Kasalta - A well known eatery in Ocean Park
Breakfasts, lunch and now serving dinners. Kind of a brasseri type restaurant with wines, desserts and local food. I think its a bit overpriced for what you get here, but it is a mainstay in Ocean Park.

Uvva Beach Side restuarant (part of hotel Hosteria del Mar)
