    Place is exactly what it's supposed to be. If you don't like it your in the wrong place. It's not complicated at all.

    If you're not a local don't go to this bar. They do not welcome visitors into their bar. Especially if you're under the age of 50!!

    Yellowfins Bar & Grill - Side garden salad w/ Spicy Margarita

    We discovered Yellowfins in 2020 and instantly fell in love with everything about it (great Happy…read moreHour, reasonable prices, surprisingly good food, dive-esque atmosphere, and down to earth servers). Six years later we still make it a point to stop in at least once (but typically multiple times) on our annual Selbyville vacation. I was here just once this year. I met my dad and uncle (who visited way too many times to count) after fishing. The bartender had a Crush on the bar waiting for me when I arrived. I ordered Wings, and since it was happy hour, $1 Chicken tacos. Both the wings and tacos were great, especially the tacos for $1 each. The wings were your classic Buffalo Wings; well done & crispy. Chicken tacos were moist and flavorful, and were served with onions, cilantro, radish, and lime. This wasn't the first time I've had Yellowfins Wings (we get them nearly every time we come, they're that good) but it was the first time I've had their happy hour tacos. Both my mom and I recommend them and would definitely order again. Other must orders are the cheesesteaks and the tuna nachos!! One of the things we love most about Yellowfins is the small town, local vibe. There are always familiar faces at the bar every time we visit, year after year. Since it's tucked into a small shopping center a little farther inland compared to many other local bars & establishments, it would be easy to drive right past it--but don't. If you've never been, it's absolutely worth the stop. The fact that we keep coming back year after year, along with so many regulars, says everything you need to know.

I ordered the seafood risotto and noticed it had no lobster in it as listed on the menu. Brought this to the attention of our server who spoke to the chef and said the lobster was "incorporated into the sauce". Although tasty, was disappointed to have no discernible lobster in an almost $50 dish.

The main bar was not crowded when we first arrived so we easily scored two bar stools with backs overlooking the south side of the bar. The bar started to fill up after 4 PM. A guy with a guitar sang some songs as per last time. The views of the Atlantic ocean and the bay are great from the Vista rooftop bar and restaurant. . They now offer many flavors of margaritas. Before we left the bar, all high tops were full with customers including customers who were waiting for our bar stools. Some customers seized the high tops, while some went to the secondary bar. A second bartender was called in when the bar became very busy. I opted for my three strawberry margaritas with salted rims for $8 each. I also enjoyed my Tsunami Wontons with Atlantic lobster, jumbo lump crab, avocado, pico de gallo, and wasabi and red pepper coulis for $20. The happy hour menu is different from when we last visited. Bartender Mark served both of us very well. My friend and I split our bill in half. My share of our bill was $49 including a 3% credit card surcharge, but excluding gratuity. We agreed we will return here again for happy hour.

    Arrived on a Sunday night in season (July) and the wait for a table was 30 minutes. Asked if we…read morecould eat at the bar and was told Yes, so we did. I'm so glad!! I ordered an unusual wine from their list and James opened a new bottle just for me. That's great service! During our time there, we had many interactions with Tim (bar back), James (bartender) and Mike (server who has been there forever, so he says!) and they ALL were great!! The food was delicious! Generous portions, which arrived hot and beautifully presented. Definitely a 5 star experience in our opinion. Priced appropriately for the area ($120 for the 2 of us including drinks and food). Highly recommend!!

Was told that the tacos can't have pico removed, it was the side of pico that was removed. I expressed frustration at the time the order was placed that ordering without pico on the entree was not an option, as i fairly clearly don't like pico, and that would have been useful information to have so I can select another option. They offered to make something else, which, i guess that's literally the least they could do but by that point, my wife's order would be cold. No apology was offered, nor was any sort of discount/ cost offset, which was frustrating. Picked the pico off and ate the food, but the flavor had permeated the dish and it was ruined. Very disappointing experience

    Having frequented this location under its previous name, 99 Sea Level, I wanted to summarize our…read moreinitial two experiences under the restaurant's new management and rebranding. Our first visit took place on Mother's Day around 4:00 PM. Because brunch was still being served and dinner didn't begin until 4:15 PM, I booked a table for two, and we passed the time at the bar. We caught some live music while I enjoyed a $16 Maker's Mark Manhattan before settling the bar tab. Once dinner service opened at 4:15 PM, we were seated inside at table 45 to escape a breezy outdoor deck. It turned out to be the debut day for their new menu. I ordered another $16 Maker's Mark Manhattan and the $36 seafood stew--a rich combination of fish, clams, shrimp, fennel, pepper, onion, Spanish chorizo, and tomato seafood broth accompanied by grilled bread. It was a generous portion, so I brought the remaining stew home to enjoy later that evening. To conclude the meal, I tried the Lucky 7 porter from Evolution Craft Brewing Company ($7), which featured dark dried fruit and sweet toffee tones balanced by notes of chocolate, coffee, and smoke. Our server, Brendan V., did an excellent job caring for us and demonstrated great knowledge of the new menu, even while managing a large outdoor table with five children. Our total bill for that evening came to $114, excluding gratuity. We returned on Memorial Day for a second dinner, this time in a group of five that included family and a friend visiting from Scottsdale, AZ. Since the outdoor fire tables were completely full, we secured a table on the left side of the restaurant. I began with a spicy mango margarita for $14, which featured tequila, mango, lime, agave, jalapeno, and a tajin rim, and opted for the $36 seafood stew once again. Unfortunately, the cocktails were inconsistent this time; I ordered a Maker's Mark Manhattan up, but it tasted like watered-down bourbon. When a second Manhattan tasted exactly the same, I decided to cancel the order. Nevertheless, our server Nadine K. provided excellent service throughout the evening, and our bill came out to $92 before gratuity. Ultimately, we all agreed that we would gladly visit again.

    I know the restaurant industry is difficult, and I am usually not one to write bad reviews, but…read morethis one is justified. Don't be lured by the great ocean views. This is still a hotel restaurant, and a mediocre one at best. The good . . . great views of the Atlantic and decent drinks. The bad . . . just about everything else. I'll preface this by saying that I was not going to write a review despite the underwhelming experience, but after the final straw, I simply can't resist. We started with a round of cocktails that were attractive and well mixed. The night was off to a good start. Unfortunately, it was downhill from there. Appetizers were fried cauliflower and calamari. Entrees were crabcakes, a Caesar salad topped with a crabcake, seafood bucatini, and seafood stew. Service was indifferent at best. Server did not offer any specials until asked and did not know how to handle problems (see below). The appetizers came out and were fine. The cauliflower was fried, but not as crispy as a really good fried cauliflower. The chipotle aioli had a nice flavor. Calamari was well fried, but the sauce was overly salty. Then came the entrees. The seafood bucatini was the highlight in that it was perfectly acceptable. For $52, I expect a meaty crabcake with lots of jumbo lump. This crabcake was loaded with filler. As for the caesar salad, the menu says it comes with "Shaved parmesan, anchovies, croutons, house made caesar dressing." But the salad came out with no croutons. When we asked the server, he said they ran out of croutons and he needed to bring the manager over to offer a solution (which turned out to be sunflower seeds, smashed cashews, and leftover bread from the kitchen - when we said we'll take them, the server said we may be charged for keeping all three). Lettuce was also the top of the romaine, which was mushy and needed the non-existent croutons to save it. Then there's the seafood stew. The bowl came out with no spoon and no bread (and no plate for shells, but I guess that's not a necessity). They brought a spoon when asked, but said it doesn't come with bread, and we would need to order bread if we wanted it. Seemed odd, but okay. The broth was ridiculously salty and borderline inedible. We paid and left feeling like it was fine, but we probably won't return on future visits to Bethany. Then we checked the menu to see what it said about the seafood stew. Sure enough, it is supposed to come with "grilled bread." Perhaps they ran out of it with the croutons, but to say we would need to order it separately reflects a lack of knowledge of the menu, complete indifference, blatant lying, or all of the above. Beyond that, the pop music was far too loud for a restaurant that wants to be a decent restaurant. The view was nice, but I feel like I just threw my money into the ocean.
