A splurge- but it is right on the water and the food is good. They are kid friendly- and just know if you take kids, that you will be dragged down to the beach before or after to play. The chowder is relish!

Drinks & Nightlife

The OPL is about as big as nightlife gets around here. Live music on the weekends, and it also has the Silver Star Grill attached, which has great burgers, fish and chips and fish tacos.

Essentials

Our favorite grocery store- a nice alternative to Safeway, but a bit more down home than a whole foods. Excellent organic and local produce, cheeses, meats, wines...Great place to stock up if you want to cook- or just cheat and go to the deli/hot bar for a quick casual bite- great for kids (mine love it) Weekday Lunch and dinner specials. Get there early on Friday lunch, the high school kids grab all of the tri tip sandwiches!
