Heard they have the best lobster roll in the nation so of course, the little food critic that I am…read morehad to come check this place out for myself. They give you the option of either a 4oz or 6oz, priced at $34 and $49. It's a Connecticut style roll made with buttered lobster on a toasted brioche bun. It also comes with a side of fries and you can choose your choice of seasoning, "Chef's way" or "Maine style." The roll is pretty expensive but honestly worth it in my opinion because of how much lobster they pack into it. The brioche bread was perfectly toasted. The lobster was fresh and buttery without making the bread soggy, even after pouring extra melted butter on top. This is definitely the best lobster roll I've had.

Also, he was extremely rude to my father when he was trying to pay via InKind. He claimed that they were not using InKind anymore and couldn't take our InKind payment, even though they were still on the app. The reason why we went here was to use our InKind benefits, which were available here according to InKind. He then claimed that it was my father's responsibility to contact InKind about this issue and that it was our problem??? No accountability at all from the manager. Grow up. The food is pretty good. Our waitress was also great. But there are major issues besides that.

But this last experience completely exceeded expectations. I brought a group of eight for a birthday, and not only did everyone love the food, the entire experience was incredible. They created such a warm, fun atmosphere and really leaned into celebrating the birthday in a way that felt so so genuine. It honestly felt like we were at home, just relaxing and enjoying ourselves, which is rare to find when dining out with a bigger group. What stood out most was how effortless they made everything feel, from service to timing to the overall vibe. It turned what could've been just another dinner into something really memorable. I highly recommend this spot for a casual lunch or dinner anytime but if you're planning a group celebration, don't overlook it. It might not be the first place that comes to mind for something like that, but it absolutely should be!! Thank you OC Fish Grill see you soon!

Recently had a group lunch with a team of 10 on a Friday at opening and didn't want to go to the…read morespectrum. Matt (manager) was a rock star! He really took care of our group. I called a week before to see if we could make a reservation for the patio area, and upon arrival the table was setup and ready to go. This spot was perfect for our team as it had plenty of parking (we went during a week day before the club studio or orange theory rush). Our group had no issues opening up a tab and ordering food at the register upon arrival. The menu variety was great, even with our group that had various dietary restrictions (nut allergy, gluten free, seafood allergy, vegetarian, etc.). Such a great experience with tasty food and drinks. Would recommend for other corp lunches if you want to try something different from the usual spectrum offerings and do not need the traditional order at your table style.

We love people that anticipate their customer's needs ahead of time! Then they were like, "We are going to sweep the floors, don't worry you can stay." Which I thought was really thoughtful of them to want us to not feel rushed. We were there a little before closing. They also checked in twice to see if we were okay. Honestly didn't expect this kind of thoughtfulness from a fast food place. The staff needs to get promoted to some fine dining restaurants or something. lol Food: Ceviche 3/5: It was a little fishy for my taste and the tortilla was healthy and wheat-y. I didn't think the flavors together were very good. Should have definitely got the fish and chips, or the fried stuff. I will come back next time to try.

Negatives: The service here is the worst. After seating you there is no more service. I've been here twice and both times I had to get up and go to their bar area to ask for the server or coffee, and still took another 20 or so minutes for help to arrive. Their coffee also very bad, like mixing powder into water. Today we came for Mother's day and no where on their site or yelp or booking said they only have a buffet. It was a very bad surprise. I hate buffet and had I know would have booked us for somewhere else. According to the server many people ended up leaving once they found it was buffet style when they arrived. Both time I left proper tip as if we got proper service. I don't like ruining my meal by ending or interrupting it with complaint to the manager. But tip undeserved give lack of service. I hope the owner reads this and does something about the service either trainer the servers better or hire more. I would like to come back for the environment but that service in inexcusable. Note it was not very busy wither time.

I walked up to the hostess podium and I was ignored. Then I said that I was checking in for 5:30p reservations and the hostess said " that's gonna be much later than. I'll probably get your party in closer to 6:30p." Obviously I was upset by this response since we drove over an hour to this restaurant for the sole purpose of a celebration of life. If reservations were going to be ignored then I would not have bothered making them in a timely matter as I was instructed to do by the organizer of the evening. I basically got the brush off like there was nothing they could do since people were not leaving (including walk-ins) after a 90 min dining limit was posted outside. I was very peeved about this response and said clearly that is not my problem yet I am being penalized. My first encounter with the hostess carried throughout my visit. Our servers name was Linda and she took our drink order as soon as we were seated, however it did seem to take a while for our drinks to arrive. Apologies were made again for the wait but at this point it was clear there was gonna be an issue throughout the meal. I ordered a Caprese salad with brussels sprouts to share family style .When my salad arrived there was no basil. It was just mozzarella and tomatoes, balsamic and olive oil with a dried herb sprinkled on top. When I asked my server if this is how the Caprese is served she said yes. I never had a Caprese with no leaves of basil. Needless to say it's not what I wanted nor expected. My sprouts were dry and overcooked. Linda was truly trying to be accommodating. I could tell she is working very hard to satisfy our group despite the fact the restaurant was packed. Linda was great. We decided to share key lime pie and the warm butter cake w/ ice cream and raspberry sauce. The key lime pie was fine. The warm butter cake was a bit different as it had a hard sugar top. Ice cream with raspberry sauce on the side as well as below. It was too much sauce for my taste. More like a jelly doughnut. My blueberry pomegranate margarita was the best part of my meal. There were so many things that may seem small but were enhanced because I was already upset. The fact the restaurant overly committed and couldn't handle the amount of people was a real issue.

I have tried the salmon plate and chicken kabob plate and the serving size is just about right for one person. They have a nice outdoor seating area that is dog friendly. I would never pay $16+ full price for this plate but if you can snag a deal like BOGO it's not bad.
