Restaurants near El Matador Beach

The Paradise Cove Beach Cafe is definitely worth a visit! Great variety of food choices - some interesting new takes on the good old American favorites. EXCEPTIONAL cocktails - super fun & exotic choices! Sadly no room for dessert - which looked mouthwatering. If I lived closer I'd be back again soon just for that. The outdoor 'beach' seating is spacious & fun; there is a covered patio area - also with a sandy bottom... but adds to the experience. Inside has regular banquet/table seating options. Definitely MAKE A RESERVATION! When you do you can check-in at a separate kiosk - & jump to the head of the always long line of hopefuls. Go & enjoy a fun, family meal - while the kid play on the beach.

It’s our tradition to start the new year with brunch at Geoffrey’s. Beautiful location, staff is very accommodating and the food is delicious. What more could we ask for?

Great service great food great view Valet parking is only $10 and there’s plenty of street parking if you get there early it’s one of my go to’s and I highly recommend it to you also!

The food the service in the ambience were nothing less than memorable. We had been here a year ago for the holidays and it was. The only unfortunate exception was the couple that was seated next to us midway through our meal. They were rude to the waitress, nasty, obnoxious, and loud - obviously drunk. Our waitress Kris couldn’t have been nicer and handled the situation professionally but I know she could see our displeasure. We live in Northern California, and purposely made reservations again for the holidays due to our prior visit. I’m not sure we will return again due to this experience.

Enjoyed everything about dining at Gravina. All the dishes we ordered were outstanding!
