Ordered delivery and was impressed with how well packaged everything came. I ordered the lobster rolls and clam chowder and both were delicious. My new favorite go-to for a good lobster roll and clam chowder.

Really nice small chain and this location was excellent. We had a group and ordered a big order to go. They did miss one item in our order but otherwise it was perfect and the food quality was much better than expected.
Particularly we loved the grilled fish and shrimp options and the fresh sides. I had grilled fish and shrimp tacos and they were outstanding. Better quality tortillas than I expected as well!
Just a really nice fast casual concept with great execution and friendly staff!

The salad wasn’t very fresh, and the portion was too small for an avocado salad — I think it had maybe 1/4 of an avocado at most. The clam chowder was delicious.

I work nearby and enjoy this place on a regular basis. Try the shrimp trio, it's delicious. My gripes are that they have discontinued my favorite entrée (Mahi mahi), eliminated my favorite side (miso slaw, and they keep the dining room at around 65 degrees. It's way too cold in there. Still one of the better food options in the area.

App is confusing. Says you can only have 3 sauces for an order. It doesn't stop you from requesting more though. Should either take out the 3 sauce wording or just allow you to buy extra sauce.

The California Fish Grill in Escondido is a chain seafood restaurant based out of Newport Beach, California. They are focused on providing fresh, healthy, and sustainable seafood dishes in a casual environment.

When visiting the Escondido location for lunch today, the orders were taken via two large touch screen menus. After taking our seats in the high-ceiling dining area, our salads were quickly delivered by the friendly staff.

The Greek Shrimp salad featured tasty grilled shrimp, marinated tomato and cucumber, pickled red onion, feta and Greek dressing. The crispness of the cucumber and red onion brought a great texture and variety to the dish. The combination of the seasoned shrimp and herbal marinade on the tomato and cucumber was so flavorful that I would prefer the dressing on the side next time.

The shrimp and avocado Caesar salad showcased the deliciously seasoned grilled shrimp with avocado, romaine lettuce, cheese and Caesar dressing. The dairy notes from the cheese and dressing made a pleasant contrast to the seasoned shrimp.

The California Fish Grill is a great place for a healthy business lunch or relaxed family-friendly outing. They offer a good value for the portion sizes and seafood quality.

Average meal.

Ordered the fish and chips with shrimp special. The presentation was nice.

I need like a Zesty cocktail sauce with my fish and chips... the cocktail sauce here seemed like it was missing the horseradish. Very mild. Did not like.
I need like a mild tartar sauce with my fish and chips, too... the tartar sauce here was tangy, and had a similar flavor profile to the cocktail sauce. Did not like.
Shrimp was good.
Kale slaw was dry and flavorless, but thats probably because it was super fresh.
Fries were ok.
Fish was hot and crispy but very mushy on the inside. My mom gave me a piece of her fish, and it was also mushy.
