My favorite Thai restaurant and how lucky am I that it's a half a block away from my condo. You have to try their seafood pot with glass noodles. Yum ;-P

My all time favorite everyday healthy dining restaurant. My favorite two dishes are the Tuna Nicoise salad and Octopus salad. No really the octopus is tender and prepared just perfectly.

This is one of my favorite new restaurants. Amazing contemporary italian dishes. I love the grilled squid and octopus and the Barramundi fish is delicious. A bit on the pricey side but well worth it.

You must take a stroll down palisade park which run's along ocean avenue, start at Colorado and walk north. It's a great overlook above the beach, perfect for viewing California sunsets. A must see.
