Fantastic brunch, lunch and dinner. Cuban inspired. The breakfast hash is to die for. It's a nice sports bar too, if you're pining to watch the game!

Entertainment & Activities
Check out a cruise on the Bahia Belle Sternwheller Paddleboat on Mission Bay at night.
The Bahia Belle is a beautiful old 3 story Mississippi style sternwheeler paddleboat that cruises Mission Bay along Pacific Beach and Mission Beach showcasing great views and live music. This is one of best things to do in Misison Beach! It can be fun for a romantic night out watching sunset from the open upper deck and then going down for dancing on the second floor or meeting three or four friends to hang out and enjoy awesome bay views and great conversation on the only fun party boat in the beach areas. The Bahia Belle leaves from the Bahia Hotel at 6:30PM and arrives at The Catamaran Hotel at 7PM. It goes back and forth all night long letting visitors on and off at both hotel locations. It runs until 12 midnight in the off season and until 1pm during the summer time and weekends. The boat runs every day in the summer and Thursday thru Sunday during the off season. The cost is $6.00 per person and is free to hotel guests. Surprise your friends or special someone with this for fun and you won't be disappointed!
