The Beachcomber at Crystal Cove

Seated on time. Service was attentive, timely and friendly. Food was excellent. And you can't beat the beachfront location!

Good, service and ambiance were all fantastic Thus was my third time there...breakfast, lunch and dinner. All were terrific! Highly recommend

This was our second time eating at The Beachcomber. It was our Anniversary (that was noted in the reservation but never acknowledged by the restaurant) and we were really looking forward to a good meal. That is not what we received. The food was bland and the fish dry and overcooked. If fact everything seemed dry and overcooked. The decaf we were served with dessert was lukewarm and the chocolate brownie recipe seemed to be have changed. Way too much marshmallow topping. Very disappointing

Always love the food, drinks & gorgeous beach view at The Beachcomber and this visit was no exception!

Can't beat this place with its wonderful ocean front view, great menu choices,including beignets, and great service.

We could not eat our meal because beachcomber has a cat wandering the deck and my wife is highly allergic to cats. I asked for the cat to be removed from our area and the waiter was noticeably irritated and waved at the cat which moved but returned. We had to leave . Beachcomber should be required to notify at time of reservation they have a cat in the dinning area that goes from table to table. I'm wondering how this is possible sanitary.

We've been going to the Beachcomber for years and love it always. The food is delicious, the setting spectacular and the service is great. It's my favorite restaurant!

Such a unique and fun dining experience! Somewhat challenging to get there, but worth it. A bit on the pricey side, but my husband really enjoyed the baby back ribs!!!!!

We love lunch on the beach at the Beachcomber. The food is so much better than you'd expect at a beach concession. Whether inside or out, the ambiance is exactly what you'd hope for on a beach day. Crisper temps may find you indoors amid wood paneling and warm days you are right on a beach deck with a water view. Just lovely!

Excellent experience! Our experience started with picking up local CDM sandwiches at Gallo and eating on the deck in front of the Check-in office. PEACEFUL and BEAUTIFUL VIEWS. You see it was an ANNIVERSARY SURPRISE for my husband Dave, who has been working very hard. We got early check-in and time for a nap, body surfed,showered and had martinis before our reservation at the Beachcomber restaurant. Cottage #7 The Little Grass Shack. Painted RED with WHITE TRIM, easy to see from the ocean. We LOVED the location and all the helpful staff, Angie, Chuck, Gino and another front office woman who I think her name was Loretta. Cottage goers were all sweet that we met, some have been owners of a cottage, some have been coming for years... a sweet COMMUNITY. Topping off our Anniversary was our sunset dinner at the BEACHCOMBER RESTAURANT. Reservations were made on OPEN TABLE, we checked in early. We devoured our meals and drinks as everything was TOP NOTCH! Surprise! Our waiter brought a special complimentary DESSERT to continue the perfect meal and celebration. FYI ARTICHOKE APPETIZER was super YUMMY! BEST ANNIVERSARY! Nine years married, 17 years together!

We took our friend out to lunch and had a great experience. We had a cocktail before lunch at the bar, and the bartender was very friendly. We sat at a nice open table, and our server, Jesus, was phenomenal.

It's worth a trip to the Beachcomer for the on the beach location. Service was very good . But we have to say the food was below par. Mahi mahi tacos were impossible to hold without a mess . The fish was way overcooked . All the ingredients couldn't fit the small taco shells. Another guest had to send the mahi mahi dinner back as it was overcooked . We called ahead as we had one guest with a walker that is disabled and were told we had to use the shuttle bus. Also that the path from bus to restaurant had a paved route . Neither was correct. We could have parked in a handicap spot way closer. And half or more of the path from bus to restaurant is loose sand. It was almost impossible for this person to reach the restaurant. They provide “sand walkers” about halfway thru the sand path, but they are impossible to have the person sit into unless they really don't have many balance issues . So one time is enough for us.

only way to get there is by walking or parking at lot across road then taking bus ($) down to restaurant....no more uber drop or pick-up...was a real hassle . food good and sunset beautiful as always.

We had the best morning at Crystal Cove capped off with a wonderful lunch on the beach at the Beachcomber. Gabby provided the best service! In fact, all the servers and reception were extremely polite, accommodating, and cheerful. The food was exceptional and the drinks really hit the spot on a beautiful sunny day. We will definitely recommend and return soon!

In the past....excellent. Last night not so much. Our waitress was semi friendly. Dirty uniform, very hurried and aloof. Some meals good.....short ribs, sea bass. The yellow fin tuna was awful. Expected the rare tuna to be room temp but not the entire dish. The zucchini noodles ice cold and barely cooked. The lemon sauce was mostly water. Desserts came with ice cream that had melted into a puddle of soup. Not impressed at all this visit. I understand not seating until party is all there but then having to check in 2x, wsit in line, and then lead to table by a disinterested hostess with 2 menus for a party of 4 and told to share? Sorry.... do better!
