Description
Situated on a gorgeous patio overlooking the Pacific, Shades serves up incomparable cuisine made from gourmet products. Many of the menu’s ingredients can be traced to local farmers’ markets.

Treat yourself to one of their ever-popular Sunday champagne brunches, which features a wide variety of epicurean delights including Belgian waffles and sushi. Stop by in the evening to lounge around a patio fire pit with a cocktail (or two).
