded and locals gobble up the favorites. We order the soft pretzel with jalapeño cheese dip and the spicy chicken sandwhich, unless the daily special tempts us.

The views and huge outdoor fire pits, watching the sea creatures splashing below and killer sunsets! Seafood and American eats. Eat indoors for an elevated, white tablecloth experience or sit outback, on the cliffs with the pups, their humans and mostly self service bar bites. We like Tempera artichoke hearts, calamari, Kahlúa pork tacos and sliders outside. We do seafood and pasta inside. $$-$$$.
