About Runaway Bay Eatery:

Runaway Bay started as a coffee shop in November 2004, serving breakfast, light lunches, and desserts. Then we realized that there was a demand for a dinner menu, so 6 months later we started serving dinner on Friday and Saturday nights. Since 2004 we have changed our menu 4 times, due to the ever growing popularity of our dishes.
