“Awesome little local beer bar. Modest, but great selection of beer. I always felt a friendly welcome every time I go in. Christian, who owns the place is great, and always recommends good choices for whatever your palate is feeling. My favorite place for beer in town!“

“Been wanting to stop in for years. Was in the shopping plaza next door and had some time so I took the opportunity. Being early Sat afternoon, there were only a dozen or so customers. The place isn't huge but if you don't mind standing there's enough space between tables. Some food is available (I didn't order any) and they have food trucks some nights as well as entertainment. True to their website claim, there were indeed 30 taps with 30 beers to choose from, some local/regional and others from afar. I decided to sample and got three 5-oz glasses after talking with Dawn, the bar tender, who recommended a couple based on my preferences. I think my favorite was the dark, coffee flavored beer on nitro. There's something for everyone and I'll definitely return, esp with family and friends seeking good brew. I highly recommend the Brewhouse, you won't be disappointed.“

“My wife and I love this place! It's tucked into a corner of the strip mall and attached to a number of food options. It's windows are usually open so it's a great stop on a nice afternoon. Omar is an upbeat, fun bartender with creative drink ideas and a joy to hang with. Good music, nice vibes and a cherished secret in a sea of corporate offices.“

“Board and Brew in Dana Point provided amazing food and customer service that is above and beyond for my brother’s memorial service on 11/2. They confirmed my order a few days before the memorial
And the day of. Delivery was fantastic and they truly put their heart into this special day for us. Thank you everyone you are all the best“

“Great food and great staff“

“My husband and I ordered several dishes, and everything was delicious and prepared meticulously. The broiled fish with grated daikon is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Our server was attentive and made our meal comfortable. The decor is more pared down, but very clean. We’re visiting from out of town, but if we lived in the area we would definitely go back.“

“Very nice place to eat. We stopped by while visiting the area. The host was very nice and even explained that they make everything themselves and use beef tallow. The food was delicious and if I’m ever back in this area, I will be sure to stop by again.“

“Enjoyed a delicious lunch combo special that included two sliders, 1/2 house salad, and a side (sweet potato fries). It was delicious, and a ton of food. Our bartender was super friendly and very attentive. Highly recommend this place if you're in Irvine.“

“We are in the city of Laguna Beach. Stopped a this place to have dinner. Great sandwiches. Had a Turkado and pastrami. Pricing was very, very reasonable! Highly recommended if you are in the area. This would be my new favorite place if it was in Riverside.

Kid-friendliness: Family atmosphere ♥️“

“Cool Newport Beach bar sitting on the beach side. Has been There that I remember from the ’60’s“

“I absolutely love this restaurant. The customer service is above and behind. The street tacos are my favorite. It melts in your mouth so good. We have had many things off their menu. Nothing disappoints. The selection is huge and everything you could order will be the best. Enjoy you will certainly be back.“

“INCREDIBLE is an understatement! From the ambiance, to the service, to the impeccably currated menu. Just WOW. The attention to detail on every aspect at Casa De Onda was perfection. The tropical margarita was a show stopper, fresh lime and coconut is a combo I didn’t know I needed. The steak frites melted in you mouth & was topped with a homemade Chimichurri that was a burst of fresh flavor. The vibes from start to finish we insane! 1000/10.“

“Hit the mark, prices ok, 24/7 Willy Wonka on TV👍“

“Spicy chicken feet is at the right level of spiciness. They don’t have boneless option, so you have to do your work. And if you decided to order spicy chicken feet, order with diy rice ball. Not because it’s fiery hot, but the portion of one order is def not enough for two people. So if you are hungry, combo menu will be the best. Me and my friend got combo A, and we got enough of various dishes ( chicken feet+diy rice ball+steamed egg+fried chicken). Also this place didn’t seemed to be overly busy even in the Friday night. No need for reservation.“

“Me and my hubby been docking boats or ferry-hopping our bikes to Balboa saloon since the seventies. Half the year we live in Newport, half Montana-where whiskey still hollers your name out there. This here's our bar, our heartbeat. Fourth we light it up, holidays on lock, pool tables bruised from our elbows, salt and lager thick as perfume. Ensenada-Newport race? Honey, we command this place like pirates. The Owner finally did somethin' right-floor don't grab my flip-flops, somebody's moppin'! Jeff's still king behind the bar, new gals laugh real, pour cold, TVs sharp as knives. Only hitch-get Cruisers to wing it over so we quit dodgin' Death Trap Balboa Boulevard. Five stars, fat tip, and girl-we're bringin' every neighbor, every sunburned neighbor's dog, every salty soul we love down here to share the buzz we just crashed into.“

“Service is outstanding! The place is clean including the bathroom. Food is awesome🥰“

“I ate here a few days ago with my family and enjoyed the experience. I ordered the Crunch Shrimp Roll and Chicken Gyozas and found them both delicious. We also split a big bowl of Shrimp Fried Rice, and had Green Tea ice cream for dessert.
The atmosphere is very intimate and cozy and the food was brought out in quick fashion.“

“I don't think they serve food but the drinks are stellar! The Boulevard is a great local spot with a range of options from crafty fresh squeezed cocktails, top shelf shots or white claw... and everything else - they have it all. The pool table in the back is nice, there are large TVs and great tunes playing. They also have cozy interior booths for date night lol.

The service is the best - friendly and quick. The drinks are moderately priced normally a good deal but I also suggest going during happy hour from 5-7pm. They have fun decorating for Halloween and the holidays too which adds to the vibe. I definitely recommend stopping by The Boulevard for an adult beverage with atmosphere.“
