Probably the most popular place in town, so you may have to wait, but it's worth it. Try the manila clams if you're looking for seafood. Excellent beer selection, outdoor seating.

A great place to get lunch in or take it to go. Grab a sandwich to go, and head out to Salt Creek! This is a fresher, tastier alternative to Subway. They bake their own bread, and the sandwich ingredients are locally sourced with many organic and vegan options available. They have a killer menu of sandwiches, or you can build your own. Or create your own salad. Soups and cookies are also homemade and delicious. After 4, 21+ can pop next door and grab a beer or cocktail to enjoy with their lunch.

Kids love the touch tanks, where they can learn about the creatures living in our harbor, and actually touch them! Recirculating water from the harbor keeps them in their natural habitat. Visit the octopus who lives there, she is usually right at the front of the tank. If you're lucky enough to be there at feeding time, it's extra fun! Located on the city pier, and right next to Hollywood Beach.
