    This was my first time trying Wahoo's Fish Taco. I ordered a chicken chipotle and their sauce was so good. Server greet you with a warm smile and see if you need anything. Although the restaurant put their salsa near the trash bin, the manager should manage a better placement. Besides that, I really enjoy my launch there.

    Was in the area and craving for seafood ended up here. They do have outdoor seating area and I think it's really nice lots of parking as well. I ordered salmon bowl and ordered crispy fish taco. The food took a little bit to come out considering it's not busy went around lunch time on a Saturday. The guy who served my food is nice he made sure I have all I need and keep on checking if I'm ok. The food - the salmon is really dry wish there was a sauce that comes with it but they do have some salsa counter they have that special home made salsa but does not really go with the fish the rice is good though. I did ordered crispy fish taco and for some reason it's not crispy looks like a grilled fish and also dry as well. Probably ordered will definitely come back but for now 3

    Had to stop here. Original location. Karla was very nice. Sweet lady. She was friendly and professional. She remembered my name. Food is awesome. It's really good. Tacos are great. Huge and filling. I love their salsa bar. The green sauce and Maria's sauce is sooooo good. Restaurant is clean. Has a beach and surf vibe. Great spot. Highly recommended.

    $16 for a pile of white rice?!?!! At a fast food place? Our last visit was over $75 for 3 meals which we wrote off as a mistake & overlooked. Wahoos has gone significantly downhill in quality yet raised prices exponentially. The employee didn't seem to care at all about our concerns. Last Wahoos order for us for good.

    Eat here all time and figured I'd try the onion rings. 5 rings (1 small) for $6.80 = $1.36 each and two were burnt. Ouch.

    Found a hair in my food. Disappointing honestly.

    Found a hair in my food. Thoroughly disappointed honestly. The food was good before I found the mishap.

    Ceviche size is just unfair for $$$ and over priced

Inside is spacious. Loved the Aqua colored glass chandelier. They have a great cocktail menu! I wish I had time to enjoy a drink because they looked good when I saw a waiter delivering drinks to other tables. Our server, Abbie, was gracious and friendly. She was attentive to us and to all her other tables. Never skipped a beat on what part of the meal her customers were at (ordering, mid-meal, refills, dessert, paying, etc.) We ordered: A bowl of clam chowder - creamy and flavorful. Good amount of clams. A side salad - my hubby and I couldn't agree on dressing so Abbie brought both for us on the side. 3-piece fish and chips - crispy fish batter, not too thick. It's mahi-mahi so it's meatier than the typical cod. Fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Doused all of this goodness with their malt vinegar. We recommended this place to the other water polo families. Hopefully they stopped by too. I will definitely return! Thank you.

We got the lobster mac & cheese, fish & chips, and 4oz lobster roll. The Mac & Cheese was good, but I didn't like the choice of the noodle. The pasta was a bit undercooked, but the lobster was good. The batter for the fish and chips is so good, but the fish was a bit dry. I would def come back for the lobster roll. Lobster was fresh and the brioche bun was buttery! The lobster roll was def the high light! The ambiance was nice! Def a cute date spot for couple to go on a night out. Service was a bit slow for how empty the restaurant was.

I'm so glad I took his advice. Christian was incredibly knowledgeable about the dish and answered all of my questions. I was a little hesitant at first because the sides didn't immediately appeal to me, but everything worked together perfectly. The salmon was cooked to perfection, the skin was wonderfully crispy, and the fennel and tomatoes complemented the fish beautifully. This was truly a memorable meal, and I'll definitely be coming back just for this salmon. Thank you, Christian, for the excellent recommendation and great service!

If you are wine drinkers, WG has the first bottle complementary corkage for your own bottle of wine and $50 per each bottle you bring after the first one. They will gladly chill it for you if needed and then they will pop the cork and serve you your wine that you bring. Service is amazing from valet attendants, the hostesses and especially our server Asa who made great recommendations, kept our wine glasses filled until the bottle was empty and support staff kept our water glasses topped off. Even after eating our oysters, they brought us steaming hot towels with lemons to wipe our hands clean to get ready for our dinner entrees. After dinner entrees, we received our shared birthday cake/cookie dessert with ice cream. Very similar to BJ's Pizookie, except it came with three types of flavors. As full as we all were, we managed to polish off the dessert plate. A great restaurant for special date nights, celebrations or just a nice fancy dinner out.

Also very much chatting with each other and even when making eye contact with servers for assistance was ignored. Food wise order the dozen oyster chef choice, grill cheese, chowder fries, ahi and lobster taco Dozen oyster there were 3 types all on the brinier side with the final ones more brinier than others and accompany with ginger 2 types of chili sauce and pickle red onion Chowder fries a bit on the salty side with some bites but had a nice chowder and fries ratio With little heat from the Fresno chili that were garnished Tacos were served with in a blue corn tortilla, for $6 each on the smaller side like a street taco and flavors wise pretty basic, didn't stand out very much Grill cheese with 4 pieces very buttery toast nice crunch and gooey melty cheeses Overall pretty decent food but wasn't impress with the service and though short handed, there wasn't a sense of urgency to assist, minimal acknowledgment, and wasn't checked back on after food was dropped off as others were being asked around us Also noticed in their food kitchen window as dishes were waiting to be picked up there was a plate of burger and fries and someone from the kitchen twice with barehand taking bunches of fries from a already prepare plate to be delivered.

Aside from the ambiance, the service was very mid as it's a small establishment and only having 3 people but this place could need some work. A lot of tables were also dirty for a while and our food took almost 40 minutes as it wasn't busy with no wait. Unfortunately, I won't be returning to this place because of the multiple incidents of cross contamination. -The silver trays that are used for the oysters, she scooped the ice straight from the machine and that same ice they put into your water. -The guy had gloves and was handling food and he used the same gloves to make and serve the couple water. -The water is also coming from a bucket that's on the side of the bar where everything is passed through and their personal items are on top of the lid.
