Lobster Taco
Jeannie M.

Food was delicious, service was good and atmosphere was casual and relaxed. They have indoor/outdoor options and had a performer (person with a guitar) starting around 5 or so, that definitely added to the ambiance. Happy hour pricing was awesome! This is the "bar" that sits side by side with the Original Fish Company. A more casual and lively cousin if you will.

Beet and pistachio appetizer
Carmen D.

Came in on a Friday for a quick bite and was impressed by their menu items. I'd been here before but I always tried the same thing (Blue Prawn Pasta that's AMAZING), so this time I switched things up. I opted for an appetizer with beets & pistachio, spicy cod sliders, and the Maine lobster taco. All three were delicious but the spicy cod sliders were my favorite. They were a combination of spicy and savory all in one. Staff were friendly and they had live music that livened up the ambiance. Cute spot for a date night!

Check
Let's 2.

Ordered the fish sandwich & fries. My wife got the grilled shrimp and beet salad. I thought my fish sandwich tasted a little strange, but I ate it. I thought it was how a fancy fish sandwich was supposed to taste. The fries were good. By the time our check came I noticed that my stomach was upset. We went to Katella Deli to pickup dessert, I couldn't wait to run in and use their bathroom. Yes, I was sick. My wife removed the cheese from her salad because she said it didn't taste right. She also said her salad had too much vinegar. She left 3/4 of her salad uneaten. After our table was cleared and we were waiting for our check, they came with our basket of bread that we realized we were supposed to receive. For almost $80 we got a FISH SANDWICH, SALAD, COFFEE, COKE, TIP & UPSET STOMACH.

Halibut (spicy)
Julie L.

The best part of date night is trying twice the items! Haha The recommended dish was the $42 halibut which came macadamia crusted or hot (server said it was like a Nashville hot chicken sandwich). The macadamia crusted halibut with cream corn salsa and a blood orange glaze was delicious but I was bummed it was a smidge of decorative sauce. The fish was perfectly cooked & a large portion size. The hot was equally tasty and I ate the crunchy corners off two edges when my husband was in the bathroom. Delicious! The World Famous clam chowder was good but nothing mind blowing. Worth texting home to! :) $10 cup or $13 bowl. Spicy tuna on crunchy rice was delicious but small, but the day after I'm craving it again. Dang. Drinks were cold and strong. Lighting was dim. Service was prompt and I couldn't have asked for more. 5 stars!

Fresh Verlasso Salmon
Johny L.

Very accommodating on a busy Friday night for my 92 years old father, away from the loud music. Switch it up the food this time, order butter poach shrimp sandwich. Packed with shrimp and perfectly cooked Fresh salmon for the wife and father in law

Watermelon basil cocktail
Jeff T.

My wife and I came here on a Saturday night. The restaurant was very busy and bustling with activity, but we were able to get a table right away. It is a casual place where locals go to get a good meal. Our server Ollie was amazing. She was so pleasant and attentive and made for a nice evening. We started with some really good cocktails, and the fried calamari appetizer, which was very tasty. My wife had the yellowfin tuna special, and I had the halibut with a lemon sauce which was delicious. To finish we had the bananas foster. The patio was very loud, but my wife and I were still able to have a conversation and hear one another. We were also able to hear the wonderful guitar player and the unique renditions of popular tunes. All in all a great Saturday night out.

Chocolate mousse
Stevo O.

The staff here are very nice and friendly and made no mistakes on our order. The fish is so fresh and the lobster was decadent, as it was easy to pull off the meat from the tail, in addition to my medium rare steak, which I ended up taking home. Because of the super nice day, we chose dining in the patio and was perfectly happy with the live music, food and dessert of chocolate. The food reminded me of the way a restaurant should be and provided the special service of a high-end restaurant. On the weekends, try the brunch, which ends at two, or how about happy hour that starts at 3 PM. Overall, a good time was had by all!

Fresh Alaskan Halibut
Marcas E.

Went here for our anniversary dinner and the food and drinks were amazing. Such great service and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Would definitely come back again

Pasta that was on the specials
Victoria A.

Came in here because I was seriously craving fried fish and seafood. The vibe is cute-- we sat outside, and there was live music. It was definitely on the louder side, but still a fun atmosphere. Service was great and attentive the whole time. We started with the fried shrimp corn dogs, and they just weren't our vibe. Not crunchy enough for me, and honestly it made me crave an actual corn dog instead lol. The ceviche, though, was delicious and super fresh. They also bring out bread if you ask, and it was yummy. For my entrée, I ordered the fish sandwich, and it unfortunately fell apart the second I picked it up. Flavor was okay, but structurally... not it lol. My husband got the pasta special, and he loved it. Cleaned the entire plate and said he could've eaten more. Overall, cute place with great service, a fun vibe, and a couple standout dishes--but a few things missed the mark for me. I'd come back to try something different!

Crispy Icelandic Cod Sandwich
Alex A.

Went for the 2nd time and still had the same great experience. Seated at the covered patio with enough heater as it is raining. Service was great. Live music by Manuel which was great. He mostly sang 70s and 80s. This time I tried the cod sandwich - portion was huge and it was juicy. Calamari was light and crispy.

Julie Y.

Hubby I dined here recently for lunch on a weekend. Place was quiet for a Saturday afternoon & the Patio seating was pretty empty so we sat outside. Service was attentive & great. We started off with cocktails which has always been solid since we've been here many times throughout the years. I had the grilled shrimp & beet salad for the first time & it was good. The salad was fresh & shrimp was seasoned & cooked well. Hubby really enjoyed his cheeseburger. I had a few bites & angus beef was super tender & juicy! The bacon was nice & crisp. The Swiss cheese melted evenly on top of the meat. The brioche bun was so soft & all the condiments blended well together.

Salmon teriyaki glaze lunch special
Adrianna V.

Food was fresh and perfectly seasoned! I over did it with the fresh cracked pep! But still great. I had the salmon teriyaki glaze special. First time here but I have had better teriyaki for less. Maybe this wasn't the right thing to order. I may give them a try again. I did have the clam chowder and wasn't too pleased. Its a neat restaurant and service was great. Definitely a place to try for dinner.

Bianca S.

Service was great. Live music outside, heaters for chilly nights, clam chowder is excellent. Mushroom appetizer with sourdough rolls was excellent.

After we graduated, we promised to have a little reunion here as adults when we were old enough to drink. This little reunion happened recently. My little sister, who is 17, knew I was meeting my friends for dinner and asked if she could come. Since I knew we would be drinking, I called the restaurant ahead of time to ask if she could sit with us since she wouldn't be drinking. They said no. If we were drinking, she couldn't be there. I thought it was unfortunate, but I told my sister she couldn't come to dinner with us. But what was really annoying is that after we ordered alcohol, our server didn't card us. I went out of my way to uninvite my sister because they said she couldn't be there, and they didn't even check. I thought it was a dumb rule in the first place, but it was really annoying that they didn't even enforce it after I went out of my way to ask. The pork belly skewers were really good. I can see why we used to come all the time as kids. Smoky and crispy. There's a big super traditional looking grill at the front of the restaurant, so I guess they're super serious about their skewers. The okonomiyaki was good too. We decided to try the rose tteokbokki since it was a new menu item, but we were unimpressed. There were barely any toppings inside. We also got the steamed squid, but I thought it was a bit overcooked. We might've stayed a little longer, but the sight of a cockroach climbing on our table sent a chill down our spines. We told a server that we saw a cockroach, but she just stared at us blankly and walked away without doing anything. After that, we had serious issues about the perceived cleanliness of the restaurant and left immediately.  I'm disappointed. In the end, I didn't get the warm and fuzzy nostalgic feeling I was yearning for. I think there were several interactions with the workers that they could have handled better. I cleared my little side quest, so I don't think I have a reason to ever return.

Then the traditional Guatemalan breakfast which was good . Then the revolcado - this was not that great and wasn't even hot but like warm . The flavor was off . Now I've had many revolcados here and in Guatemala and at home so yeah I know what it's supposed to taste like and it was just off . Specially that it wasn't hot and the flavor off . But everything else was okay . I will give it another try another day . Overall the restaurant is nice and service on point some of the food items were great while another was not stellar . I would recommend it and give it another chance .

It did not disappoint! I got the creamy chicken pesto and he got the short rib gnocchi. Both were absolutely delicious. It's quite a popular local spot.

This establishment has a South African theme and I saw both the USA and South African flags flown outside. This establishment is only open for evening rations and was very busy when I arrived and there was a wait for a table. We were called and seated. The waitress pointed us to a QR Code and I told her neither of us do QR codes so she brought us a tablet that had the menu. This establishment does NOT have paper menus. Apparently this establishment wants people to go digital which I GREATLY resent as I am an analogue guy and I do not want to go digital!!!!! This is the one and only reason why I am giving such a low grade. Men's washroom was clean and had paper towels available... good. I ordered the cheeseburger and shake combo deal. The burger was quite good as were the French Fries and the chocolate shake was excellent. My mother ordered the lamb and was very satisfied though she took most of it home. Normally I would automatically give the lowest score possible if a sit down restaurant lacks a written paper or laminated menu or if an establishment forces me to use a kiosk to place an order. However I requested a sample of Biltong and the waitress honoured that request. For this reason I am adding an additional point for a total of two points instead of the one point that I would have otherwise awarded. If a letter grade was assigned as is done in school, this establishment would get a D. NOTE: If this establishment had a paper or laminated menu available, I would have awarded four out of five possible points which would have equated to a letter grade of B. The reason I would not have given a perfect score is because I noticed that some of the guys who work at this establishment wore their shirts untucked which I consider to be highly unprofessional.
