The Beach House in Cardiff has a beautiful view of the ocean, nothing to obstruct it since it is literally right on the beach!

The restaurant's interior is a bit dated but I think their food & the view makes up for that minor flaw.

I've only eaten at the Top of the House. It has a more casual atmosphere and the view is just better. Also, that's where the Happy Hour happens!

One appetizer that I suggest is their Oysters Rockefeller, baked with bacon-onion creamed spinach & parmesan. So delicious!!!

I like Beach House because it can cater to any event: happy hour after work, lunch with the gals, or going on a date. This restaurant is a must try.

Love the Happy Hour, the weather must be nice or its cold outside. The food is really great..

Just know what to expect when you go the Beach House. Expect the following: super cheap happy hour with delicious snacks and drinks, an amazing beach front view of the ocean, a lively atmosphere during happy hour, good food for the price and decent service. Also expect that if you're grandparents live locally that they may want to take you there for brunch as they are regulars and they know everyone that works there by name.<br />

My girlfriend took me to the Beach House for the first time the other day. She wanted to take me somewhere that I have never been. She did preface the visit there by saying that it's odd but that I'd probably like the place. Well she was right. I would have never normally stopped into the Beach House because the appearance. The restaurant just literally looks like it hasn't been renovated in 40 years. But then we took a step inside..... and guess what? It HASN'T been renovated in 40 years! :)<br />

After a few minutes the place began to grow on me. The place does have a certain charm to it. The first floor is more of a fine dining establishment with a separate menu from the upstairs areas which is more of a casual "good time" environment. Both levels have spectacular views of the surf and are literally right on the beach. The windows throughout are adorned with wrought iron ornamental fences and banisters, artistic stained glass windows, and cool old school patterned tacky peach carpet.<br />

Our food was pretty good actually and so were the drinks. But for the price they were GREAT! They have insanely cheap happy hour specials that make it worth the stop. And maybe I might even try the brunch sometime that they boast. So if I'm making it sound like your grandparents would love this place, they probably would, or already do. The Beach House has some serious old school charm AND it's easy on grandma's checkbook.<br />

The Beach House has one of the better Sunday Brunches around. Reason being, bottomless mimosas with any breakfast ordered.

I also recommend their Happy Hour for food and drink specials until 6p.

My only gripe is that (free) parking is limited so be prepared to spend about $5 for valet/tip costs.


Enjoy.

The Beach House has Happy Hour 7 days a week from 4 -7! They have awesome and inexpensive drink and food specials. I recommend the grilled artichokes and the pomegranate martinis! The view at the Beach House is the BEST-- An amazing beach front view of the ocean. Get here early because the patio fills up quick!
