    We are staying at the Cavalier resort and walked over for breakfast. Lots of glass and views. Staff friendly and attentive. Coffee was luke warm and not very tasty. Come on. Is it that hard to have good coffee? I had eggs and a sirloin patty. it came with toast and I had hash browns. Delicious!!! The wife had eggs and bacon with hash browns and toast. Nice way to start the day. The views are awesome.

    Stayed at the cavalier oceanfront resort for the weekend and tried out their restaurant for dinner and breakfast! No wait time got seated pretty quick and the food was good too and they have a variety of food options. I do not recommend the fresh cinnamon toast though it tasted burnt. Chipotle pasta was also like a 5/10, too saucy. I loved the french toast so so gooood. The drinks are also not as good but are drinkable lol. But its worth a visit if your staying nearby!

    The server was so nice letting us test the wine before we ordered a bottle of their fantastic Paso Robles Cabernet! My fish and chips were delicious with a very thin crispy crust. My friend loved her salad! The ocean views are amazing! The wait was short for a busy Saturday night and we drank our wine slowly and really had a great time.

    Braised Short Ribs . Delicious

    The food was delicious and they provide a great service, big portions at good price. Very clean and with partial view from the ocean. Right next to the hotel makes it very convenient.

    Coffee with a side of ocean in the background

    The last morning of our trip, we decided to stick to a simple diner experience that was close enough to the ocean that it kind of had a view. I appreciated the down to earth atmosphere and it was honestly the most affordable meal we had the whole time we were in town. It's slightly better than basic diner food as my eggs Benedict held their own and are not usually at most diners. My spouse had the breakfast sandwich and enjoyed his food as well. This is the part where I say something to the effect of "so good I forgot to take pictures." We did enjoy the meal, but the real reason I didn't take pictures is because I was tired and hungry. The service was prompt and friendly as well. Tl;dr: Better than average food but not mind blowing, and pretty good prices. Also a slight ocean view.

    BBQ burger with pulled pork $22. Yum!!

    A great location next to hotels and ocean. The staff was very friendly. I had a burger with pulled pork on a charcoal bun. Bun just tasted like a regular bun. Friend got a salmon burger. All our food was so good.

    Charcuterie appetizer
    Roy O.

    The Cavelier's menu has many desirable items on their menu. We started with the appetizer and the entree. This included the Charcuterie plate, braised beef, beef stroganoff, and fish 'm chips. The braised beef ($38) was delicious while the stroganoff ($30) and fish ($22) were ok but was under whelming. The server seemed to question our decisuon not to have soup or salad or a cocktail. I got the impression other paeties may tend to go for the full course. The water fillers were very attentive and polite. They were students working a job. The feed back iss for the multtiple water fillers limit the amount of water glass contact to minize a hygene risk. My disappointment started with the appetizer and didn't improve during the meal. The description of the Charcuterie plate ($19) sounded very appealing, but it was not worth it. There was too much substitution of cheaper products for olives, Crostini, nuts (which were slvered almonds) which deflated the enjoyment from this plate.

    Chicken Chipotle Pasta with Garlic Bread 10/10
    Cinderella M.

    The food was Incredible... 10/10, kuddos to the Chef! The woman hostess & woman server were prompt & professional, both very kind... 10/10. The Ambiance would have been Amazing, but sadly I have to rate it 0/10, for an overall 3 out of 5 stars. The Cavalier would have scored 5 stars had the racist old white man with a ponytail hadn't been there! His racist comments to the chef turned my stomach, I couldn't eat I was so mad & I took my food to go. The racist ponytail man was so loud the entire restaurant could hear him as he belittled the cooks using racists comments. He kept saying racist analogies like "Do you even understand the difference between me asking you and telling you?" "We're on the same team, we're homies." "Do you understand, just like soccer, we're the same team." "I don't care what you have to say, you listen to me!" The kind older Hostess went in there to quiet him down, the minute she walked away he was back at the cooks window harassing him about the night's "special." I was truly saddened for the Chef and left him a tip for a job well done. I will only return in the future if the Rascist ponytail man isn't there.... screw him. People like him is what's wrong with the world & will definitely cost this lovely establishment it's customers.

    Grilled Salmon Salad, Chicken Strips and fries, Fish and Chips

    Our first time here. We were greeted by staff and they were very friendly. We came here during lunch hour, so everything we ordered is from the lunch menu. We ordered the chicken strips and fries (kids menu), fish and chips, charcuterie plate, and grilled salmon salad. Chicken strips were on the salty side. Even though we got this for our picky toddler, I still taste everything. The fries were regular crinkle cut fries which you can't go wrong with. The fish in the fish and chips were very bland and oily, but crispy. The fries were also regular crinkle cut fries. I did like the coleslaw and the tartar sauce. The grilled salmon salad was mediocre. Nothing special about this dish. The charcuterie plate came out a little later. Unfortunately the charcuterie plate wasn't good at all. The bread was very stale. And the salami was already going spoiled. I do not recommend this dish at all. I don't think they push this out much and that's why items on that plate were spoiled. Thankfully, the waitress took it off the bill. I did not take a picture of it because we sent it back right away. Overall, we won't be coming back.

    Dinner

    The description is panoramic views and they is not exactly true but you do get a nice slice of the ocean view. Fish and chips were good. Clam chowder was the star. The seafood linguine had a few shrimp and mussels could have used a lot more. Mai tai was strong and needed more flavor. Desserts are from French Corner Bakery which is a plus. The cream brule and lemon tart are amazing. Carrot cake and black forest are good. Free Parking which is a plus. They close at 9. Service was good. An easy place to dine after a hard day beachcombing.

Similar to a Southern Cracker-barrel, Linn's has a boutique at the entrance which is on the more curated side with visually indulgent cookbooks and tableware findings. Service is with a polite smile and efficient. I always seem to have a special order and this time I ordered their vegan tomato bisque with half vegetable panini and I subbed a roasted poblano pepper for the eggplant. The combo of the roasted veg and poblano pepper as the feature flavor in a grilled cheese on sourdough was outstanding! My mom treated herself to the Ololliberry pie and house made vanilla bean ice cream. She was in heaven. Hubby had the Tri-tip Sando and sister ordered the beet and goat cheese salad. All the produce and sauces/dressings were fresh and delicious and the portions were generous - not over the top. Linns has a delightful wine selection to accompany your meal and it is a welcoming and homey experience. Will definitely return.

When she is not here, it is a different place. On slow weekdays the staff range from unfriendly to flat out rude, and they close early. Posted closing is 1 pm, but I have watched the closed sign go up at 12:30 and been turned away. The last excuse was a power outage. I live here. That outage lasted about ten minutes and had ended more than three hours earlier. And it is not just me. Last week I was in a coffee shop nearby, standing behind a woman who had come back to visit after moving away years ago. She had just walked out of Lily's five minutes earlier. She was telling her friend that it had always been her favorite place and that the owner was wonderful, but was shocked that the staff were nasty. She did not know I was listening and had no reason to say it except that it had just happened and she was upset about it because she was nostalgic and had been looking forward to going to her favorite place. If you show up in that last thirty minutes on a day that is not busy, you may find the door shut on you regardless of what the sign says. So go there when the owner is there or go more than thirty minutes before closing on days unlikely to be busy. Of course not all the staff are that unfriendly - The long term staff are friendly But too many aren't . They get laid off or quit them you get a new one with attitude . It's just I have bad luck showing up at wrong time.
