Beautiful seaside cafe. Loved the patio dining area with view of the beach and strollers on the promenade. Very professional staff, elegantly dressed. Delicious wine offerings—mostly French. The Cote de Provence was perfect for our mid-afternoon family luncheon.

Can only give 5 stars but wish I could give more! From the ocean views and comfortable bistro-style seating to the excellent food and the lovely staff, this place is ! We loved everything we ordered and the staff was very knowledgeable of the menu and wine list which we appreciated. French cuisine in an ocean view setting perfection!

One of the best places to eat in Avila. Had the champaign flight and charcuterie board as well as the lobster roll. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Well worth the price. Not to mention the outdoor seating overlooking the beach. Will definitely be back. ..oh and all of the staff were amazing and the owner was friendly greeting patrons and making sure everyone was enjoying their experience.

First time visit. The food was outstanding. They were short-staffed, but the young lady taking care of us did a wonderful job.

I had the pleasure of getting lunch with my parents and my girlfriend here. The food is nothing short of delicious idyllic French cuisine. Between the 4 of us we had the French onion soup, the Nicoise salad, and two trio combos ( croque monsieur, salad and chowder) In short, the view is heavenly, the service is impeccable, and the food is fabulous.

Wow. We were lucky enough to have Angela as our server who made our anniversary night perfect as was the food. From the support staff to the owner this is a first class place. And the food was amazing too. Loved watching the sunset as enjoying an amazing meal. A must go place. Update: we came back to Avila Beach and had a couple of cocktails at one of our favorite places. We are looking forward to later on this week going ahead and having dinner again. Update Again: once again we stopped at one of our favorite places in Avida Beach to have dinner and of course they did not disappoint. The staff has always been amazing. The food has been fantastic and we will definitely come by again next year.

Had the best meal here on Christmas Eve with the fam. I had the turkey dinner and it was great. My family was also all happy with their meals. The staff was exceptional going above and beyond for to make sure we were taken care of. Special shout out to Brian our server. Great guy who was so attentive and friendly. The guy who brought out the food was all smiles. Highly recommend.

We had the Lobster Roll, the Trio Combo, and the Cheese & Charcuterie Board. Everything was perfect! The view of the beach was beautiful when sitting outside, and they played some cute French music in the background.
