We came in for a casual date night and had a great time! Prime time (6 on a Friday) the wait was…read moreonly about 15-20 minutes with plenty of room at the bar. There was plenty of seating on the shady patio, but it was really hot outside, so we opted to wait for a table inside. We had a drink and watched the NBA finals on the TVs (there was no sound so it wasn't noisy). I tried the Mustang Sally cocktail and it was well balanced and delicious! We were seated for dinner pretty quickly. The only problem I had was deciding what to order. The luau shrimp salad? Meatball sub? I finally decided on the lobster mac and cheese. While the portion wasn't large, it was delicious! Creamy and mild with fresh lobster (not fishy) and garlicy breadcrumbs. My husband got the ribeye and was thin but large with great seasoning and veggies. I'm not a big steak fan but I really liked it. We ended up grabbing some beignets to go for the kids, which were really tasty and came with 3 dipping sauces (our favorite was the Berry, although we ended up eating most of them without sauce). The atmosphere was upscale, but very casual, quiet and fun. We saw families with young children, couples on dates, and friends enjoying a meal together. It was the perfect vibe that we were looking for, comfortable, but classy. And the food was high-quality and tasty. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I visited yesterday to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, the experience…read moregot off to a disappointing start. Upon entering, the hostess with the brown curly hair was noticeably rude and unwelcoming, which isn't the first impression you'd hope for when celebrating a special occasion. The food, however, was outstanding and was definitely the highlight of the evening. Every dish we ordered was well-prepared and delicious. Service was a mixed experience. While our server was polite, the service was quite slow throughout the meal, despite the restaurant being fairly empty at the time. Overall, the excellent food helped make up for some of the service issues, but the rude greeting and slow service took away from what should have been a memorable anniversary dinner. I hope management addresses these concerns, as the kitchen is clearly doing a great job.

We have been here a couple of times now, once with our parents and the other time with friends…read more Interestingly enough, my husband said he thought the portions. Have gotten smaller since the last time we came. I will say that I'm realizing the taco size is a bit on the small side. To really get full (especially for those who let's say didn't have a big lunch) it would be good to get 2-4 tacos for dinner. We have only tired tacos here from the Quesabirria to the octopus, roadkill to the cauliflower, and the al pastor and some other ones. So far they were tasty, some more salty than the others. I would say one of my favorite items is the elote, I recommend getting the whole corn that looks charred vs the bowl. The bowl doesn't do it justice and tastes like your eating corn from a can; there's no charred pieces. The chicharronnes appetizer was a good touch it tasted fresh and hot. The cucumber pineapple agua Fresca was also good, try it with Tajin on the cup. We had churro with ice cream for my mom-in-law's bday and wish they had other fun dessert options to share. One critique about our server was that he was not as attentive to our request: I called beforehand to let them know about the birthday and when we were done eating he hands us the check. So I had to go and talk with him; even after that he comes back with the plates for dessert which ended up no longer being a surprise which we had initially wanted it to be. And they also do NOT sing happy birthday here which is a bummer, but nonetheless we sang for our mom. Would we come here again, maybe but we may check out the Roseville location.

We all enjoyed the meal and the great selection of draft beer.

When my wife and I walked into this restaurant first thing we noticed right off the bat, was the…read moreatmosphere and the decorations. We were then greeted by an amazing Hostess who then asked how many and where would we like to sit. We said that it was 2 and that we wanted a Table or a Half Table / Half Booth. We sat down and then we waited about 2 or 3 minutes and then our waitress came over and asked what we wanted to drink. Being that the place had Pepsi products we asked for Pepsi and then a little bit time afterwards we got our drinks as we continued looking over the menu. After a few minutes we ordered our Entrees we got our Wedge Salads and let me tell you that our Wedge salads were delicious. It wasn't long after that our entrees came but let me tell you the Wedge Salads were delicious especially after we asked for extra Blue Cheese dressing. Being that my wife ordered the Wagyu Teriyaki Sirloin w/Mushrooms and I ordered a Mushroom Burger we then waited a couple of minutes after for our food to get cooked and come out. The whole time our waitress was very attentive and kept asking if there was anything we needed or if she could refill our drinks. About 5 to 10 minutes later our food arrived and not only was my Hamburger hot, but my wifes Wagyu Teriyaki Steak was delicious as well. I know I tried a piece of it while I cut it for her, being that she is left handed. Overall everything was absolutely delicious and being first timers at this restaurant we thoroughly enjoyed our food, the service and the experience we had while eating here. Thank you Land Ocean for giving 2 first time customers a beautiful experience. Knowing that Wagyu beef is by far top grade meat, I'll be back to eat some myself. After taking a bite out of her steak, the meat just literally melted in your mouth. I cant just give this place a 5 I'd give it a 10 being that everything was wonderful.

My parents, best friend, and I were seated promptly after I checked in for our dinner reservation…read more The restaurant energy was high, which is not a surprise, because each time I have dined with friends here in the past, it's been full of people, which is a testimony to their excellent food, drinks, and service! For starters, we ordered French bread with salted butter, calamari with peppers and onions, and beef Wellington. Wow, ALL of these appetizers are exceptional! The fried onions tossed in with the calamari were deliciously sweet! The sauce of the beef Wellington was creamy and the puff pastry hugging the mushroom and beef was the cherry on top for this appetizer! Adam was our server who is kind, funny, attentive, and helped us with all of our menu questions. He checked on us often, making sure we had everything we needed and to make sure everything we ordered looked good and tasted good. Their other staff who brought our food, cleared plates and glasses, and checked on us, added to the excellent Land Ocean service! I asked for the top three menu entrees customers order and with this, Adam convinced me to order the Macadamia Nut Crusted Chilean Sea Bass with coconut jasmine rice and soy-ginger glaze. I ordered spinach sub, instead of the asparagus, due to dietary restrictions. OMG my first fork full brought me back to Honolulu, HI! The macadamia nuts were candied on top of the sea bass, making this the BEST sea bass with macadamia nut dish I have ever eaten outside of HI! My mom took one bite and decided to order this plate for herself because it is THAT rich, sweet, and perfectly balanced with the flavors of the spinach, rice, and sea bass. The sea bass is extremely flaky, to add to why this is my new favorite dish in Land Ocean! My parents gave me their roasted chicken leftovers to take home, since this entree is with generous portions, so I was spoiled with Land Ocean for a meal at home the next day. The chicken and mashed potatoes are so savory to the point that I ate every piece of meat I could from the bone! My parents came from out of town to visit. They praised Adam for his outstanding service and raved about the ambiance and taste and presentation of our Land Ocean dinner we enjoyed!

A lot of people rave about their fries if you're a fry connoisseur. We may be back to try again in the future, because the food was good, but if you're looking for a budget friendly dinner, this may not be the place.

It's a very nice place, nothing fancy, the people were very friendly They had a very large menu of all kinds of different items, I decided to go for a bento. The spicier items on the menu have a listing next to the item ranging from one to three peppers. I decided to try the honey chicken. It had one pepper next to it on the menu. I asked my server how spicy it was, and he said not very spicy. He was right. It was a wonderful barbecue chicken, the chicken was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The honey gave it just a little bit of a sweet, without overpowering it. The sauce that came on the side with the chicken, I put a little bit on top, and it really added to the flavor. It had just a tiny bit of a "kick" to it, well within what I like for spicy. The sweet of the honey sauce, and the spicy played absolutely wonderful together. The rice was nice and tender. , I mixed some of it into the chicken, and it was a very nice bite. The veggies and the salad were very fresh, I'm not sure what the dressing was on the salad, but it was a bit creamy, and it was delicious. I had enough food left over for a second meal. The price was very reasonable, especially since I got two meals out of it. I want to come back and try more items. Thank you.

So my wife and I decided to venture out and try something new instead of Door Dashing our food. So…read morewe drove to E Bidwell to try something new and we are so glad we did. The reason why I am giving this place a 5 Star is because from the time we walked into the Business until we left, its been a very great experience. We walked in and we were very warmly greeted and then we were then taken to our table where we sat down and from the time we sat down the ambiance was very nice and the decorations inside were just as beautiful. So after 5 minutes we got waited on and we were asked on what drinks we wanted and my wife and I ordered a Dr Pepper. Being that there was so much on the menu to order we kept asking our Waiter to please keep checking on us because we werent 100% sure as to what we wanted. Well after about 10 minutes we finally realized that we knew what we wanted to eat. We first started off with Appetizers and we ordered the Mushroom Bomb and Crab Wonton's. We put that order in and then about 5 minutes later the waiter came back and aksed what we wanted to eat. We both decided on getting the California Roll and The Rookie Sushi Roll. We both began talking and just enjoying the environment and let me tell you I have seen Restaurant Employees work as a team but the people at this place were completely in unison every time. You could tell that they all had camaraderie amongst them because they interacted very well with each other. The 2 people that I want to recognize because they both took great care of us was Seven and Bella. When Seven was off taking care of other guests, Bella would be right there working side by side making sure that the guests in their section were taken care of. The California Roll came out and so did The Rookie and let me tell you when I eat Sushi, I have to have my Soy Sauce and my Chopsticks, thats the only way to eat that. The California Roll was absolutely delicious and for the first time ever eating a Teriyaki Chicken Sushi Roll, was delicious as well. From the beginning to the end everything was wonderful. I'm so excited about this place that I am going to bring my "Lunch Group" here the next time we meet so they can enjoy Bento Box just as much as my wife and I did.

I made sure I was there at 9:45 am on a Saturday. I was first in line!!!! **Pro-tip** bring a lawn chair so you aren't standing for over an hour and a half. Go take a peak behind the business and you can see through the fence and see their 2 Offset Smokers and their Rotisserie BBQ. The line really starts to grow wrapping around the building. It is fun talking to other like minded folks. We love us some Texas Style BBQ!!! They have an ice chest they put out in middle of the line filled with complimentary ice cold water bottles - nice touch! They run a really organized and fast moving line with many counter employees slinging the Proteins and Sides. Everyone truly seems to enjoy working here and it shows. The Customer Service is amazing! My beautiful platter consisted of perfectly cooked Brisket, Ribs, Turkey, Pork Belly Burnt Ends, and amazing Sausages made in House. For the sides I got the Mac & Cheese, Greens, and baked beans. I also ordered 2 pieces of corn bread. I wanted to eat my food nice, hot, and fresh so I took a spot at a small table. The Pitmaster/Owner is a very personable guy. He is super friendly and was thankful for me coming. He talked about the process and how much time it takes to get everything ready for service. It really shows. I can't wait to go back!!!!
