Fodor's Expert Review Balin Roofgarden Bar & Bistro

Up on the eighth and top floors of the 60s-era Nak Hotel, the bistro serves classic European comfort food. It's heavy on the meat and potatoes, with burgers and fries, meatballs and potatoes, chicken and chips, and some hearty seafood pasta dishes and salads. A popular brunch (7 am–5 pm) includes all the usual suspects: pancakes, sausage, eggs, etc., for those who like their breakfast at any time of the day. A big draw are inventive fresh juice cocktails and better-than-average coffee, not to mention the spectacular wrap-around terrace with sweeping ocean views.
