You've seen it on travel channels - the explosive fish market with seafood flying across the air! Spotting mermaids at the "original" Starbucks (it's really the 2nd store, since the first Starbucks was on 2000 Western Ave) and just soaking up the vibes! Do go for that quintessential photo-bomb outside the pier.

Helmed by Chef Matt Dillon, S&S focuses on local ingredients with their weekly menu. Communal tables, high ceilings, lots of wood, and a rustic country feel. Pretty unique flavors for adventurous foodies - roasted asparagus with walnut purée, potatoes with squid ink finishing with halibut and seaweed.
