    Spicy tuna
    Jennifer P.

    Great atmosphere there are so many beautiful art pieces and the band the Lovelies was playing and they were incredible. Great Shirley temples, the Brussels sprouts tastes very good the edges were crispy and sweet and the spicy ahi tuna was so so good.

    We love everything about this place! It is our family's go-to lunch spot on our trips from LA to San Diego for over ten years. The service is always amazing and friendly and food is fantastic. The best fries, ahi tuna sandwich, lobster and shrimp tacos, burgers, sandwiches and drinks. Elijah and Chelsea thank you for the wonderful service! We will always return here!

    Sean was our server today. We sat at the bar. Completely different experience than two previous times we tried this spot. Everyone was really nice. Good food. I ordered the steak and eggs and my boyfriend got the buffalo cauliflower. Sean looks like he could make drinks with his eyes closed. He was on it. Checked in with us. Brought us drinks, refills, made recommendations. It's a very relaxed vibe. Tons of locals. The place was busy and everyone was having a good time. We will be back for sure.

    Fantastic service at Beach Fire! I came during the later afternoon and enjoyed a meal on the patio. It was such a beautiful day and once it got a little breezy, we got the heaters turned on and it was perfect. The food was delicious too. I highly recommend the cauliflower appetizer!!

    Tonight I was able to be sat right away and it was super cozy right next to the fire place. The fish and chips were good and our waitress was very nice and attentive.

    BBQ Chicken Salad

    My girlfriend and our kids took the trolley down to the beach and on the way back up we decided to try out Beachfire. These times are crazy right now especially for us POC and I am always extra wary when I go out now. The ambiance felt like a total relaxing vacation. I felt like I was dining on the sand. The reggae playing was hitting. The food was very good we started with Calamari which was yummy. I ordered a BBQ chicken salad and it came out just how I like it flavorful and loaded. My girlfriend ordered their chipotle chicken pasta and it was also very tasty and not so heavy on the cream which I personally love. My daughter ate the kids quesadilla which was loaded with cheese and was very big Zoe was a huge fan! My friends daughter ordered the clam chowder which I didn't get to try.I'm a new mom so taking my 19 month old out to restaurants is so nerve wrecking but their outdoor dining deck saved the day. Here is the best part though, our waitress was amazing! Leah if you're reading this THANK YOU! Your customer service skills are top tier I'm a customer service expert myself and I can tell when someone is acting and when they're genuine. You are the real deal! The older ladies at the gallery a few steps away and a couple other judgy surrounding merchants could use all your help. You were the cherry on top of our San Clemente beach day!

    4 stars because I would go back. Some STRONG margaritas and mojitos. Maybe we are just light weights. I enjoyed my ahi tacos, rice was a bit dry. Also enjoyed to s'mores special dessert, wishing for a bit more marshmallow to gramcracker ratio. Sat outside and was able to have my pup with me which is a plus. Good service.

    Went here the other night with my friend and we had a ton of fun. I love the live music and our drinks were really good. Also the bartenders are quick and friendly. I ordered an espresso martini which was yummy.

    Grilled chicken avo melt. My husband enjoyed his meal.

    We went to Beachfire after a show at the community theater across the street. We had reservations and got a table quickly, however we had to wait 30 minutes until the waiter took our order (he was pretty busy and they must've been understaffed for a Saturday evening). I ordered a pineapple express martini and asked to exchange it because it was too dry for me, and the waiter was happy to exchange it (I got a mango margarita which was much better, for my taste). We enjoyed the food very much. Everything came out hot and delicious. The chicken lettuce wraps were probably the best I ever had because of the variety of "add ins" and sauces they give you.

Very slow for a not a busy night of just 2 tables including ours, but we were fine with it. One guy was working both the bar and serving all the tables. My family member left him a standard tip for standard service (15 percent and he is of the older generation and from a different country with different tipping culture), and doesn't even know the new tipping customs of the younger people of 18 to 20 percent. Ten minutes after we left, when we were going to the game room, the waiter approached our group and made a big embarrassing scene in the lobby, demanding to know what was wrong with his service, asking why the tip wasn't 18 to 20 percent like the receipt indicated, and saying things like "I just want to know." He was very aggressive, very confrontational and highly unprofessional. And he handled the situation loudly, publicly, and unprofessionally and scared our children with his rude, aggressive way of speaking. If management wants to speak to him, he had dark brown hair shaved underneath and longer on top, brown eyes, and had a safety pin styled earring in his ear. He was fine during the dinner and we didn't observe any rude behavior and left happy and impressed with the restaurant but aggressively chasing older guests down in front of family, young kids, and other hotel patrons is beyond inappropriate and should be looked into by management.

Just very very casual and not totally comfortable. Food- 3.4/4 out of 5 - I got the Luau plate and LOVED the chicken!! Everyone else was right- that chicken thigh deserves its own plate. I also really enjoyed the coconut pudding/jello thing that came with it and the sausage link. The pulled pork was just okay, not very well seasoned but not bad. The side of "dressed greens" was just some lettuce without dressing on it, and I thought the macaroni salad was fine. The last thing that really disappointed me were the sautéed veggies :/ they were just soo oily and had no seasoning to them at all. I didn't eat any of them or the un-dressed 'salad'. My husband got the chicken katsu plate, he said the chicken katsu was fine but the fries on the side were cold and not crispy, they were kind of chalky in the mouth and didn't taste fresh. Some parts were definitely a 3/5 but my chicken thigh was so good and the portions are *huge* so I feel like they deserve a 4/5? All in all, I think I'd come back if I wanted to go out with someone but save some money and we'd split one of the plates (the portions really are huge).

During that time, the bartender appeared more focused on socializing and engaging with certain patrons than attending to orders. From where I was seated, I had a clear view of the bar area, and the level of attentiveness to customers seemed inconsistent with what I would expect from a professional environment. When my pizza finally arrived, it was unfortunately overcooked to the point of being inedible--completely burnt and very hard. This was frustrating, especially given the wait time and the simplicity of the order. (See photo attached). I'm sharing this feedback because I believe there's an opportunity to improve both service standards and overall attentiveness. ****This establishment has had approximately 7 health code violations which is one way too many to begin with. (Listed under their Yelp! Reviews). Customers should feel confident that their orders are being handled with care and that staff are focused on providing a positive experience. I hope this is taken constructively, as I'd like to see this establishment live up to a higher standard.

It was a little chilly to fully enjoy the big open space of the big main room and the large windows. The big doors are likely open on a warm summer night. The design elements gave an intentional feel as though you are eating in a friend's Italian garden at a farm house table. Boxes of wine bottles stacked neatly against the wall added to the charm of a "local Italian business" nothing pretentious about this place. We had fast and friendly service and our food was prepared quite quickly despite a nearly full restaurant. Everyone in our party loved their menu choice but I only got to photograph my Margherita pizza and our surprise birthday dessert. The pizza was perfectly cooked with a nice wood smoked scent to the slightly chewy crust. A few of the bubbles on the crust were also a nice blackened char that added to the overall flavor but didn't detract from the sweetness of the sauce. My mouth is watering just thinking about eat bite as I write this. Our server knew we were celebrating two birthdays and brought us a surprise Panna Cotta with fresh berries and a sparkler to top it off. Surprisingly, I have never had Panna Cotta before and it is such a lovely treat. Not overly sweet and something everyone can enjoy. We had a pleasant evening and will definitely return. We look forward to tasting more items from the menu but as a Margherita pizza lover myself, I will find it hard to stray from that selection now that I've tasted how fresh it is! Thanks Buona Forchetta for welcoming our families into your "home" tonight.
