Silk Road inspired menu. Great flavours. Sometimes they have live music during dinner. Their chai tea is delish - we stop in an get it to go instead of coffee quite often. *(seating isn't the most comfortable).

Live (quality!) music every (or just about) night. People usually end up dancing even though there's not a huge space to do it.
We tend to just sit at the bar for drinks - dining here is less casual and more upscale.

Locarno, Spanish Bank, Kits ... all the beaches are a lovely stroll during the winter, perfect for picnics and beach days in the nice weather. Off leash Dog beach is at the farthest west beach. Kits beach is the most populated and closest to restaurants and coffee shops (the others have concession stands). Parking is available.
