We go to the Top Mast when we stay in the area. Delicious breakfasts, the Portuguese scramble is terrific. Last night we went for dinner. There was a bus of diners, we decided to sit outside. They were short staffed, and running around like mad. Tony seated us. Even though having a staffing setback he was the ultimate professional, he took our order with a smile, in fact everyone that was working Friday night was smiling and pleasant despite their situation. Thank you all for an outstanding experience! See you next year.

We come to the area for the 4th of July every year but never knew about this place. It was way more convenient than driving into downtown for breakfast. The food was great and service was super friendly. I had the Portuguese scramble and a perfectly made iced caramel latte. Also loved looking at all the flowers & koi pond!

Top Mast Cafe was one of several restaurants that we dined at while on vacation the last week of June, and it quickly became our favorite for a number of reasons. First, the cafe's location was an easy three-minute walk from our hotel, the Horizon Beach Resort, just down the road. Secondly, their menu featured a good selection and variety of meals at fair prices. Actually, many of their prices were very reasonable when compared to some other restaurants in the surrounding area. Thirdly, the food quality and portion sizes were some of the best that we had during our week-long stay. Add to that, the service we received for every meal was truly outstanding and consistently the best. They offer patio dining as well as indoor dining. We ate several meals here, and dining on their patio made for a very pleasant atmosphere for each of those meals. It didn't matter if it was breakfast or dinner, the food was delicious, the portion sizes were filling, and the service was the best. Our food was always cooked properly and served up without any long waits. We never had a food or service quality issue with any of our meals. While we did splurge on a couple of our meals here, generally, we found many of the prices here to be an affordable option, and a good value based on food quality and portion size for this area. To distill down the costs, our total breakfast bill for two meals ranged from 25 to 40, while our total dinner bill for two meals ranged from 36 to 61 over the course of multiple days. As good as the food was, I have to comment on the service we received during each of our visits. The wait staff consisted of several young people who provided us with the best and most attentive service of any of the restaurants we visited during our vacation. We were simply blown away by the service from Desi, George, Karine, and Syusi. Each of them was friendly, courteous, polite, very engaging, efficient and, above all, very professional. We could not have asked for better service than what we received from each of them. We had opportunities to chat with each of them at length and learned a bit about them. Our interactions with each of them added a lot to our dining experiences here. I compliment the management for having such an outstanding team. It goes without saying, based on multiple visits here, I highly recommend both the food and the service at the Top Mast Cafe. Enjoy, and thanks for reading!

I came here during off season and this is an absolutely great place to get a good and affordable hearty meal. Very friendly service. The hollandaise sauce was superb!! Decent layout for dining with booths and tables. Added bonus that you can check out their koi fish pond outside and it is steps away from the beach across the street! I think the only thing is I wish it was more clear where you can actually park for the restaurant and what is for the motel.
