I was excited to try this place as I had heard from locals around holiday time that they have a great Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. Well, I cannot say that we had the best experience. First of all, it took 30 plus minutes to get our...Read More

This was by far the most disgusting restaurant I have EVER eaten at. The food was absolutely terrible. Such a bummer given the beautiful location. The fish tasted like it had been in the freezer for several years, was covered in freezer burn,...Read More

After placing our dinner orders, we noticed that two parties arriving after us were served their meals well before us! We think our waitress just forget to place our order right away, as my meal looked thrown together and overcooked. Thankfully, my wife enjoyed...Read More

I live nearby and stop in once in a while for some take out. Got a Hearst Burger for my dog and a grilled salmon salad for me - both excellent (my pooch would give it six stars ⭐️). Forgot my phone at the counter...Read More

Swordfish was bland, rice had random hard/uncooked kernels, bread was unusually sour (more than a normal sourdough), and my old fashioned tasted like it was just harsh whiskey without the sugar and bitters. Service also took a bit longer than expected considering it's such a...Read More

We were all very hungry for dinner after a 5 hour car ride so we were extremely disappointed at the quality of food. The fish and chips dinner was inedible. The fish batter was soggy and the salad greens were limp. The children had chicken...Read More

Like the hotel, the dining experience left much to be desired. The quality of the food was mediocre. Service was friendly but quite uncoordinated. Like the accommodation, the restaurant has deteriorated since our last two visits.

This review is about the restaurant. I cannot comment on the food since we never got our order. We entered the restaurant, it wasn't busy. Only 3 tables occupied. The mask wearing Asian Hostess asked us if we had a reservation "no, we just got to...Read More

Food was so good and fresh. Great location just off the 101 and so close to the beach for after meal walk. Peaceful ambience.

Service & food were just OK. The reviews made it sound really good, but the food was like what you'd get from a little hole in the wall place. And, not the good kind.

The turkey Ortega sandwich fell apart, impossible to eat as a sandwich. The bread was super thin. Tasted good eating it with a fork though.

Dined at their restaurant. Great food, great location - right off the beach. I had clam chowder and sea food pasta, both were excellent.
