London Chippy has the best fish and chips in OC that I've tried! For $16, you get two big pieces of…read morecod on top of thick cut fries and tartar sauce. Malt vinegar is also available. I like that the fish is lightly battered so it's not as greasy. The fries were good too, if not a little on the salty side. I wanted to eat them all but had to stop myself from clogging my arteries further. Oddly enough, they also have Mexican food (which I am kind of fascinated by). Maybe I'll branch out and try that next time. Maybe. There's covered outdoor seating in TRADE. Parking can be challenging if you come during a week day during lunch.

Came here for lunch on a Friday around 1:30pm. I had never been to this plaza by the airport before…read moreand was a little worried about parking based on other reviews, but there were plenty of open spots when I arrived. The storefront is almost hidden on the right side of the food hall and can be easy to miss if you're not looking for it. There was no wait, and I was able to order right away. They gave me a beeper, and I was able to find a nearby table without any trouble. I ordered the Fish N Chips, which was a generous portion. It came with two large pieces of fish that were nicely fried. The batter wasn't too thick, and the fish itself was tender rather than overly flaky or hard. The texture and overall quality were good, but it was a bit lacking in flavor, even with malt vinegar and tartar sauce. The steak fries were crispy and not overly salty, which I enjoyed. Overall, the meal was average. With limited fish and chip options nearby, it's still a decent choice if you're in the area and craving it.

I had reservations for 5:30. My family checked in at 5:15 and they were told there would be a…read moredelay. When I arrived at 5:20 I checked in myself. 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.

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.

Where should I start! Positives: The location is very…read morepeaceful, nice view of the golf course, humble and pretty. Perfect place for brunch. The food is good too. 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.

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.

The food looks great in pics, few folks in the group said they would maybe try the restaurant again if they were around. We all left hungry after ordering multiple apps with entrees and 3 rounds of drinks. We expected better service overall

Tried other fried fish places, but I always return here as none of them can compare.

Normally this comes with an Oyster but another Scallop was substituted as I don't care for Oysters... about the only type of seafood I don't care for. I did think the batter for the Calamari was too spicy. I had "wooder" to drink. Overall I was very satisfied with the meal. Well done H Salt. There was one all gender washroom which was not immaculate but was satisfactory. I was glad to see that paper towels were available. I have a bone to pick about the personal appearance of the employees at this establishment. I saw that the guys working at this establishment failed to tuck their shirts in. I consider that to be highly unprofessional so I am deducting one point as this is something I am OCD about. I was glad to see Pepsi was available though I didn't have any this visit and I was happy to learn that refills are free. If I was to assign a letter grade as is done in school, this establishment would get a solid B.

This place isn't popular enough!…read more We walked here after enjoying a fun day looking at the pet farm, winning some prizes at the fair, and built an appetite! Jack o lantern fair was just a few blocks away but we were craving seafood and we decided on Seafood 1555. Oh my gosh. We shared a steak burrito and two octopus& shrimp tacos & it was grilled to perfection. They also had 7 types of salsa as well as the fresh one they make on site. I mean I need to come back and order again because it's worth it all! Just walk behind the parking lot when you enter the church, it's behind the car repairs. And they make it looks like a farmers market with about 3-4 businesses serving food and desserts :) Service was amazing they asked if we needed any thing and we were the only customers remaining so they were patient and didn't rush us at all. Super kind cook. Pop up chairs, canopies, and beautiful dishes were served. Don't think twice. Go order some stellar seafood tacos today!!

Seafood 1555 absolutely knocked it out of the park…read more The customer service was truly off the charts--warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. You can feel that they care, and it makes the whole experience even better. The shrimp tacos were loaded--generous, fresh, and insanely flavorful. Every bite was satisfying, not skimpy in the slightest, and perfectly balanced. The kind of tacos you think about later and immediately want again. And don't sleep on the chips and salsa. So many places treat it as an afterthought, but here it was very, very good--fresh, flavorful, and the perfect start to the meal. Great food, generous portions, and standout service. Seafood 1555 is a must-visit and an easy recommendation. We'll absolutely be back.
