    Beautiful views of the coast. Service was friendly and quick. Items we had were very good --crab cake to split, mussels and halibut were delicious. That being said, the menu has been the same for a long time. I was told there would be changes, but not yet. They are supposed to offer more fish and pasta items and a bit more affordable. We shall see.

    We enjoyed Easter Brunch at Pacific’s Edge, the view is stunning. This is one of the best views around and I will go over and over for the view. The brunch was really good, I’m not a big buffet fan, but loved the chicken and waffles which I think was my favorite along with a Wellington-like salmon with veggies.

    Went here during lunch hour, 1:00 pm. I was super excited on experiencing this gem for my birthday. Unfortunately, it lacked in many areas, one being the service, second, the food itself, and third, how outdated the restaurant looked. The hostess was really friendly but just to get us seated took sometime. Seemed like there was only 1 server, 1 guy to pour water and that’s it, very slow service and not attentive. The menu needs some updating for sure. The food itself was mid and not memorable or tasty. I got the crab roll (pic attached) was nothing like it described, no roll or coleslaw. My mom got the seafood cioppino and she got a dry plate meaning a plate with only calamari and deep fried artichoke & shrimp, no sauce, no bread! The server also let us know no prime rib or beef was available as they were out of stock. I did however, enjoy the view, although due to some construction only a few 2 seater tables have the clear unobstructed view. In addition, even though I made a reservation and stated I was celebrating my bday; there was no acknowledgment nor treat. I did see other parties who had a treat with a candle brought out. Unfortunately this will be a one and done for me.

    Our waiter was very attentive, view is breath-taking. Food was like any other cafe, yogurt bowl was mostly granola, so my little one wouldn't eat it. I ended up eating it and yogurt was very minimal and watery. Fish tacos were a little too spicy foe my taste. The pancakes, my latte & calamari were great. Would go again just for the view, wouldn't crave the food.
