Description

**Dining by the Harbor: A Mixed Bag Experience**

Nestled along the picturesque Oceanside harbor, this restaurant offers a charming ambiance paired with a diverse menu. While the outdoor patio provides stunning views and a delightful setting for happy hour, recent visits have showcased inconsistency in service and food quality. Patrons have enjoyed standout dishes like the clam chowder and fish & chips, but some have noted bland flavors and overcooked items. The ambiance is enhanced by attentive staff and the longest happy hour around. Overall, the venue presents a blend of enjoyable experiences and areas needing improvement, making it a worth-considering spot for locals and visitors alike.

First time visiting during happy hour!!! First server did well ordered beer and sashimi. She left and didn't receive any service while sittin g for over 15 minutes. All manager said we can help now. Maybe try it again but tone of manager was so uncaring. I worked in industry for over 20 years, disappointed by manager response. Guess shouldn't wear tank top even after asking if apparel was ok. Don't judge the book by its cover. Live Life

Took the wife and kids on vacation to Oceanside and to what I thought would be a tasty dinner at a laid back restaurant. The service and people were great but the food lacked flavor in a way I have ever seen. Like, zero seasoning. Family of 5. 3 kids meals, 2 adult meals, $193 before tip. It just simply was not worth it. We should have known when it was dead on a Saturday at dinner time. The fish tank was dirty. The silverware was dirty.

Nice quiet Saturday night, not too busy. Got shrimp and clam fettuccine (two separate dishes). Very tasty. Sat inside since it was pretty chilly outside, but still had a harbor view. Highly recommended.

Peggy (waitress) was sweet as can be. The food while pricy, it is steak and seafood. It was worth it and it was great to sit by the docks and just watch.

The view and restaurant is incredible. Laid back, casual classy. Our server Jorge was attentive and accommodating. Authentic friendliness was observed. Now for the bartender SEAN. GROSS. Nasty attitude, and unfriendly...to me. I suspect he has an issue with Black people and he is the reason I deducted a star I ordered a Raspberry Lemon Drop martini. Who tf doesn 't know it cones with a sugar rim? But mine had salt mixed in it. I could taste it. Jorge wasn 't close, so I took the drink to the Bar. Sean was in a conversation with another customer. His acknowledgement was not immediate, as he saw me bringing the drink to the bar. It took about 45 seconds for him to acknowledge me with WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU. Wrong question, buddy. A friendly bartender would ask if everything was ok!! I replied with Hi Sean nametag). This drink should have sugar around it, but I taste salt mixed in the sugar can i have another? Sean stares at me with no Fn reply. So I said, unless there is someone else who can help me?? He replied with a snide, NO, it 's just me. I 'll see what I can do. See what you can do?? So I say thank you and walk back to my table leaving the drink. Jorge comes to ask what happened. My stepmother tells him in Spanish and that Sean is a rude idiot. Jorge comes back with a new drink and apologizes for Sean 's behavior...Jorge the redeemer. The calamari was super fresh! I had the grilled tuna melt with a Caesar salad and fries, and it was smashing! Delicious all around! I will visit again when I 'm back in the O 'side...and I 'll skip the bar drinks...
