    The good is that it's dog friendly and the food has some flavor. They have nice seating inside and outside now comes the bad service does take a little bit for the food to come out you order on a QR code. The Smashburger is quite flavorful, though it could use a side to it as you only get a burger.

    energy--I give it five stars for pure neighborhood awesomeness. Everything I've had there has been yummy, with a tropical, laid-back feel. The menu has something for everyone: tacos, smash burgers, salads, banana ice cream sandwiches... and don't even get me started on the drinks. The margaritas and cocktails are so good. They're also incredibly dog-friendly, with dog-positive events that make the place feel even more welcoming. It's the kind of spot you go once and then keep coming back to because it just makes you happy.

    Famous Fried Chicken Sando, Fries

    The atmosphere of this restaurant is quite an experience. The outdoor seating provides a tropical and vibrant atmosphere, temporarily concealing the bustling nature of the city. As you enter the building, every room becomes slightly dimmer, gradually transforming the place from tropical paradise to dive bar scenery. The food, though, was pretty mediocre. I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich and Fries and just by the looks of it, it already doesn't seem too spectacular. The taste of both were above decent, BUT the price point was a little bit too high for me. The portion size definitely on the smaller side. I did appreciate that these dishes were freshly made - the burger and its juices were steaming hot! They have excellent customer service. We came in during a Trivia Night and it was free to join. The game was very casual, yet entertaining to see the competitive groups. Not sure what the prize was, but it definitely added to the dining experience. But unfortunately as much as I wanted to rate this place higher, the food isn't just on par.

    Came by with a friend to try their happy hour. You order your drinks/food through the QR code on the table. It was straightforward and efficient. Got the classic margarita $8 and a second chipotle mango margarita for $8. Both were pretty good for the price point. I'd come back to try their small bites during their happy hour. Ambiance- loved the vibe! Rustic, nature vibes- It was 6pm and dimmed inside. Nice and cozy!

    This is most definitely a bar! But good small bites. I liked all the food we ordered. It came out fast , it was fresh but more importantly tasted good. Some good bar food bites that had a island vibe flare. Tacos needed something like crispier torts, we asked for lime. Brussels had good flavor but not crispy. Pop corn shrimp could be a bit more coconut flavored but overall very good for bar food!

    I thought the food here was kind of underwhelming. For the price there are better food options in the area, but this could be a good spot if you're more interested in drinks and aesthetics. It's a very cute spot and the outdoor seating area is (relatively) large and covered. You order from a QR code and can keep your own tab separate from others at your table which I thought was interesting and probably nice for larger parties.

    Great vibes, the music, decor, and ambiance is amazing--feels like you are back in SoCal. They play upbeat house music (not sure if anyone dances). Come here for the vibes, as the food is very average. The drinks are okay. The pina colada was sour so I don't recommend. The espresso martini was decent. Scan the QR code to order, they will bring it to your table.

    Solid spot in the marina. I love their Caribbean inspired dishes. I ordered the popcorn shrimp and the crabcake Benedict. Both were really good. Their hibiscus palmer is also very refreshing! They have outside seating which is perfect for a warm day.

    The vibes here are great! My friend and I walked in on a Tuesday night and there was bingo going on. I think this would be a great place to drink and hang out with friends. It was very loud though, I had to shout just to keep a conversation, outside seating is quieter. I got the smash burger and made it naughty style. I personally did not really like this burger, the meat patty is not what I expected for a typical smash burger. The naughty style flavors took over the burger. The Mac and cheese was delicious though, super creamy and cheesy. The Brussels sprouts were also quite tasty but on the sweeter side versus savory.

    The place has a cute vibe and has great happy hour deals! I didn't think the food was particularly great but not a bad place to catch up with a friend! I do love that they have indoor and outdoor seating! I recommend the outside seating so you can people watch on the busy street!

    They have great happy hour! My friends and i came here on a Thursday afternoon to get some drinks and snacks. We actually didn't realize it was happy hour until an hour in. We ordered the sesame chicken, fries, hugo spritz, aperol spritz, pina colada, skinny passion fruit margarita. I'd recommend getting the sesame chicken. Super tasty, and it was perfectly crispy and flavored. I've been here many times and everything I've ordered so far has been tasty. They also have a menu for your fur babies which i loved. The service is fine and the ambiance is tropical. Very cutesy and dog friendly.

    I stopped by with my coworker to grab some happy hour before meeting with the others. She lives in the marina and I found this place on Yelp. I was mainly looking for a happy hour menu with lots of choices. When we stopped by around 5pm on a Thursday, it was very open. There were plenty of seats in the patio and indoors as well. They have QR codes on the table and you order via your phone and they bring it out to you afterwards. It's open seating so wherever you wanted to sit, you just find a table and do so. I ordered the guava mojito with casamigos blanco ($8 base, $3 for the choice of alcohol), spiced fries ($4) and sesame chicken wings ($14) to share. My friend ordered the mother clucker sandwich ($13) and Palm house slushy with mango ($10+ additional for the mango). The guava mojito was freshing and was very easy to drink. The alcohol was in there but the guava made it so refreshing that you almost couldn't tell. The spiced fries were good, I wouldn't say they were super special but just a classic. The wings, let me tell you was to die for!! The wings had the gochujang glaze with sesame and green onion. It came with a side of pickled cucumbers and a coconut ranch dipping sauce. The flavors of the glaze was on point, and it wasn't too sticky but you definitely want to make sure you don't let the glaze go to waste. The coconut ranch had some essences of dill in it from what it seemed. It provided a calming sauce to highlight the gochujang flavor. The pickled cucumbers helps cleanse the palette between bites. My coworker said she really enjoyed her drink and food. The drink was strong according to her and the chicken sandwich was deliciously crispy and flavorful! FYI, they automatically apply a 5.5% surge charge on your bill. So be mindful of that before you tip. They also automatically elect the 20% tip when you are about to pay. You can alter your tip at the end when you pay on your phone as well. Overall, the place was very aesthetically pleasing to the eye, had a convenient ordering system, yummy food and drinks and seemed like a nice place to meet up with friends or even date night. I'd definitely stop by again for happy hour if I'm in the neighborhood!

    Review is strictly for the smash burger and eaten via delivery. Picture was very promising, but was an expectation vs. reality situation. Burger was dry as hell and kind of gritty, would not classify as "smash" and very much a formed/rounded burger with uniform edges...almost as if previously frozen? Potato bun was very sweet or could have been the pineapple onion jam! Fries had a nice crisp, but no spice? Also didn't come with pineapple ketchup as advertised. Like Palm House otherwise (when we've dined in-person), but would pass on the smash burger!

It was kind of strange but I overlooked it. So we got a proper table and our menus and yet, even though there was only one other couple sitting in the back, it took forever for our server to help us. When he finally came back to take our order, we ended up giving him our entire order for drinks, apps and food cause we were starving (he didn't come to take our order until 30-40 min after we sat down). Then when the food came, it didn't come coursed out at all. The mains came before the shared appetizers. The oysters came out midway through our meal. It was all just kind of a mess. I ordered a burger medium and it was mostly pink through the entire burger and had little to no salt in it - there was no flavor! The fries I asked for crispy and they were just not soggy but hardly crisped. All around, the food was lackluster and the service was disappointing.

If you're looking for a place that feels clean and healthy without sacrificing taste, this is one of my favorites. I find myself craving it, especially for dinner. One thing that can be a little confusing is the hours. They often leave the door open, and because there's so much foot traffic, it's hard to tell whether they're actually open. I've definitely been the person peeking in to ask. They serve lunch on certain days, but they seem to be primarily a dinner spot. The biggest downside is the service. Unfortunately, it's been consistently underwhelming across all three visits, even with different servers. I've found the staff to be pretty dismissive, which makes me think it's more of the standard experience than just a one off. Because of that, I don't really dine in anymore. Instead, I usually order takeout and enjoy it outside. The food is absolutely worth it, even if the service isn't. If the quality of the food weren't this exceptional, I probably wouldn't have returned after my first visit. But it's honestly that good, and that's why I keep coming back.

The person who states "This is most likely the best restaurant in the world" has to be beyond sheltered; It's not even the best restaurant in the _neighborhood_. The main thing you must understand: the food is "inspired" by Indian food, but it does _not_ taste like Indian food. I suspect its been intentionally watered down to be palatable to milquetoast palettes. We ordered three small plates and the butter chicken as the main. Chicken Tikka Taco. This was greasy to the touch, with chicken and cheese. The dominate flavor is the cheddar cheese. They were trying to be creative but the ultimate effect was similar to a frozen burrito with cheddar cheese and chile verde. If you eat this, close your eyes and imagine a microwaved, frozen burrito..you'll see what I mean. Tandoori Avocado. This features an avocado that's been warmed and covered in a chili sauce. There's a green hummus and a fried dosa crisp. While it sounds wild, once the flavors are mixed together on the plate...the overall effect is that of a green-goddess salad. It's not bad, but its not mind bending. Octopus Xec Xec. The octopous was was cooked nicely and there was a tomato based sauce. Unlike something you'd find in India, it is _not_ heavy on the spices, or tang, or nuttiness. It's just very _neutral_. Butter Chicken. This was the biggest disappointment. I've never had a butter chicken curry that tasted so close to tomato soup in my life. I've eaten tons of butter chicken in my life, hundreds of Indian restaurants. I cannot imagine this was not an intentional choice...It was extremely disappointing. Also, the choice to use chicken breast was poor. Inevitably you get overcooked, chewy chicken pieces. They must have chosen this because (like Disneyland) sometimes you water things down to make it more popular with less adventurous people. The customers next to us (not Indian) kept slathering it on their rice and saying "I can't believe I didn't use to like Indian food!" -- that told me all I needed to know. BTW the naan is insanely bad. They stretched it very thin and then crisped it to the point that it breaks like a cracker. In what world is naan not pillowy and soft? Personally, I was really disappointed with this experience -- the other reviews on yelp are absolute insanity IMO. I know there's a hype train right now -- but someday people will realize this place is not it.
