It was one of the worst experiences we’ve ever had on my wife’s birthday. 1) Just for 2 small just OK dishes, 2 deserts and 2 teas we paid $120… ????; 2) Chocolate bomb cake was so horrible, we just left it as is. No chocolate flavor at all. Just sugar with brown color. Mud pie was OK. Nobody asked us if we liked our food or if we did not and why; 3) Lady at the desk at the entrance did not pay attention to us at all for about 10 mins; 4) They constantly took complimentary bread away from us (3 times) without even asking us. I had to ask each time to bring it back; 5) Bread was spoiled. I told them about it. Nobody said sorry.; 6) Plates and utensils looked like they found it in trash - all dented, scratched, chipped off and looked horrible. See pictures attached; 7) Black hair in desert (we are all blond); 8) Was a mess on a table right next to us for a long time; 9) All other restaurants and cafes have much better patio design and at least some flowers and etc. This one has nothing.
Food was okay, piece of grilled fish half the size of a credit card, two bites and it was done!! Filled the plate with veggies and rice to make it look like there was more than what there was!! Service was probably the worst my wife and I have ever had at a restaurant!! She spent more time at other tables, talking and hugging, than she did at our table!! Never checked with us once to see if we needed anything!! Another beer or fill up of ice tea would have been nice!! Drove from Corona to enjoy a special evening, she ruined it!!
Amazing experience, food, and it's only a block from the pier. Very friendly and accommodating staff. We dine outdoors since we had our pup with us. I ordered the pasta Pescatore, and my significant other ordered Macadamia Halibut. The food was absolutely delicious. We both cleaned our plate . The Pescatore cause was perfect. Did not have a fish taste. The noodles were thick, which was a fantastic choice for this dish. The chunks of fish, and cherry tomatoes paired amazing. The sourdough bread pairs great with the sauce. The macadamia fish was cooked perfectly. Skin was even tasty. It sits on top of brown rice, and a mango tasting puree of sorts. Everything tasting so delicious when all together.
