on Citysearch Dec 04, 2008There was no wait this morning at 10 a.m., but now maybe I wish there were and I would have gone elsewhere to have breakfast. The employees are nice, especially a short, friendly, older latina who waited on my table. I... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 19, 2006Get there early on weekends, otherwise you'll be sitting out with dozens of other people waiting for a table. Not that the wait is that bad. You get a free view of the Pacific Ocean and plenty of room for kids to run... (more)
