The Beacon Grill - California

The music on Saturday was fantastic, though a bit too loud. We sat on the terrace, which had a lovely view. The Beacon burger was delicious but pricey. The fish and chips were overcooked and overpriced as well. It seems the higher prices were justified by the music and scenery. The service was excellent, even though the restaurant was busy.

The restaurant is in a fantastic location with a beautiful view. The menu offers some unique and creative dishes. However, the interior is quite rustic and has poor room acoustics making it hard to have a conversation when it's crowded. The prices are on the high side, with two of us spending $100 including drinks. The restrooms could use a makeover. Not related to the review, but we would have liked to see more dessert options on the menu. It was concerning that my stomach was upset after the meal, possibly indicating a hygiene issue with the salad.

We had a great time at this restaurant. Be sure to try their specialty rum. You can park your canoe or kayak on the beach. It can get busy, so expect a wait of 30 minutes to an hour, but you can grab drinks at the bar and enjoy live music outside (don't forget to tip the performer). I had the shrimp and grits and they were delicious, while my companion had the spinach and walnut salad and loved every bite. The prices are on the higher side at $22 per dish, but the ambiance makes it worth it.

From the car park types to check-in stand, barkeeper, wait staff, while on our table and our waiter charles everything was fantastic. my wife had fish and chips, pop had a first class rib dip sandwich and I had a rub sandwich. all were served very well and quickly. the place bounced with great live music.

Always a blast and never a bad time! Get there early for parking and even if the lot says full , it never hurts to ask to save you some time walking and hauling. Great live music and service! Love going every year and now I can buy the mix for when at home and it tastes great!
