Had such a great evening at this establishment tonight. It was my sister's first time visiting and…read morethey loved it. The view of the sand, rocks, beach, and sunset made the ambience really special and created the perfect beachside atmosphere. I ordered the Wild Atlantic salmon and an espresso martini and both were excellent. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the espresso martini was one of the best I've had. Brian was our bartender and the service really stood out. Drinks were deliciously made, the energy at the bar was fun and welcoming. He made sure everything was very well taken care of throughout the night. Between the food, service, beautiful views, and the fact that it's pet friendly, it made for such a nice experience. Definitely recommend sitting at the Sand Bar and asking for Brian for those amazing drinks and great recommendations!!

Open until 10 pm. NOPE. NOT TODAY. NO NOTICE BUT THEY CLOSED @ 4pm. Really disappointed. We pulled…read moreinto the parking lot at 405 pm Thursday April 23. It was a beautiful warm Spring day (73 degrees) and we were excited to eat with the great ocean view from The Beach House Seal Beach. Paid for 2 hours of parking and walked over to the restaurant. It was only when we entered the gate where the hostess is that we saw a small sign that said, "Closed." WAIT WHAT???? No indication in the parking lot, no sign at the sidewalk, no sign walking down the walk way. The ONLY notice was buried around a corner saying Closed. We were told they were short staffed and had to close early, sorry. As we walked back to the car, we stopped at least 4 other cars and told them the restaurant was closed. We were able to alert them so they did not pay for parking at a CLOSED restaurant. It felt like the restaurant had NO consideration for the customers. To have NO sign anywhere near where customers would be parking to notify us of a totally unexpected, unanticipated, highly unusual CLOSING at 4 pm for a restaurant that was supposed to be open until 10 pm!!!!! So I called from my car in the parking lot and asked to speak to the manager. When the manager got on he explained that they were short staffed and had to close early. I discussed the lack of notice to customers and how we paid for 2 hours of beach parking. Manager was nice and polite and totally unresponsive to the fact we paid money to visit his restaurant and now had no where to eat and were out the parking fees. I recommended they post a notice where customers could see they were closed BEFORE we paid for our parking. He said they would do it after they finished closing out. I insisted it was only fair that they notified their customers FIRST. So, as we were leaving we saw an employee come out and post a sign. I took a photo because no one would believe how inadequate their posting was if I just described it. The sign is micro small. You can see our car at the bottom of the photo. Would you notice this CLOSED sign? Come on Beach House. We know you can do better for your customers.

It's a small, authentic beachfront spot that manages to keep a mellow, chill vibe despite being right by the water. * The Food: The portions are generous and the prices are actually reasonable for the area. Whatever you do, you GOTTA try the deviled eggs. They were the highlight of the meal! * The Service: Our waiter was a total vibe super high energy, very attentive, and gave us some "chef's kiss" recommendations. * The Wait: Even for a prime location, we only waited about 15 minutes to be seated. Verdict: If you're looking for amazing food without the chaotic beach crowds, this is your spot. 10/10 would celebrate here

We were seated at our table which was outside and right next to the window. Our waitress was Hillary and she was so cheerful and kind. She was such a great server! We started off with the trio which comes with Brussel sprouts, calamari, and shrimp. It was nice to have a sample platter. For dinner I ordered the seabass and my party ordered the halibut. The halibut was the way to go! Wowee. So delicious! For dessert, we ordered the mud pie schooner to share! So good. It was so hard to share.

I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday dinner, and unfortunately, the experience was…read moredisappointing from start to finish. Our table was seated right in front of the singer, yet we felt completely overlooked the entire evening. We never received basic items like bread, water refills, extra napkins, or even straws unless we repeatedly tried to flag someone down. When our calamari arrived, it was missing something as simple as lemon, and getting our waitress's attention to fix it was nearly impossible. She was extremely difficult to find throughout the night--it honestly felt like we didn't have a server at all. The lack of attentiveness made the whole experience frustrating and uncomfortable. It was clear the outdoor area was understaffed, but that doesn't excuse the level of service we received. On top of that, the food was overpriced for the quality. You're essentially paying for the view, not the dining experience. You're better off at the Cheesecake Factory where the prices match the quality of food and the service is exceedingly better. It was exhausting looking for our waitress. It would've been nice to have a manager making their rounds to voice an opinion to in real time. I also want to mention the hostess with dark brown hair in a low bun, who came across as rude and dismissive for no apparent reason, which set a negative tone from the beginning. My twin sister and I were trying to seat our party together and she just didn't seem accommodating but just dismissive. I had heard great things about a server named Ashley from others in my party, and I really wish we had been seated in her section. Based on this experience, I won't be returning or recommending this place to others.

The bussers were the most attentive and honestly the only ones consistently checking on us. The waitresses barely came by. They took the drink menus right after we ordered drinks which made it feel a little rushed Our waitress came by twice, once to take our order and once with the check. We had to flag someone down just to order another drink and that only happened because a busser brought us a menu. It really felt like the bussers were carrying the service here Drinks were good so no complaints there. Food was just okay, nothing special or memorable. The photobooth, which seems like a big reason people come, wasn't even working which was also a disappointment Overall wouldn't come back.

This review is only for their salsa/bachata dancing night and the bar…read more The bungalow has weekly salsa/bachata nights that include free dance lessons from 8 to 9:30. The instructors are great and the crowd is fun diverse (in terms of age, background, and experience dancing). The djs are also awesome play a lot of good music. The vibe is fun and high energy. It's nice to see a place that is filled with dancers of all skill levels just having fun and learning to dance. The venue itself is beautiful. They have a large open air dance floor that overlooks the marina as well as a smaller dance area inside near the pool tables. The decore is classy and elegant overall. On salsa nights they have drink specials in addition to the regular drink menu. Lastly I once lost my key fob there and someone returned it to their lost and found. I'm forever grateful to whomever returned it and the staff at the front door / lost and found. Overall it's an awesome place to come out and hang out and dance.

This place is honestly a joke…read more We waited in line for almost 2 hours while security kept people outside for no reason -- and when we finally got in, there was so much open space inside. It wasn't even close to full. They're clearly holding people outside on purpose to create fake hype, which is honestly pretty messed up. You're telling me dozens of people are stuck waiting forever while there's plenty of room inside? It's giving manufactured crowd and poor management. To make it worse, they stopped serving drinks and turned the lights on at 1:15 AM, way earlier than literally any normal bar. So after wasting hours in line, you barely even get time inside. And it somehow gets worse -- at 1:35 AM they were literally kicking people out of the restroom. We weren't even allowed to finish or wash our hands before being rushed out. That's not just rude, it's straight up unhygienic and disrespectful. Overall, completely overhyped, disorganized, and not worth the wait at all. Don't fall for the line -- it's fake.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Pleasant place for lunch…read more We were in the area and were looking for a place for lunch and their menu was up our alley. We got there right after they opened so we were the first ones in, but the place filled up soon enough. The decor was attractive, with lots of dark wood, the ambiance was nice and calm, with friendly servers. I got the grilled shrimp tacos, which were three street-style tacos with plump shrimp, grilled veggies, shredded cabbage and avocado salsa, accompanied by seasoned tortilla chips and a nicely piquant green salsa. The hubby got the 1/2 grilled cheese sandwich and 1/2 garden salad, which he liked. You can mix and match among 3 types of sandwiches, salads, and soup--a nice option for a lighter lunch. We didn't have any beer on this visit but noticed the board with lots of interesting options. If you're looking for a more chill option on main st this place is worth a look.
