this place is actually so pretty like the vibe is giving tropical fancy dinner 😭 like dim lighting, aesthetic plates, everything looks expensive. the food is really fresh especially the seafood, you can tell they take it serious fr. it’s not like heavy greasy food, it’s more clean but still flavorful. it’s kinda one of those places where you’re like okayyy this is a real dinner not just a quick bite. perfect for a birthday or date night. only thing is it’s def on the pricier side and portions aren’t huge, but that’s expected.

North Coast Road

●10.0

this is literally THAT meal like if you know you know 😭 the bake is soft and fluffy but a little crispy on the outside, and the shark is seasoned sooo well. once you start adding all the toppings and sauces (especially garlic + tamarind + pepper) it just goes crazy. the best part is eating it on the beach too like it just hits different with the view and the breeze. it’s messy but that’s how you know it’s good.

this place is actually sooo pretty like the view alone eats 😭 right on the water and it feels kinda fancy but still chill. the food is good but honestly you’re going more for the vibe than like insane flavors. everything is very aesthetic, very brunch-core, very “take pics first then eat.” the seafood and mediterranean stuff is solid, nothing bad at all, just not like mind-blowing. drinks are cute too. i’d go again for the view and the vibe, especially on a nice day 🌊✨

this was actually sooo good like the noodles were mad chewy in a good way and soaked up all the sauce. it had that spicy oily kick but not in an overwhelming way, just enough where you keep going back for more. the portion was big too so it felt worth it. only thing is it can get a little messy and oily at the bottom but that’s kinda the point. i’d def get it again 😭

The food is really flavorful and feels a little more elevated, with a mix of Asian-inspired dishes that actually stand out. The vibe is super nice—kind of aesthetic and perfect for going out with friends or taking pictures. It is a bit on the pricier side, but the portions and quality make it feel worth it. Overall, it’s a really good spot if you want something a little nicer but still fun.

The food is really good, especially their Korean comfort dishes like ramen and rice plates, and everything tastes super rich and flavorful. The vibe is cozy and chill, making it a nice spot to sit and eat with friends. It’s also pretty filling for the price, which makes it feel worth it. Overall, it’s a really solid spot that I’d definitely go back to.

201 Sunrise Hwy

●9.0

The tacos are really flavorful and different, with a mix of fun options that don’t feel basic, and the whole vibe is loud, trendy, and perfect for going out with friends. It feels more like a fun hangout spot than just a place to eat. The only downside is it can get a little hectic and the food isn’t super filling unless you order a lot, but overall it’s a really good, fun spot.

The eggs were perfectly cooked with runny yolks, and everything on the plate tasted really fresh and flavorful. The mix of mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, and greens made it feel balanced, and the toast was crispy and good quality. It was filling without being too heavy, and overall just really satisfying. Definitely worth it and I’d order it again.

The iced coffee was really good—it honestly reminded me of a rum punch with the way it comes in a pouch, which made it feel fun and different. The vibe is super cute, and Nikki, the barista, was so kind and welcoming—after my first visit, she even remembered my order the next day.

The drinks are actually really good—especially the matcha and iced coffee—and it’s super convenient if you just want something quick before school or work. The vibe is very trendy and cute, so it’s a nice spot to stop by with friends. The only downside is the food is kind of basic and not that filling, so it’s more of a snack than a real breakfast. Overall, it’s a go-to for drinks and quick bites, not a full meal.
