A splurge- but it is right on the water and the food is good. They are kid friendly- and just know if you take kids, that you will be dragged down to the beach before or after to play. The chowder is relish!

Essentials

Our favorite grocery store- a nice alternative to Safeway, but a bit more down home than a whole foods. Excellent organic and local produce, cheeses, meats, wines...Great place to stock up if you want to cook- or just cheat and go to the deli/hot bar for a quick casual bite- great for kids (mine love it) Weekday Lunch and dinner specials. Get there early on Friday lunch, the high school kids grab all of the tri tip sandwiches!
