Want to take a drive to the coast for some ready good food? Just north of Half Moon Bay, it will take you about 30 minutes to get there but it's well worth it! There's indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the Pacific. Nice wine list and great seafood. They also have non-seafood as well. They are known for their lobster rolls and clam chowder. They also have live music so check their website for the latest.
