    LOVEEE! The espresso martinis are so good. I got regular and my friend got a hazelnut. I am shocked I don't have to wait or make reservations for Surlas. Always amazing food, drinks, and service.

    Chicken pesto pizza and fish tacos

    Absolutely amazing. My husband and I were going to Dustbowl brewery and last minute changed our mind and I will forever be grateful. Walking in to hear live music drew me in immediately. The staff was so friendly and immediately available. I personally like to eat pretty light and it's hard to find food that isn't bland when looking for clean, but they hit every number. From their ahi tuna poke to their cauliflower crust chicken pesto pizza I was impressed. New favorite date night place ever.

    Went to Surla's for a friend's birthday, we were a party of 8 I believes Staff was very accommodating, took wonderful care of our table, making sure we were all good, if we needed more drinks, etc. Wonderful atmosphere, awesome service, the food is SO GOOD! Everything from appetizers to entrees, my compliments to the chef!

    Been here a couple times for their ayce Sunday brunch, and it's been well worth it. This spot has a nice decor, fine dining feel to it. The food during their monthly ayce brunch is amazing. When we got there, there was a line waiting outside. Everyone was courteous other than some customers behind us who skipped the line to say they had a reservation and told the staff where they wanted to be seated. We ALSO had a reservation but were politely waiting our turn in line (we were second in line). Unfortunately, the staff seated the other customers that skipped the line before the others who waited in line, regardless if they had a reservation or not. As far as the food goes, everything Tasted fresh, good flavor, lots of variety. They have an omelet station, crepe station and carving station, along with salads, desserts and hot item menus. They seemed to be either short on staffing and/or had new staffing because the line for the omelet bar was long, however, the staff was very kind and apologetic. The cook was having difficulty making the omelets, but I didn't mind the wait. With that being said, there wasn't anyone else available to carve the meat or make the crepes other than the one cook. The staff was still very polite and attentive. They were quick to refill our drinks. I'll definitely be going back.

    See all

    Second time here but never left a review til now. We were a party of 4 and went with Combo 3 with…read moreDungeoness crab, head on shrimp, corn, potato and sausage with garlic butter mild. Added rice and garlic noodles and sweet potato fries. Service- 3 stars. Our waitress (blonde old lady) was mid. Firstly, she didn't get our order correctly since once we got our bag of crab, we had to ask where our sweet potato fries were and the garlic noodles. It came way later. Second- not once did she come to our table and asked how our food were. We came on a Saturday around 3 pm so place wasn't that busy. Combo 3- was pretty good. For 4 people, we finished everything in the bag. Sausage had a little spice and was better than other crab bag restaurants. 5 stars Didn't like our plate was just a small little paper container that didn't hold much. They don't leave the bucket to your table so basically have to leave any shells out on the table. Not a deal breaker but other places I've been to, leaving a bucket for excess shell stuff makes our area around our paper container cleaner. 3 stars Overall, experience was fine but not worth 5 stars. Noticed when we left, the two girls working as the "hostess" were busy talking to each other than saying goodbye or saying "thank you for coming". 3 stars

I tried the kids' chicken strips and Cajun fires-also legit. The staff was young and energetic, they were very helpful answering all our "first timer" type questions. I also have to give them credit as I noticed they dealt with numerous rude demanding customers at other tables unusually well. Get here before 5 PM and you won't have to wait long, good luck anytime past that as they seem to be the only game in town. I almost forgot: a freaking robot-server-thing sang me happy birthday.

This gem is tucked into an industrial area, but you'll be happy once you have found its hiding spot. The last time we visited, we were in more of a celebratory mood and feasted on whole fried fish and a molcajete filled with an assortment of meat, seafood, and cactus. This time, we were in a bit of a rush, so we ordered tacos. Started off with guacamole and chips. Guac is very fresh and they mix in a little tomato to brighten things. Tried the Tacos Baja - both the shrimp and the fish version. These come with a heaping amount of filling and two tortillas- you can easily make two normal sized tacos with one taco. Nice crispy batter and well seasoned with an orange crema you can drizzle on top. Also tried the Tacos Gobernador. Sounds like something Arnold Schwarzenegger would order. These are super cheesy and shrimp filled. They're really good but it's a heavy meal. Everything we've had here has been delicious and I love how wide and varied the menu is. Highly recommend.

We ordered the crab boil with shrimp, sausage and crab and corn and white rice There was very little, thinly sliced sausage in the bag. We didn't get the corn, instead she gave us potatoes. My son is type 1 diabetic. Potatoes are not good for him to eat. She brought the corn on the side. Which was fine. The rice was not white rice. It was good rice. It had a few veggies in the rice, it was good. It's wasn't what I ordered and that type of rice doesn't go with the meal. I think the flavor of the crab boil was most disappointing. The flavor wasn't very good. I thought it was more salty than flavorful. I haven't tried other things on the menu. So maybe the other food they serve is better. Idk.
