Uma's Playa Jobos
This family-run restaurant, a Rockaway Beach (New York City) outpost on Playa Jobos, serves Euro-Asian cuisine with a tropical twist. You can sip a creative cocktail on the wooden deck and chow down on unique dishes like Korean carrot and green papaya salad, pumpkin manti, or Hawaiian poke bowl with local yellowfin tuna. It's a nice change of pace from the usual fritter-focused fare. It's also a great spot to watch the surfers.
