I love having breakfast or a latte on their patio—it’s also one of my favorite spots to meet clients. My personal favorite drink is their chai tea latte, creamy with a hint of spice. I often treat myself to one of their freshly baked scones or muffins paired with a cup of fruit. I recommend visiting Zinc for breakfast during the week, as weekends can get busy.
Just a short walk from Zinc, Rasta Taco is a favorite casual lunch spot. I love their outdoor seating and relaxing reggae music. After a day at Main Beach, my family and I often stop here. Their pineapple sangria and juicy al pastor tacos are refreshing and delicious—perfect after some sun and surf!
With over 100 restaurants to choose from, my husband and I often dine here for date nights. It’s also popular for moms’ night out. The flavorful Mexican and Southern Californian cuisine never disappoints, especially their fantastic margaritas like the spicy lover. My favorite dish is the Shrimp Diablo—a flavorful seafood treat.
My husband and I love dining here for date nights. Their menu offers unique starters like Spanish octopus, bone marrow, chicken livers, and foie gras. We’ve tried nearly every entrée and have never been disappointed—the Brussels sprouts side dish is a must!
Our children’s favorite special occasion restaurant. They love sitting on the balcony with warm blankets and enjoying stunning ocean views and breathtaking sunsets.
We usually start with the cheese and charcuterie board. For dinner, I order the filet and my husband the New York steak, both perfectly cooked. The kids enjoy their mac and cheese, but dessert is the highlight—they always get ice cream with sprinkles! Dining here with my family while watching the sunset is a truly special experience.
