    What a wonderful surprise!!! I would definitely return to this area for some of Paloma's delicious…read moreofferings. We came here for breakfast specifically and my favorite item ended up not being a standard breakfast food. LOL We were greeted when we walked in and were told we could choose our seats. There were a lot of options on a Sunday at 9am suprisingly in July. They give you menus and then you order at the counter and they give you a table flag number for the server to know where to deliver your food. I ordered a La Croix sparkling beverage, the All American breakfast and a side of chicharrones (crunchy pork belly bites). My friend ordered French Toast and churros. I loved my food a lot. Everything was perfectly cooked. The toast was fine...nothin special. The star of the show for me...Chicharrones!!! Wow, they were spectacular and it was a great serving so I could bring some home to my husband. They are very very rich, so a little goes a long way. i was hoping to have a side of rice with it, unfortunately they do not sell the rice separately. Only comes in the burritto. Bummer The French toast was interesting. It was not "sweet" and the little dish of "cream" or topping wasn't overly sweet either. The churros - FANTASTIC! definitely loved those. The prices are super reasonable. Staff checked in on us a few times. Super nice. I will definitely return, even if it's just for the chicharrones. Plenty of parking nearby

    There's something telling about a place the moment you walk in, and here, it isn't subtle. You're…read moremet with the lingering scent of beer soaked into the floor from nights that were clearly busier than anyone could properly manage. Now, most people would interpret that as neglect. But that's not quite right. It's evidence. Evidence that this is a place that has been tested, repeatedly, and continues to operate under pressure. And strangely enough, that inspires a certain confidence. You know, almost immediately, the drinks are going to be done properly. I ordered something simple. chicken fingers with buffalo sauce and bleu cheese. Nothing remarkable, and that's precisely the point. They weren't trying to reinvent anything. They were just... competent. And competence, especially in an environment that borders on chaos, is not trivial. It's reliability. It's order, holding its ground. The service reflected that same tension. Reese, the bartender, was clearly under strain. busy to the point where most people would start to fracture, but she didn't. She held the line. And if you've spent enough time in this industry, you know that's not easy to do. There's something almost admirable about watching someone maintain composure when everything around them is loud, demanding, and slightly out of control. And that's really the essence of the place. It's loud... almost aggressively so. Packed. Borderline unruly. At one point, there was a couple engaged in what was clearly a volatile argument... infidelity, perhaps? but the noise swallowed the details. It didn't matter. The specifics were irrelevant. What you were witnessing was raw human behavior, unfiltered, playing out in real time. And oddly enough, it fit perfectly. This is not a place for quiet reflection or carefully structured conversation. It's a place where order and chaos collide and neither one fully wins. But if you're the kind of person who can tolerate that, or even enjoy it... there's something undeniably compelling about it. If you want quiet, look elsewhere. But if you're willing to step into something louder, messier, and far more alive, then this place offers exactly that. It's not refined. It's not restrained. It's something closer to a modern day bacchanal. And for better or worse, that's the point.

    We stopped into the legendary Brunswick for something quick to eat before we headed onto the beach…read more The service was slow and left something to be desired, it got better. The Caprese appetizer was insanely good. The haddock fingers were excellent. The ambiance is what pushes it over the top. Although the band was not that great, the beachfront atmosphere and set up was perfect and everyone got up there and danced.

Very dark, no baileys. They were left on the table because they sucked and were undrinkable. Order an Apple martini and asked the clueless waitress to ask the bartender to swap the measurements in the drink to have more apple puckers and less vodka. Drink was delivered and was clear with minimal puckers. We mentioned it to our waitress and she says.......Oh, let me get you a shot of puckers. And charged us for it. If she listened in the first place, it would have been perfect. If she didn't know what I meant, she should have asked someone on your staff or if she told an experienced bartender what I ordered, it would have been correct on the first try. And to boot, a lime wedge as a garnish, REALLY. As a bartender myself, the fact that these bartenders don't even have a clue about what garnish goes with what drinks is an insult to other professional bartenders. I do understand that maybe they don't get many orders for an Appletini, but they should be hired by their ability to perform their job, not the shape of their ass or the size of their tits. Extremely disappointed and will be sure to not go back again next year when I am in OOB. Well, that's if this place makes it through this season.
