“What struck me most was the dedication to service; the small, handwritten notes reflect a genuine care that's increasingly rare. Its location allows for easy exploration on foot, a real advantage in this area. The buffet evokes familiar comfort, and with the beach so walkable, it's a solid, grounded choice.”
