    Great food and service. A hidden gem! Brunch with a view you can’t beat. I didn’t see elevators so be weary if climbing steps will be an issue.

    We are a clearly visible lesbian and we were treated like any other couple and it was very reassuring and we felt safe and comfortable. We had a wonderful waitress who was very attentive and funny and even said we were a cute couple! I’ve been eating at Burlock Coast for a few years now with my family and now my partner and it’s always a positive experience.
