    This place has top notch service. Food is perfectly made and the restaurant has nice ambiance. I've had the oysters and steaks (Ribeye) because I missed the pot pie day, and I wasn't disappointed, nice crust and buttery, melt in your mouth bites. My wife and I made it back for the pot pies and I would give it 4 of 5 stars, wish there was more filling, the crust was delicious and filling though. Flaky and croissant like. I had Old Fashion and my wife had wine. It's pricey but worth it, we will be back on a different date night.

    My god my skirt steak was just perfect. And my girlfriend's food was amazing!! It was so much fun with the photo booth as well! I loved her espresso martini and chicken piccata! Everything compliments each other very well. I'll definitely be back. Our waiter was amazing too I wish I knew his name! Oh and that sauce with the skirt steak is to die for.

    Chicken Cesar Salad

    What a great place, location is prime and lots of shops to visit following your meal. Ambiance is so chill and comfortable. Patio seating is actually enclosed and very comfortable. Top notch service from our waitress and bus staff. Between our group we tried several things, got some pic's and missed taking some! The table side sourdough is wonderful! Squash Blossoms melt in your mouth, so flavorful with a light batter and creamy cheese! The fish tacos were good, a bit small but nice flavor. The hamburger was a hit! Large party with bacon, egg and dressing, also the French fries were heavenly. Chicken Cesar salad was very fresh and tasted great!

    Been to A PCH countless times and it never disappoints. Always guaranteed a good time. This visit was a party of five for dinner, and we leaned heavily into their happy hour menu (3-6pm) with a few regular menu favorites mixed in... which is honestly the move. For drinks, we ordered the Old Fashioned, Yellow Stoned, Black Manhattan, and red wine, and every single one was well-balanced and perfect for easing into the night. Now for the food we ordered: Squash Blossoms - light, crisp, and delicate, fried to a golden crunch without feeling greasy at all. Dangerous in the best way. BBQ Heirloom Carrots - Just sooo good. Sweet, smoky, and insanely flavorful. Do not skip this dish! Spicy Yellowfin Tuna - fresh, bold, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat. The Burger - three people at our table ordered it, which tells you everything you need to know. Seared Ahi Tuna Salad - my order and absolutely loved it. Perfect portion, super satisfying, and still refreshing -- didn't feel heavy at all. Between the food, drinks, and consistently great vibe, this place just keeps delivering. Whether you're hitting happy hour or settling in for dinner, this location is always a win. We'll 100% be back again and again!

    Went for the first time with our friends. We were seated close to the bar, just a bit noisy but not an issue as we were able to have a conversation. Great selection of cocktails and menu We ordered the Fita Bread and hummus and sushi lobster roll and it's delicious . For our entrees we ordered the Cobb Salad with Lobster, Halibut and Cacio and Pepe , we all enjoyed it Our server Recee was very nice with a nice warm smile. She took care of us , our drinks and food . She was attentive and polite

    I had a meeting with my advisor, and he picked A's on PCH for our lunch meeting. Parking is complimentary for 90 minutes at the parking garage or complimentary street on the back side of business. The eatery has a nice interior, and we sat at a booth next to the bar. There's even a photo booth and is no charge for customers. Our cordial waiter who was bartending also waited on us and was gracious to not rush us since it was a business meeting and we dined for several hours. I opted for the skirt steak plate which included fingerling potatoes and broccolini. My steak was cooked to my request and the meal was satisfying. I would return here in the future for the solid service, atmosphere and good food.

    Met a friend for lunch here - love the ambience, the view of the waterfront is lovely, lots of natural light coming through. The service was attentive and friendly and the food was tasty. I ordered the mussels and really enjoyed it; the sauce had a bit of a kick, lovely!

    Bbq flavor carrots ( this is an appetizer to share)
    Yadira C.

    We had a great time here. The place, ambiance is beautiful with a romantic vibe, comfortable seating, nice view and also the bar area is cozy and fun. We tried the spicy yellowfin tuna and it has a strong seafood flavor, I didn't feel any spicy flavor. The bbq carrots were good but it's an appetizer to share with at least 4 people. And the main dish, the ribeye was well cooked as we ordered medium, but in general every dish needed extra flavor, we added salt to everything so I would comeback and I would try the hamburgers and any other dish next time. It took about 30 min to have out main dish after they served the appetizers. The reason I will Come back is to enjoy the bar area and the hamburgers which looks delicious

    Seared Ahi Salad
    Cathrine S.

    All the stars Hands down the best meal I've had in years. We celebrated a birthday here - I highly recommend making a reservation. A thoughtful touch: they actually acknowledged our celebration note, which so many places overlook these days. We had a gorgeous harbor view, and the ambiance was warm, inviting, and elegant truly a joy to be in. On Mondays and Tuesdays they offer a chicken pot pie wrapped in the most delicious puff pastry, and it was easily the best pot pie I've ever had. Absolute must-order. We also shared the seared ahi salad with miso ginger dressing, which was outstanding and highly recommended. Service was friendly, attentive, and quick, everything arrived perfectly timed and beautifully prepared. I cannot wait to return. This is an ideal spot for celebrations, date nights, girls' nights, and any special occasion.

    3.5 stars for brunch Service was phenomenal. Food not so much. I wasn't feeling their brunch menu so I opted for the fish taco starter ($19 for 2). The fish is battered in tempura, topped with slaw, chipotle aioli, salsa quemada + cotija cheese. These were very good fish tacos. The batter was nice and the toppings tasted fresh. No complaints here. However, everyone in my party ordered from the main menu and everything just fell a little short. Dishes were bland and didn't/couldn't warrant the price. The view situation is tricky - I think you may be able to get a view if you're dining with a smaller party? They do customize a cute lil menu in honor of whatever you're celebrating, however, the brunch was not brunching.

    We had our Christmas dinner here with our Chamber board members, and overall it was such a wonderful experience! The service was truly outstanding -- attentive, professional, and genuinely caring. From start to finish, our waiter (a gentleman from Italy) made sure our group felt welcomed and well taken care of. For food, I first ordered the Sea Bass. The flavor was good, but it was a bit too salty for my taste. The team handled it beautifully -- they immediately took it off the bill with no hesitation, which I really appreciated. I then ordered the Ribeye steak, and wow... super juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Definitely a win and highly recommended! Overall, the food was about a 4.5-star, but the service and atmosphere easily brought the experience to a full 5 stars. Would absolutely come back again -- especially for special gatherings and celebrations.

    Fish tacos
    Melanie G.

    My mom had reservations for 5 of us on a Tuesday at 11:30 (their opening). We were greeted very warmly by one of their hostesses and were told we were in very good hands with our waitress, Tammy. Everyone that served us, and especially Tammy was so kind! Tammy had such a cheerful and positive attitude. She was the best!     I got one of their appetizers as my main, which were the fish tacos. I believe the fish they use changes but on this day happened to be sea bass. There were thinner strips of fish fried in a light tempura batter. I prefer more whole pieces of fish for tacos but it was still good! On top there was a cabbage slaw, pickled onions, a chipotle aioli and a salsa verde on the side. These were great elements that added a freshness to cut through the carbs and fats. I'm also used to my taco tortillas being corn but again, still a great dish.     The mocktail of the day was a blackberry mint lemonade. It seemed a little watered down and could've used a bit more sugar but was pretty good. I also tried some truffle fries which were the perfect balance of crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. The truffle flavor was there but not overly strong. They were good especially for being thick cut. Our table also shared a slice of their French silk pie. The chocolate portion was a little more sweet and heavy than I'm used to for a French silk pie but it was good for a more rich dessert. The Oreo cream it came with was another sweet little addition.     Overall, the food was very well-presented and tasty. And our experience was that much better because of Tammy and the other team members, and even the free photobooth!

For food, we ordered: Gnocchi - really flavorful and honestly could pass as an entrée portion Roasted Artichoke Heart - light, fresh, and a great contrast to the heavier dishes King Salmon - perfectly pan-seared with a lightly crisp exterior and well-seasoned throughout Bone-in pork chop - my boyfriend ordered this and described as super comforting and satisfying. Funny enough, we ran into friends right as we were walking in. They were headed somewhere else nearby, but we convinced them to come back and join us for dessert. We ended up sharing the Chocolate Budino and Lemon Cheesecake--and while the budino was rich and silky, the cheesecake completely stole the show. Overall, great experience. Delicious food, excellent cocktails, and friendly service. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to!

It's been my go-to for 15+ years when I want good food, good vibes, and great ambiance with no trouble. to cut to the chase, we learned the restaurant is now under new [kitchen] management, and to be honest, i wonder if it's private equity in charge now, because literally no one with restaurant experience would've let what happened today happen. For mother's day, with my son and daughter in law having no strong feelings about how we celebrated, I made reservations here a month ago, with my mouth watering for their kobe sliders. We were seated at 1:15p. It was clear from the jump the disorganization for mothers day madness, but we were in good spirits and happy to endure longer than usual wait times. that's what happens when you go out for mother's day. and, my DIL is a server, so she knows what's up. I think our first clue that things were gonna go sideways is when it took till 15 minutes after we were seated to even get menus, waters sometime after that, and 15 minutes after THAT to finally have our order taken. we immediately ordered two drinks and two apps, about 30 minutes after being seated. Just to be clear on two points: we do not at all blame our server for what happened after this; he was clearly overwhelmed with a shitty management team and a too-large section; and, again, we walked in with the expectation that due to a holiday brunch, things would get crazy. So in light of that, I think it's important to just share the timeline: 1:15p seated 1:45p server comes by to take apps and beverage orders 1:55p waters finally delivered 2:10p beverages arrive (55 min after being seated) for ages, we watched others being seated around us (though we noted several tables around us remaining empty as the lobby stacked up with people with reservations waiting to be seated.) it was sometime between 1:35p and 1:50p that my daughter in law started saying that she felt like she should go put on an apron and help them out. she was sitting there telling me and my son how this should be going, and was going nuts watching things go absolutely sideways, telling us everything she could see going wrong and how she'd fix it. of note, at this point, my son and i were just thinking "this is how it goes," but once she explained how all this was going wrong, we were like yeah, wtf. skipping ahead: around 2:20p (more than an hour after we were seated - and note still without our apps!), our server came by for the first time in a minute to take our entree orders and subsequent drink orders. we put them in, and reminded him of our apps orders. he seemed stunned and said, 'oh, i haven't even checked on those, i'm sorry.' he explained what was going on behind the scenes, apologized, told us that two of our three were no longer being served, asked us for replacement orders. i told him, I guess i'll just stick to the calamari as a main, and my son literally told him, "bring me anything." in the meantime, the drinks weren't coming, so after 15 min, my son went to the bar directly and paid for a couple of beers and brought them back to the table within four minutes - so clearly the delay wasn't due to the bar. around 2:50p, my order of calamari finally came out. though the brussels we had also ordered at 1:45p were nowhere to be seen. the calamari was of course ice cold. at that point, i'd had enough. we had all been so patient - brunch/lunch service on mothers day sucks, but we'd been there for OVER 90 MINUTES. WITHOUT FOOD. i grabbed the plate of calamari, went up to the front, was like 'who can i talk to about this,' and they brought out the manager. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY that i am not a karen. even in this, i was polite. "look, i know you guys are in the weeds, but i've waited over an hour for one of the five things we ordered, have been now told two of the things we ordered are not being served, and this came out cold, with five orders still outstanding. please tell me how this will be addressed." at this point, we were still happy to give them the opportunity to correct. the manager looked at me with derision and said, 'i'll talk to someone' and waved me away. i dutifully went back to the table to wait. i mean, we were just hungry; none of us had eaten all day. at this point, we were still assuming all would be rectified, though honestly at that point, we were planning to demand comped lunch and just tip our beleaguered server. as we waited, my DIL called another restaurant who confirmed they had no wait, and we gave the staff 15 extra minutes to rectify, and after no one came by our table at all, much less with food, we all walked out, and everyone watched us do so and they didn't say shit. at least restaurant #2 took care of us, but damn.

One visit we waited over 40 minutes without being acknowledged, another time our order came out wrong, and another time the food arrived cold like it had been sitting for quite a while. Because of that, I honestly did not want to come back tonight. But I was craving a good steak, and after my husband suggested giving 908 another try, I reluctantly agreed. I noticed the filet mignon on the menu paired with broccolini and decided to go for it. From the moment we walked in, the experience felt completely different. The hostess was warm and welcoming and seated us immediately. A young man came over right away with waters and took our drink order, which already surprised us in the best way. Then Alex S came to our table, and he truly made the night exceptional. He was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful in making sure my order was exactly how I wanted it. I mentioned that I didn't want a large piece of butter melting over the steak, and he happily accommodated that request. He even checked on the exact ounce size of the filet for me, which I appreciated. We ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer, and honestly, they were the best Brussels sprouts we've ever had. Perfectly cooked, not drowning in sauce, and absolutely packed with flavor. My 8 oz filet mignon was cooked perfectly medium rare, exactly as ordered. The broccolini was crisp, fresh, and not overly oily. Everything tasted thoughtful, balanced, and worth every dollar. Most importantly, Alex S delivered spectacular service from start to finish. We were genuinely shocked to learn this was his first night shift because he handled the dining room with professionalism, warmth, and confidence far beyond what we expected. Thank you, Alex S, for completely changing our impression of 908. Tonight's experience was excellent, and for the first time, we are actually excited to come back. Thanks again, Jed Dornoff
