Stopped for lunch with family. All 4 of us had the fish and chips an all of us agreed that that both were excellent. Honesty, one of the best I've every had! Both the fries and fish were cooked to perfection and the light, crispy batter on the fish was delicious! Kudos to the cook!

Most of the food was very good; although it took about 40 minutes for our server to bring it out. The beef on the tenderloin salad was very red and we asked if they could cook it more. The chef said they were not able to do that. The server and host/ hostess were very nice. Very busy and noisy environment. We would eat there again, though.

The Ahi Nachos were a delicious start - spicy and fresh! The Sea Bass entree melted in my mouth and the flavors of the sauce were just phenomenal. The Tenderloin Steak and Blue Cheese Salad was HUGE and more lettuce mix than blue cheese, but it was tasty. My husband really loved his short rib entree as well. We shared most everything (I did not try his short ribs), and dessert, too, which was the Meyer Lemon Creme Brulee. It was interesting; I think I liked it. Wonderful service by Roman! It does get quite noisy when it's busy, and we did go early on a Friday, however.

We had not been to Bar of America for awhile. The service was good but we were very disappointed in the latest experience. The prices have increased dramatically so that I would consider this a pricey meal and the food was so-so at best. We ordered the ribs which were overcooked and tasteless and also a mushroom ravioli "special" entree that turned out to cost $43-ridiculous for a pasta dish with nothing else included. Overall, this restaurant is a very poor value and I would highly recommend going somewhere else.

What if I told you tuna poke nachos exist? What if I told you're they're delicious? We count on Bar of America and its related restaurants for unusual flavors and delicious takes on standards. Yes, it's expensive compared to some, but worth the price.

Had a birthday celebration with my father. There were 4 in our party. The food was amazing. We all ordered something different and all of us had a great meal. Dessert was good. Our server was nice at the start but towards the end she seemed annoyed but maybe she was starting to get busy. Prices are what they are but a little high for a burger. However, with that said food was amazing. I will be going back!

The atmosphere of this place was awesome, but the food and service was lacking. We enjoyed the poke nachos but the burgers we ordered were incredibly dried and tasted like they were cooked from frozen. I’m not one to send back food, but when you’re paying $25 for a burger it should be a good burger. When I sent it back the waitress rolled her eyes and made a face as she walked away. If you like burgers, I’d give this one a pass.

Amie made this experience epic. A perfect escape on #nationalescapeday . Not only was the Big Bird the freshest most delicious specimen, it was displayed beautifully with a delectable organic mix salad. Cheers to making our day. Thank you!
