We absolutely love this place. We sometimes park near the bottom of this road to ride bikes or jog, and you can see the yellow umbrellas from the boardwalk. It has been on our radar for some time. Early Saturday morning, we finally made it there. The view is stunning from any of the tables. There was a 20 min wait to be right at the edge, but we took a table by the fountain and still had an amazing ocean view. The fountain is a work of modern art with water finding its way out of the twisted metal sculpture in a peaceful, yet industrial, way. My wife got the large bloody mary which came with 4 big pieces of bacon and was well-crafted and delicious. I had the blueberry whiskey and it was a little sweet for me, but I usually opt for whiskey and soda water, so I'm sure it's really good to most people, just not me. She got the Smoked Salmon Benedict, which was beautifully presented and tasty as well. I had the Country Breakfast. It was hearty, and even though the ingredients were simple, you could taste the quality. It's worth mentioning that the potatoes were fried and crisped to perfection, and smashed whole potatoes. Very different and delicious take on the home fry staple of American food. Even the iced tea here seemed somehow elevated. This place definitely lived up to the hype. The museum it is connected to is well kept and worth a walk through as well.
