I would have given five stars if the sound was better. They have to keep it under 100 decibels for the neighbors apparently, and it's just not loud enough for a good band. The stage is awesome. Nice size dance floor. …

We were visiting from Florida & looking for a happy hour after walking Crystal Cove State Park. This place was great! Outdoor perfect weather, great service and food! The BBQ chicken pizza was amazing. I couldn't resist trying the oysters with them being a dollar apiece on this particular night. They were delicious!

Customer service is excellent and although its very busy, the vibe keeps you relaxed. The band did a great job last night playing a variety of music. A little something for the young and old crowd. I appreciate the hospitality shown. We came in from Houston but felt right at home.
