If you want nice views and a good vibe this is the spot to be. It is oceanfront so watching the sunset from here is incredible. Very loud.  Food is all really good and have a variety of different options etc. hummus, pizza, pasta, salads etc. Always busy so you need a reservation.

Great thai food and Michelin rated. Its a very lowkey place in terms that its located in a strip mall and its not a fancy place. Prices are very reasonable.

This is not a restaurant but it might as well be. Their hot bar food is so delicious and they have so many items that I always am craving. The prices are also restaurant prices as a meal will cost you about $30.
