nice chill factor. Love the beach/pool cabana style at night - the fire pits and heat lamps keep it from being unbearable on San Diego cool nights. The staff and clientele were friendlier than at most swankier than thou joints too.…

Get there early if you're out Saturday night as it can get to capacity. Look for the Brazilian babe (statue) in the back corner by one of the firepits...…
