“Valentina used to be one of my favorite local restaurants since we moved to Cardiff in (deep COVID) 2020. Their modern European style menu always was great, and the patio ambiance was a must. We had a few lackluster experiences probably about 9 months ago where we were not sat where we made our reservation then had loud dinners with parents on the street which was not the move. Anywho, fast forward to last night - wow, have things turned around! Much more Spanish focused dishes, we tried so many (all recommended by our waiter who was amazing) and LOVED them all. Will bring friends and family back, so many more dishes we were excited to try!“

“The food and drinks here are phenomenal! The seats outside or near the windows remind me of the marine room, especially during high tide. My husband and I like to come here for little celebrations and am never disappointed. We have tried numerous appetizers, meals, and cocktails, all of which tasted delicious. Their seafood dishes are unbeatable. The service is always friendly and quick. The valet price is reasonable too.Parking: There is a valet that is great and pretty cheap.“

“When we travel to SoCal we make Thursday oyster night an event on our calendar. From 4 to 6 oysters are $1.25 each - a great deal! We always get 2 dozen assorted (which is now the limit) plus a few extra items. The salads are fantastic. I recommend upgrading to the ahi or scallops. The scallops taco is also good. Scallops are not overcooked and rubbery, which I appreciate. I don't recommend anything deep-fried. French fries were barely warm and were not very crisp. Onion rings have too much batter, so we ended up peeling off a lot of uncooked dough. The calamari we ordered one visit had a heavy layer of batter. Wine is a little overpriced for such a casual place. The service is great when not too busy, with very friendly staff. They really only ring up your order at the counter and bring it to your table. We love the atmosphere but usually eat inside so we don't have to listen to traffic. If you focus on fresh seafood you will really enjoy this place.“

“I got the Hand Rolls (comes with 5 rolls... Shrimp, Spicy Tuna, Salmon, Scallops and Yellowtail) and each one was better than the last... super fresh... zero fishy smell... the Scallops was surprisingly my favorite. I've had bad scallops before and wasn't sure what to expect. But its absolutely delicious. They have 5 different sauces to add for dipping, just get them all they are excellent. Service was quick and friendly, I'll be back 100%“

“It was our first time at Lobster West and arrived 4:20pm. Great casual ambiance, seating along the patio.they have generous servings, juicy and flavorful lobster and crab sandwiches. The soup was awesome for the cold weather. We will surely be back for the food. An area to improve for dining customers is the improvement is rest room for the dining guests. Not only you’ll have to walk around the building to get to it, but it’s one cubicle available.“

“Awesome pizza! Sourdough crust and top notch ingredients. Can eat a whole pizza and somehow not feel bloated and terrible like other pizza spots. Super spendy $$$ per pie, we racked up $100+ for 3 people couple pizzas and 3 drinks, and that’s counter service not table service, but if you’re ok with the price tag you’ll love it.“

“Such a good experience here. I enjoyed the speedy service / delivery of food-to-table. Very great menu options. Mahi tacos were yum. Seating alongside perfect strangers and having a casual conversation at peak lunch time was engaging and a fun social experience.Dog friendly patios also make me happy.Parking: Tough at peak lunch hour to find a spot but not impossible. I like to walk so I opted for the first spot I found and enjoyed the stroll near the beach and down to the restaurant.“

“This is a funky, earthy place. Incredible food and really friendly and informal staff. The space is small and the chairs at the bar not super comfortable, but it has a great beach vibe and most importantly tasty food. I had a strawberry mojito flavored hard kombucha on draft, very good. The server had lots of recommendations and I went with the Grandview roll and the Crispy rice. Both were great. Spicy and a touch pricy, but it’s sushi and California so not unexpected. Overall, a good spot to grab some tasty eats and experience a little local culture. I’d go back!“

“T'was my first time ever at a Wahoo's Fish Taco restaurant. A bit more expensive than I expected but the food was excellent and abundant. The young man at the counter, Jeremy, was a really great kid and the manager and owner should both be very happy to have him there.He knew the menu inside and out without even looking at it and made several recommendations that turned out to be spot-on.He was also quite responsible - even when on his break he took the initiative to hop out of his seat and cover the ordering counter when there wasn't anyone there.“
