It’s the end of an era… Our final day here in North Beach at 7450 Ocean Terrace will be Friday, July 31 to make way for construction on the Ocean Terrace development project.

We first opened our doors here in North Beach in April 2018 as what was originally intended to be a temporary pop-up. Over the past 8 years, this place has become a neighborhood staple, even being recognized as a recommended restaurant by the Michelin Guide, and for that, we are deeply grateful to our guests, team members, and community.

While our North Beach chapter comes to an end, we’re busy preparing to open our (very) long-awaited Little River location later this summer at 8246 NE 2nd Ave.

Stay tuned for opening details, and come visit us in North Beach during our final days!

Catch us at Magie Wine Bar in Little River tomorrow from 3-8 PM with barbacoa tacos! 🌮🌮🌮
