Savannah at the Beach Restaurant

We dined at Savannah at the Beach Restaurant last night. They are located next to the pier in Huntington Beach at 315 Pacific Coast Highway.

The food was excellent. They serve steaks, chicken, seafood, pasta, salads, soup, and tacos. They have a large bar with beer on tap and lots of mixed drinks.

The inside of the restaurant is quite large. They have both tables and booths. There is a large patio that offers a nice view of the pier and sand. We were seated on the patio.

The patio was noisy and filled with smoke. There were a lot of chain smokers sitting on the patio and some people were smoking large cigars. If you want clean air and less noise while dining, you should ask to be seated inside the restaurant.

Park Bench Cafe

The Park Bench Cafe is located in Huntington Beach Central Park on Goldenwest Street. This is a favorite breakfast and lunch spot for dog lovers and people who like to dine outdoors. They have a large breakfast menu. The lunch menu offers delicious sandwiches and hamburgers. They serve soft drinks. They have a menu for dogs and offer water for their canine diners.

The Park Bench Cafe is a great place to bring kids and dogs. Central Park has nice trails for strolling after you eat. There is a playground for the kids near the restaurant. You will find both a dog park and another playground on the other side of Central Park, off of Edwards Street.

The Crosby in Santa Ana

My parents took me to a new restaurant called The Crosby, located in Santa Ana's Art Colony at 4th and Broadway, next to Starbucks.

The place is owned by 2 kids from Fountain Valley, Philip Nisco and Marc Yamaoka, along with their buddy from Tustin, Chris Alfaro. The owners ride skateboards and look like they might be 18 - 25 years old.

The food is great. They have a wonderful chef. He makes pizza, pasta, sandwiches, salads, tapas, soup, and delicious desserts. They serve wine, bottled beer, and beer on tap. The place is very clean and the service was excellent.

They also sell unique books and clothing.
