The coveted Official Kibitzer Seal of Approval is awarded only after an arduous multi-faceted evaluation process.  That is, we like places that are friendly, relaxed, tasty, and a good value.  If they're cheap and have multiple vegetarian options too, so much the better.

The Kibitzers visited the Oceanaire Cafe on their 1998 Pacific Coast Trip.
