The Pacific Coast Grill in Cardiff by the Sea is a popular beachside restaurant known for its stunning ocean views and delicious seafood. The Surf and Turf Burger is a well-kept secret and a mouthwatering burst of ocean flavors.
Start with a soft buttery brioche bun and a freshly ground patty; add Dungeness crab meat, shrimp, avocado, bacon, jack cheese, chili-lime mayo, and there you have it.
