1. The Duck Dive
Beachfront location with laid-back atmosphere and community events

Becca, our exceptional server, deserves a perfect 10! My dining experience at The Duck Dive was nothing short of amazing. The appetizers and main courses were simply perfect, and the location on Mission Blvd provided the ideal setting for some quality people-watching. I wholeheartedly recommend The Duck Dive to anyone looking for a memorable culinary adventure. While my visit was enjoyable, it didn't quite leave a lasting impression. Despite the appealing menu, I found myself torn between the breakfast burrito and the French toast sampler due to my voracious appetite. Yet, I left feeling that something was lacking in the overall dining experience.
