    Fish Tacos
    Daphne B.

    Love the revamp. Although I did like the rainforest cafe decor of the previous Forrest Cafe. The cafe has definitely gotten a complete face lift in the food taste department. You can definitely tell the quality of ingredients they are now using and love that they are making sauces and other items in house. The seafood options with both fish and shrimp tacos and shrimp po boys were good. Batter was very light. Would have loved to have seen a local salmon option as that is what this area is known for. Staff are always lovely and friendly. Excited for the tastes coming out of this kitchen!

    It's a good location but the food quality was just ok. It was quite pricy and everything was ordinary.

    My wife and I stopped by mid week in late April for dinner. We were promptly greeted and taken to…read moreour table. The staff at Trinidad Bay Eatery were all exceptionally kind and appeared to genuinely engage with their guests. The atmosphere is exactly what one would hope for in a coastal eatery. We ordered clam chowder, fish and chips, and a chicken ciabatta sandwich. The chowder was excellent and among the top chowders I've ever enjoyed. The fish and chips were plentiful and the quality and thickness of the fish were unmatched. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her sandwich and fries with a California branded malt vinegar. We HIGHLY recommend stopping by!

    I really wanted to try this place because multiple locals recommended it. But when a restaurant…read moresays it's dog-friendly and then for two days straight there are no dog-friendly seating options available, it does make you wonder what "dog-friendly" really means. Okay, fine -- maybe dogs aren't allowed in certain areas, not a big deal. So we figured we'd just order the food to go instead. Nope. Two days in a row we were told they couldn't do takeout. At that point, it just felt like there was zero flexibility or willingness to work with customers. That's really disappointing, especially for a place with such a good reputation. Unfortunately, the lack of flexibility is what lost us.

The food itself was pretty good overall, although the fried fish had an actual pool of grease at the bottom of the basket. It seemed like there was only one waiter on staff, and that he would really rather be doing something else. He mostly avoided the tables, walking very slowly when it was time to take the order of the table next to us. He then slowly walked right past our table, as if we didn't exist. At no point did anyone check in on us. Our water was long gone, and there wasn't even anybody to ask to come refill it. They never gave us utensils either, so we had to eat everything with our bare hands. Eventually, the waiter sauntered over, and said "are you guys done?" I pointed out that we never got utensils, and asked for more water. He eventually returned with both, and then disappeared for another 20 minutes. Even when we told the busser that we were ready to pay the check, it took a long time for our wait or to reappear. Waiting tables isn't an easy job. I know that from experience. The food was pretty decent, so it seems like the kitchen has their act together. But the front of the house really seemed like they wanted to be *anywhere* else.
