Because the drinks were incredibly priced. Come to JJ's if you want to cool place to hang out with some good local folks with an unpretentious, fun vibe.

Teehee) The place is decently-sized and pretty clean; it's not too crowded; and it has a few TV screens playing sports games so the vibe was very light and lively. There was a pool table, though no one was playing it at the time I was there. The lighting was perfect for a bar (not bright like a hospital and not divey-dark). My gin and tonic was perfectly-made. It's a great local hangout bar.

We had a very good meal and absolutely outstanding service which earned Cafe Cruz a solid 4-star…read morerating. I had the spicy Devil's Ginger vodka martini with the calamari appetizer and with dinner, the Lava Top Sauvignon Blanc ($13), a perfect complement to the swordfish. My swordfish was perfectly sautéed in a tapenade beurre blanc sauce ($40) with deliciously creamy and decadent polenta and buttery chopped bok choy. The way they served the bok choy was perfect- never change it. It was artsy, buttery and didn't look wilted. My son had the grilled boneless pork chops (two boneless chops) with fries and smoky beans ($28), loved. He devoured the berry fruit crisp à la mode for dessert ($12) and I had two small bites: It was like granola over compote with ice cream. I didn't complain. The best part was the incredibly flawless service. We could have felt rushed dining since it was towards the end of service. Instead, Genevieve paced the meal perfectly so we felt spoiled and unrushed. Next visit I would love to dine in their "secret garden" courtyard; it was beautiful. Their 'secret garden' would be beautiful for a private party like a birthday or wedding anniversary, bridal or baby shower.

This bar is a no frills bar that has pool, lots of seating, and just a chill atmosphere where regulars go for a drink... or four. Haha. I don't come here often, but when I do, I usually see familiar faces. The location is sweet too: it's next to the best Mexican restaurant, across from one of the best ice cream stores, and by the beach! What more can you ask for? Oh, and because it's a no frills bar, you don't have to pay for the fancy schmancy extras! Thus, the prices are decent here! The only slightly small downside is you have to have patience because it may take a few minutes to get your drinks because most likely there is only 1 bartender for the entire place.

Even though it was a quick visit for a quick drink and a bite the service, serene interiors and ambiance and stellar service made it an wholesome experience. We ordered pimms Lemonade and another cocktail on their menu along with the pretzels to go along and absolutely fell in love with my drink, it brought back memories from my summers in UK when we used to lounge around in the backyard enjoying pimms with friends all day long. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be back again!

It brings me no pleasure in saying that this pizza was nearly flavorless…read more The staff seemed very friendly, but I have to be honest and say it was among the most boring pizza experiences I've ever had. Because they were friendly, I wish them well. I also wish they'd learn how to make a pizza with some flavor. There was no seasoning at all. I tasted no garlic. No salt. No pepper. The sauce was lifeless. The cheese was bland. The crust was tough. Not crispy (as advertised), but tough. Almost like a balsa wood. I really don't like writing negative reviews. But I will write one like this in the hope that those nice people will learn a little bit about the craft of making a quality pizza. Do your homework. Add some seasoning to your sauce. Pizza should have a little bit of Italian pizzaz, and your pie doesn't come close. It didn't today, anyway.
