I am allergic to most sea food & don’t trust restaurants to not cook my burger in grease where they cooked fish.When my group wanted to eat here I ordered food from a place that doesn’t sell any sea food to bring with me. Even though my friends were ordering/giving them business they told me I couldn’t eat my food there! When I took one more bite (one left of the taco)before I closed it they sent the manager out. She talked to me like I was 5 & before I could think fast enough to explain my situation she told me they had to hold my food in a bag in the back? Mind you it’s RAINING so I could not walk back to the hotel to eat AND they had a bunch of empty tables due to the rain. It was my final vacation day dinner.Feels like a lack of sense from the manager. My friends ended up ordering to go.I get if there’s people waiting for a table you have to be strict on your policies but it was raining and I couldn’t safely eat there.Have some humanity and speak to humans with respect.

Jessica Morrales (manager) very bad person, never takes care about costumes, She said that she was already 15 years in restaurant business, but her attitude very bad. I don't recommend this bar on the water, a bottle of tequila will cast you $600!!!!

Started with not so welcomed hostess. The waitress was nice and gave us a great service.We ordered the coconut shrimp with was so oily. Then we got fish tacos and steak tacos. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just tasted ok. Taco Bell taste better.For the location and type of restaurant, it should be much better. The portions are super small. Even ordering an appetizer and a main dish I felt like it was not enough food for the price.I would not recommend going back. You can go to any simple taco place and you’ll eat better there.

Used to come here when it was Beach Bar, used to be a great spot. Now the food is bland, menu not interesting. Happy hour is misleading. Plus a 22% auto-gratuity … for what? View of the

This was such a disappointing experience. I was here a year ago today, and I had a wonderful experience. Food was fantastic, and the service was great. This year when I came, I had high hopes. It brought me great memories, and I was eager to come back and have a great meal. If only that happened. I had one of the worst experiences at any restaurant I’ve been to. I made a reservation and then they said it wouldn’t be ready for 30 minutes later. That was okay, I didn’t care. It was a party of 7 and they tried to seat us at a table meant for 4. I told them that it wouldn’t work, and I pointed out a table that was open and they sat us here. Handed out 6 menus, 6 rolls of silverware, and only brought 6 waters. There were 7 of us. We were excited to order and the menu completely changed. That’s alright, it happens. I ordered the steak and a buddy of mine ordered the salmon. This steak was actually about 3 ounces and cost about $40. The salmon was even smaller. For $32, you would expect a piece of fish bigger than 3 ounces, but it was actually the same size as the salt shaker. All together the food was not very good and there was no flavor and it was gone in 4 bites. Then after this, there is an AUTOMATIC 22% gratuity for service that was subpar at best. I will never return and I do not recommend anyone to come to this restaurant ever. I would give 0/5 if I could.

Stopped by at 4:30 on a weekday for happy hour specials. In fact there is none unless you go to the bar for a discounted drink of well or draft beer. After tax and auto service charge it’s about $6 - $7 a drink. We split chips & quac & tenders b/c we weren’t too hungry just coming for what we thought was a mid day deal. Nice place, fast and friendly service. Parking is awful. Deck not allowed and have to wait for an empty spot in the little lot or find something blocks away. Nice walk on the pier afterwards.

We had lunch here and really enjoyed the views + the awesome food with mocktails ?. Only issue is that parking is tight there, and if you park your car in a nearby shopping complex, as soon as they see you leaving the shopping complex, they will tow away your car ?But staff and good quality were unremarkable. A great place to enjoy your meal ?

This place is a joke… Dry food, sad looking burgers and microwaved fries. Oh and 22% automatic gratuity included in the check. Super overpriced, very disappointed. The menu changed and there’s not much to choose from. It used to be way better before.. this is our last time coming here ??

Sushi-rolls was very expensive and very small. For this price you can eat something twice or thrice bigger than things you can eat
