"Once hailed as a must-stop along Highway 29, eating at Mustards Grill these days has become somewhat of a gamble. It’s never a bad place to spend an afternoon, thanks to the cozy, elevated coastal diner space with wrap-around windows and black-and-white checkered flooring. But in an area overrun with talented chefs and fresh produce, there are plenty of other great options nearby like R+D Kitchen. The menu is eclectic and the better dishes are Asian-inspired, like crispy calamari (presented more like a salad with curried slaw and fresno chilies) or ahi tuna crackers with wasabi cream. But if you’re looking for heat, you won’t find it. The lamb burger is a notch above good, but then the soggy, flavorless BBQ pork sandwich and soupy mac and cheese skew borderline unappealing. Most prices feel too high to justify the quality, but the service is excellent." - Jasmine Alexandra
