Food Scene

Broken Yolk, is a favorite of locals & hungry style visitors alike. Breakfast is served all day long, but if you are hungry and craving a juicy half pound burger with fries this is the place. My favorite is the signature salad or street tacos. Best time to go for Breakfast is all day & always fresh. I usually find coupons in the local magazines for $2.00 OFF THEBROKENYOLKCAFE.COM 6 AM - 3 PM - Daily

Drinks & Nightlife

JRDN Dining has the most memorable meals prepared by Chef DJ Tangalin who is dedicated to his craft of quality & passion for providing nature as the star of his dishes. JRDN is fresh, cool, clean & upbeat West Coast Hip with a dramatic setting sun in the Pacific Ocean as it's back drop. You will view the ocean while indoor/ outdoor venue and enjoy breakfast/brunch/dinner or view of the ocean while sipping hand crafted cocktails. My all time favorite is Wednesday Night's Sip into Summer Beverage Series at 6 PM on the Tower Deck and catch the Sunset for $25.00 per ticket for the Beverage Series. In addition pairing this with the Seafood Platter 3 Oysters, 3 Shrimp & 1/4 lb of King Crab. (This is an extra cost, and worth it!) It is all about the magnetic ambiance.
