I can't say enough about this place! A beautifully decorated, high-class restaurant with top-notch, chef-prepared entrees. Pricing is reasonable for what you get! Great for memorable and special occasions! Try the Devil's Advocate, and let me know what you think!

We took a group of 12 and every single person was happy with their meal. They have a sports bar feel, but a dining room for families, too. This is not a fancy place, so don't worry about dressing up.

Tipps für Reisende
Verkehrsmittel
When going to the beach or walking to Pineapple Willy's:
When walking out of our condo take a right (away from the parking garage). There are two elevators (5&6) that will take you to the pool/beach area the fastest. The fastest way to PW, when you exit those elevators take the right hallway and exit through the dumpster area. When returning, that gate may be locked so you'll have to take the elevators in the parking garage (2&3).
Verkehrsmittel
There are 3 parallel roads available!
You don't have to take Front Beach everywhere. Middle Beach is less crowded, and there is always Back Beach/Hwy. 98, too.
Was einpacken?
Packing advice
Pack LESS CLOTHES THAN YOU THINK! There's a w/d in the condo. Leave room in the suitcase for souvenirs and clothes you'll want. Sunscreen, sunhats and sunglasses, house shoes, Britta water filter, small portable cooler, and ice packs. There is a Super Walmart within walking distance for any needed food and supplies.
