they serve a little bit of everything at Tommys from Sushi to Pizza (I know, sound gross). Their pizza is actually pretty good and the wings are very tasty. Its a good option for lunch if youre down by the beach

any of the restaurants on the beach in Pier Village are worth going to (for the view alone). Food is hit or miss but the location can be kind of cool if youre looking for night of dinner/ drinks etc. There is also a wine bar in Pier Village.
