When you first heard the name "Mess Hall" you kind of think of where the, Army, Navy and  Marines eat.  But once it was made clear that it is a market food hall with different assortments of food cooked by different chefs I was ready.  

My daughter Teria, granddaughters Cherokee & Skye and I went and I thought that it was just a food hall, no it also has a full size bar, outdoor dining area, bbq grill, ping pong table, large park, bean bag toss, fireplace and a park.  I liked it so much that I returned the very next day.

Th first day I had the Chicken Tinga from Taqueria with an hibiscus drink.   This dish consisted of shredded chicken, beans, cabbage, rice, potatoes and chips.  So good.  And I finished it all.

My second time I ordered from Vaka Burger and of course I had the Vaka Burger.  So juicy and tender, even the brioche bun was soft.  Return trip is in order.

The Mess Hall has a little of something for everyone:  Vaka Burger, Anepalco Modern Mexican, The Sandwich Society, Another Kind Cafe, The Little Greek, The Lost Bean, Big Parm, SlapFish and Foul Play.

Stop and visit for a while, you're be back.

My grandson Demetric, granddaughters Skye and Cherokee, my daughter Stacey and I went on a Watson's seeking adventure.  

We were introduced to our waitress Sarah who promptly came over to introduce herself.  I order the vanilla classic malt & the old town classic burger with french fries.

Unfortunately, I had to send mines and Stacey's malt back, it was watery and tasteless and ordered a coke.  The burger & fries were good.  I like the pharmacy sauce, yet I couldn't figure out the ingredients.  Skye had the tater tots and they were very good.

Another day, another time.  See then you then.

Watson's was established in 1899 and is California's original soda fountain. Get to that.  It must be said that this restaurant has been used as a set for Tom Hanks movie "That Thing You Do" and "The Bench Warmers" as well as "The Stepford Children" and "Gumball Rally".

Let's see.  I ordered the Chicken Marsala. Oven roasted chicken breast that is topped with a creamy marsala wine sauce, yes! with angel hair pasta. 

Teria and Stacey, two  of my daughters,ordered the chicken piccata with angel hair pasta.  When I return, immediately that is what I am going to order.   I did not sample everyone else's dish because I was too busy enjoying mines.  Apparently, I'm have to go through the entire menu.

The dinner garlic knots, the dinner garlic knots, the garlic knots, the knots.....  can you say "more please".  The pasta is all homemade! 

Our server, Mario was so gracious and thorough.  As a matter of fact, the entire wait staff, servers and chefs were simply amazing.  

Food was thoroughly enjoyed by all.  Trust me.  The atmosphere is low key and cool.

Restaurant is located on the Marina, absolutely lovely views.  Walking on the marina we watched a sea lion swimming as well as different birds perched on boats.  

My family and I ventured to Proud Mary's on a cool and sunny afternoon to continue the graduation ceremonies.  My granddaughter Cherokee who graduated from college that morning was still in her cap and gown, as we walk into the restaurant the entire restaurant clapped and shouted congratulations!  She was beaming as she said thank you and I was ever so proud and thankful for the guest and staff for extending their salutations.

Our server, Breana was so professional, friendly and attentive it made for a delightful afternoon.  The owner, Steve came over an introduced himself and stayed for a while telling that he used to be in the navy and how he came to open this restaurant.  All I am going to tell you is that it started over a hotdog.

I had the corned beef hash that was slow cooked, grilled potatoes, green peppers and onions and 2 scrambled eggs with a side of wheat toast and freshly squeezed orange juice.  I haven't had corn beef hash in I don't know how many years, but it brought back good memories and it was good.  

Everyone else's meal ended up being all eaten or couldn't finish.  The food was great and we had a good time. The atmosphere is very causal.  From the chops and salsa to the meal, I'm looking forward to my next few visits.  There are some other things on that menu that is calling for my attention.

Yep.  Came back a second time and I order the Apple cinnamon short Stack since I couldn't stop thinking about them since my granddaughter Skye let me taste hers on Tuesday.  The cinnamon can be a bit overwhelming but get beyond that and it's all in.  The slices of apple, the fluffiness of the pancakes, they're big by he way.  Tasty too.  

Our server Sarah was such a delight and had a wonderful sense of humor.  And last but not least, Fernando the bus person was so quick and efficient as well as very, very personable.  

Round three coming up.
