Went for a mid-week late lunch with niece and mother. Pretty empty, but it was 2pm. Cool decor, spacious tables and summer beach vibe. Good selection of salads and light lunch options, and simple but adequate kids menu. Service was casual and friendly. My mom liked that the tables weren't so close together and it had lots of natural light... More

When we walked in (around 7-8pm) there were families with kids at nearly every table. By the time we left a few hours later, it had morphed into more of a preppy-ish singles hangout for large groups.

It's odd to have a surfer themed restaurant on the Upper West Side. The food was good, but the drinks were very expensive...twelve dollars for a lemonade. Service was just adequate and the room is almost too bare making it very loud. It's an odd place--it doesn't really have any personality. I can't fault the food but the decor isn't... More
