Delightful French restaurant with an good happy hour. The Happy hour menu is limited but worth it. The shining star are the steam burgers which are like an elevated white castle burger beloved my East Coasters. Another must have are the garlic fries. Their bar is small but they have an excellent selection of liqueurs and mixers making it possible to have a good variety of craft cocktails. I need to return for a dinner to truly experience the full meal deal, but Canard is cool. Check out my profile for more great eateries and craft cocktail bars. ✌🏼

Such a great place to chill on the beach. I'm surprised that some people who have lived here for years aren't familiar with it. Parking is challenging during peak times. There's two lots. One next to the park and an upper lot near the train tracks. There's nothing else close. The satellite view on Google maps shows a walking path from The Cove restaurant to the beach. I'm not sure if there's a gate. Check out my profile for more great eateries and craft cocktail bars. ✌🏼

Coral Club is a great example of a what a tiki bar should be. The food is good. The decor is perfect and they take pride in the cocktails they serve. In fact, I've had a few respected mixologists recommend Coral Club to me. I started with a Mai Thai since that is the iconic tiki drink. I was taken aback when it came in sort of rocks glass with crushed ice. I rarely order them, but they usually come in a tall glass with cubes. I don't care for crushed ice. But then I remembered back in the day being served a Mai Thai served this way at the famous tiki bar, Trader Vic's in The Beverly Hilton. I appreciated the history, so I rolled with it...but it wasn't my jam. For a follow up I had the Smith & Scotch but on a king cube in a rocks glass. That was a fantastic drink for my palate. They have an impressive rum list. Next time I might just explore sipping some rums neat. We started with the chips and salsa, which is pineapple-shishito based. It was decent...but too mild for me. I ordered the Kalua pig sliders. My daughter enjoyed the Spam musubi. Street parking only. Check out my profile for more great eateries and craft cocktail bars. ✌🏼

A nice restaurant that we had breakfast at. We both ordered the ham and cheese omelette. It was a good and comes with massive salad and some bread. We had lovely lattes as well. I like that they had San Pallegrino and Tabasco. Our waiter was kind. Check out my profile for more great eateries and cocktail bars.
