This restaurant never disappoints and now with the Christmas lights and tree and decorations it is enchanting. We took our 2 neighbors who had never been and they were overwhelmed. The food was great and the wine although a bit overpriced was delicious. Really a beautiful start to our Christmas season!

We are all pleasantly surprised that the Beachcomber wasn’t just beach food.. The cocktails were yummly and the food was delicious. We had the ahi nachos, lobster rolls & artichoke as appetizers. Main dishes included cioppino, short rib, ahi over zucchini spaghetti and shrimp linguine. The best was their dessert.. The brownie that had a huge toasted marshmallow on top.. So good and the beignets we also tasty. Potions for all foods were healthy. We will return during the day to enjoy the scenery.. Hearing the waves were just as great and relaxing.
