Been coming here for years. The happy hour is solid - $7 for food and drinks is hard to beat these days. The fish tacos are my go-to, especially the grilled swordfish version. Good, simple spot.

Nice patio with a view of the ocean. The sukiyaki hotpot was pretty good, and the grilled beef tongue was decent. The menu is quite large, which is nice, though it took us a while to decide.

The portions here are solid for what you pay. I tried their pasta special today and it was honestly just really fresh, you know? Like they just made it.

The roast beef and turkey were solid, good quality. The bread was crispy too. But honestly, the portion size for the price felt a bit off. I was still a little hungry after my sandwich. The side sauce was nice though.

Had a nice birthday dinner here. The table was decorated for us, which was a thoughtful touch. The staff was friendly and checked in just the right amount. Made for a relaxed evening.

Valet was $10, so I went for it. Street parking around here is a pain. They were quick with the car when we left.

First time here and the clam chowder was a real standout. So creamy and packed with clams, it&rsquo;s the best I&rsquo;ve had in a while. The grilled sea bass was solid too, cooked perfectly.

Sat on the patio for the sunset view. The crispy chicken buns were the highlight - really unique and tasty. A solid choice for a casual bite.

Service was friendly and efficient. We ordered at the counter and the food came out pretty quickly, even though the place was packed. The system works well.

Nice two-level patio with lots of plants. Felt like a little escape from the city for a bit. Sat upstairs, was pretty chill.

The lavender-cocorita was the thing. That floral note with the tequila, really unique. Shrimp diablo had a solid, smoky heat, not overwhelming. Just focused on those two plates.

Been coming here for years, and I always get the garlic cheese bread with their marinara. That sauce is just so bright and clean. It&#39;s the one thing I know will be exactly right every single time.

The vegetarian options were pretty good. Staff was thoughtful about my birthday dinner.

Really liked the cozy hat theme inside! It&rsquo;s a bit small, so we grabbed a table upstairs. The view of the beach from there was a nice surprise.

Really liked the vibe here. The space is industrial but warm, with high ceilings and big windows that let in great light. Felt relaxed just sitting at the bar. The food was solid, but honestly, the atmosphere is what I&#39;ll remember.

Server was super helpful with cocktail suggestions. Got a spicy margarita that hit the spot. Made the whole dinner feel a bit more relaxed. Solid service.

Great Maple is a Michelin-recommended spot that truly lives up to the hype! The food was flavorful and well-executed, especially the brisket hash and French toast logs. Just be prepared for a lively and loud atmosphere.

Top of the Market offers stunning waterfront views that enhance the dining experience. The atmosphere is relaxing, making it a perfect spot for a special occasion.

The service here is top-notch! Our waiter was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. The ambiance is trendy and clean, making it a great spot for a special occasion.

I was impressed by the attention to detail in every dish at Kettner Exchange. The kale salad even converted me into a fan of kale! It&#39;s a place where every bite is a treat.

Gabby was so nice when we walked in! Made me and my friends feel right at home. The staff was really on top of things all night, which was perfect for catching up.

The lobster chowder from the combo bucket was a highlight. It tasted so fresh, like they used really good, quality ingredients. The broth was rich without being too heavy. The fried ice cream was fine, but the chowder is what I&#39;d go back for.

It is a waterside restaurant. the view is amazing, the food is great (corporate with a little bit of Asian ingredients).

The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, offering excellent service that really elevates the dining experience.
