Fabulous for a special dinner (including large group dinner) or lunch. Japanese fare and really excellent fish dishes and sushi. Don’t like eating things that swim? No problem! Get the incredible spare ribs....yum! Enjoy the murals on the walls… you might see familiar murals in our very own kitchen!

In the mood to be healthy? This IS the place! It’s mostly vegetarian fare, but everything on the menu is made in house and tastes great. If you’re lucky they’ll be offering their lentil burgers or baked tofu dish. Excellent coffee/espresso too and good desserts.

Drinks & Nightlife
Not to be missed for casual drinks, lunch or dinner. Located right on the boardwalk with indoor and outdoor dining. We love the Langosta Enchilada and Blood Orange Margaritas. If there’s too long of a wait at Langosta, go next door to Pop’s Garage for some good Mexican food (same owners).
