The seafood is pretty good - it comes fresh from "Tony's Fish Market", just a few steps away - but definitely take your drinks upstairs at the "Top O' Tony's", a.k.a. 'the Crow's Nest' (that's a picture of the Crow's Nest & the outside stairs in DawnTiki's post). Go in from the restaurant level and go up the inside stairs instead so you can view the 'signed photo gallery of celebs' that decorates the walls on your way up...

The decor in the Crow's Nest is a little sparse - basically just 6 HUGE beachcomber lamps - (well, that's because it's ALL windows = great view!), but Tony's itself below has all the hallmarks of an authentic beachcomber resto that's been around for more than 50 years. No tikis, but the ambience is very relaxing and comfortable.

Although it's pineapple-based, their Mai Tai is tasty and is probably your best bet (and it comes in their 50-year anniversary glass, too!)

If you're a beer drinker, be sure to check out Naja's, just a short walk down the boardwalk: 777 different kinds of beer, almost 100 of them on tap (but no New Zealand Kiwi Lager!! Arrgghh..)

Tony's will definitely be a stop on the South Bay Tiki Crawl, whenever we get around to doing one! Definitely let us know what you think!
