Amazing breakfast. Bloody Mary’s, several flavors of mimosas. All of the eggs benedicts are the best you’ll have. There’s a bar upstairs and bar downstairs that are self-seating, so avoid the line and find a spot to eat quickly at one of those!

A hidden gem- tucked back in a gated community, but the restaurant is open to the public. Fun atmosphere, amazing food from their sandwiches to their entrees. Great for dinner or to go relax at the bar and have some great drinks. Definitely try the tuna bites.

The best dinner in OC. Crab cakes are the best around. All dishes are incredible. Drinks are delicious. View is gorgeous. A bit classier than most restaurants in OC, but still has a low-key beach vibe at the same time.

If you’ve never tried it, their Salad Pizza is a local favorite- it may not be on the menu. Just ask for it. Pizza, food and drinks are another local’s favorite.
