I’m wanting to have a birthday party here. How does one go about reserving tables or is it first come. Anybody have suggestions on going about this to make sure we have a spot for the party.
I love San Gorgonio — it has a view of the ocean, is never very crowded, and has a wonderful breeze! Great for those summer days! It even has a bathroom!
