The interior has a lot of local art works of Avalon and Catalina island giving it a nice ambiance. I ordered the fish and chips meal for $24. It came with 3 large fried filets, fries and slaw. It was a good tasting meal with the fish and fries hot and fresh to counter the cool and tasty cole slaw. The table service was very good too. I would be happy to return here.

Drinks: Dirty Martini 2/5 Food: - LEMON GRASS CHICKEN CRUNCH SALAD 4/5: This salad was incredible. The dressing was so flavorful. My only complaint is that it was drenched in dressing so a bit too salty and soggy. I would just ask for the dressing on the side next time. - PRIME RIB 4/5: We chose a baked potato and brussel sprouts as our two sides. The baked potato was on the drier side, and the brussels were small. The prime rib itself was good. Meaty cut and pretty tender. I wish the horseradish had more of a bite though. - FRESH CATCH OF THE DAY 3.5/5: I opted for the fresh catch booked with a lemon and garlic sauce alongside rice pilaf and asparagus. Flavors were great but it was slightly overcooked so a bit on the dry side.

We came to Catalina Island for a weekend getaway and celebrating my friend's birthday dinner here…read more We didn't have reservations since they don't accept them for parties of fewer than 8, so we decided to walk in a little early. The restaurant was already busy with dinners, but we really appreciated them accommodating us! Overall, we enjoyed the food and had a good experience. The only downside was that we felt a little rushed, probably because it's a busy restaurant near the beach. Of course, camera eats first! I'll be sharing the food pics i ordered. The food was really good and delicious! I'd definitely come back next time I'm on the island. Thank you for accommodating us and helping make our friend's birthday dinner enjoyable!

We were a large party of 14 adults and 2 children. Before entering, we specifically asked if children were allowed inside and were told they were, as long as they stayed seated at a table and did not sit at the bar. Based on that, we decided to come in. Some of our group had already ordered drinks at the bar, and we were given two tables.. Unfortunately, there was some kind of miscommunication with one of the servers. He apparently understood that part of our group was only going to sit at the table and not order anything. In reality, our entire group was there to order drinks; we simply weren't all ordering at the exact same time.. Instead of clarifying the misunderstanding, the server became extremely rude and kicked members of our party out while the rest of us were already ordering drinks. The way the situation was handled was completely unnecessary and unprofessional... It escalated so quickly that nobody wanted to argue or make a bigger scene, so the people who had not yet ordered simply left.. What makes this even more frustrating is that this was a large group of adults who were planning to drink.. With 14 adults and only two children, the restaurant easily lost hundreds of dollars in potential drink sales because of how the situation was handled... To be fair, the bartenders who helped us with our first round were actually nice and friendly.. Unfortunately, the interaction with the server completely ruined the experience for us. The drinks themselves also weren't anything particularly special... We probably should have asked to speak with a manager at the time, but everything happened so quickly that we just decided it wasn't worth the hassle.. We came in excited to check out a place we'd heard so much about, but unfortunately left extremely disappointed. Based on this experience, we won't be returning...

Both bowls were fresh, flavorful, and delicious! The best part was enjoying our lunch with a beautiful view of the water. Good food and a great view? It's hard to complain about that! The staff was super friendly, and the relaxed atmosphere made it a great spot for lunch. Everything was just what we needed after checking into the hotel.

During the call I greatly appreciated the fact that the date was clarified more than one time due to the no refund policy, I verified through my app and we secured the date. It was also brought to my attention that the beach was quite rocky and that water shoes were a must, we had just purchased water sneakers and opted for one pair of shoes. I did warn our group, some chose not to listen and it definitely was a miserable time for them. Unfortunately I do not recall the woman's name that secured the booking but definitely LOVED AND APPRECIATED her valuable insight and making sure the date was correct. Walk from the port, was beautiful we used Apple Map to avoid hills. Our party consists of several individuals with disabilities and we had to move slow. As huge "boats and hoes" fans we were absolutely delighted to see the big blue sign that said Catalina Wine Mixer. That really was a cool greeting. As you entered under it, it was lined with stunning palm trees on the left and the gorgeous ocean on the right. We could see all the cabanas and knew we were headed in the right direction. The views just kept getting prettier and prettier. We saw lots of people bustling around in yellow shirts, and seen different buildings. I walked up to one and asked where we checked in at. I was guided to a yellow hut over there. Checked in with ease and walked across the super thick sand to our Presidential cabana. It was very comfortable and cozy looking and the view was absolutely breathtaking taking. During my booking I asked for best view. We secured the cabana in the front on the corner. WOW!!! We noticed Evian bottled water on ice in a bucket. Towels were brought, one for each person. We had enough seating including two loungers. We were brought our two "smoothies". Which were never tasted, We only showed up with two people to start because our port day happened to require reservations to get off, which is no fault of the beach club, the rest of our party couldn't get off until noon. They arrived about 1 pm. When they arrived, we had to wait for a long time for Julian to circle back. We ordered 14 Coronas to start, everyone was ready for some drinks and some water due to the heat before eating. We walked down to the beach and hit the water. BOY WERE WE EVER SO GRATEFUL FOR OUR WATER SHOES!! The water was super refreshing, but due to the waves it was unsafe for myself, I only have use of one arm, and the waves were pretty big, coupled with the drop off under the water I was not able to get in, I knew I wouldn't have been able to get out. Again NO FAULT OF THE CLUB. The rest of our party was definitely able to enjoy it! Julian circled back with our bucket of beers and we ordered two drinks for my daughter in law, I don't recall what they were, but she loved them and sucked them down, stating they were very tasty with a good pour! We did wait for a long time to be brought our drinks and for the circling back. Our first conversation with Julian was that it was too far of a walk for several of party to get back and how do we get a taxi or a ride, our service wasn't working and we were told about the WiFi, but that was hit and miss. Our carrier is AT&T and we found it difficult to get out. We were offered to have a taxi called or he told us he could call his girlfriend. NO PROBLEM, we were never told about the free shuttle back to town. We were up in the circle area waiting for our ride when the free shuttle pulled up and we hopped in because we waited for half an hour. During our walk up to the area to be picked up we noticed an area with showers, which we used to clean the sand out of our shoes and to wash the salt water off. The restrooms were clean. There was also an area to rent tubes, shop, purchase gifts.. it was very nice! At 3 pm we asked for the platter that came with our booking, which I felt like should have been brought and not asked for before we leave. Would we return? Most likely yes, just hoping for speedier service without having to ask for what comes with the booking and definitely making use of the free shuttle or actually being able to get ahold of a taxi to get to and from. The rest of our party noticed the free shuttle sign and waited for approximately half hour and it never came so they walked it.

Unlike the marinara salsa, the red sauce smothering the chips was rich and smokey and full of flavor - they were absolutely delicious.
