Description
This ocean-adjacent outpost has been operating since 2011, opening its doors only from mid-May through September. The kitchen focuses on a smaller menu than its former Brooklyn counterpart, centering on Venezuelan empanadas, arepas—including a fish variety—and the crowd-favorite signature sauces. Because of its beachfront appeal, the spot regularly gets busy and pricey, though visitors note the service remains personal.
