I love the vibe here! Food is delicious, staff is fun and the decor is delightful. Challenge yourself to eat (yes I said eat) the big bloody mary. That's a journey in itself.

Came here after a long drive from Arizona, was walking around San Clemente and found this little place. The place was nice and cosy, owner was super nice to us, offered us all (group of 5) free drinks. The food was good, wish the skewers had a little more meat on them, burger was amazing, their fries were so good too. Overall, Id recommend this place for a lighter dinner if you don’t want to feel like a pig after eating.

Please have your cook wear gloves while cooking. Seeing him touch all the food and mix a salad with bare hands grossed me out. He also dropped the cutting board on the floor, placed it back on the counter and continued to prep food on it ?. Cleanliness is a must in the food industry!

The food was great, and the staff is too nice and generous.

Visiting from Madison, Wisconsin. Our bartenders were so nice, attentive, and made good drinks! She Made sure I kept hydrated too. Wisconsin will definitely be back again!

Fun place with great staff and drinks. Be sure to grab some skewers too...Tasty!

Awesome service and great food. Thanks again.

Well priced great food. Always have a great time.

Went here for a football Sunday morning game, and ending up staying through the evening game. The location offers a full bar with plenty of craft beers on draft, and mixed drinks. Bar tenders were two lovely ladies who knew what they were doing with lots of experience - major props to Franky. Thanks for the nice time and taking care of your customers; it seemed like everyone was having a great time all day!

Great place! Come see the owner Hooman, great guy!
