    Delicious menu, enough diverse options without overdoing it - everything we had was amazing! Breakfast tacos yum! The Benedict (their take on it is smaller which gives you some room for potatoes or bacon!) and it is mouth watering good. I’ll be dreaming about the Coast Toast until I have it again! Excellent service! The servers and bartenders are total pros, so you feel well taken care of. It feels so easy and nicely casual, yet Beaumont’s is a well- oiled machine! And the drinks! We loved the Don’t You Judge Me (bubbly refreshing, but powerful) and the Bloody Mary. I’m going back as soon as possible 😋😍

    Large group celebrating a birthday on ALL YOU CAN EAT CRAB night (Thursday nights). The staff was great, they were attentive and always there to get us drinks or more crab! The team did a great job making sure the celebration went well. The crab was AMAZING. The chef stopped by to check on us and tell us how the crab is prepared. Overall great experience.
