old Oceanside restaurant with boat theme - Beyond Tiki

I grew up in San Diego County, so I've begun exploring the area again to see what places still exist from decades ago when I lived in this county before. This week while passing through Oceanside, I noticed The Flying Bridge Coffee Shop and did some research on it when I got back, since it's obviously midcentury. I saw that somebody posted this thread in 2007... http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=23958&forum=6&start=last ...saying that the restaurant is slated for demolition for a future Hyatt, but obviously the restaurant is still there. I remember a restaurant in Oceanside in that same area that my family visited somewhere around 1969, I believe. It had a strong ship theme, I believe with a large wooden boat out in front, or maybe masts atop the restaurant. Now here is the question for which I made this post... Does anybody know which restaurant I'm thinking of, and if so, was it the Flying Bridge Coffee Shop? By the way, the address of this current place is: The Flying Bridge 1105 North Coast Highway Oceanside, CA 92054 760-722-0081 The online reviews for this place are really bad (1/5 points, 2/5 points, etc.), but I have a thing for midcentury places, so I'll probably stop in there in May and take lots of photos for posterity, even if it's not the same place I remember.
