A word from McKenna's on the Bay

A classic seafood and steakhouse, we feature the freshest seafood obtainable, a daily harvest of fresh oysters from around the globe, and only certified all natural Angus Beef. Located on Alamitos Bay, this is the place to be. Our wood fired open broilers convey a natural feel of old time sailing… lofts. Continued

"We had extremely slow service, waiter told us they were out of muffins at brunch. When they were out of a dessert we wanted, we asked for ice cream with fresh berries. Ice cream arrived surrounded by maraschino cherries. Two other desserts were awful. On eggs Benedict, one of the poached eggs was way overcooked. This was Easter brunch, restaurant was pretty busy, but not full."

"We visited on St. Patrick's Day, and the staff was enthusiastically prepared. Decorations everywhere! The special was a corned beef and cabbage, and because of the day, I tried it...wonderful - lean and beautifully presented. I will return."

"Monday Happy Hour Oysters (6 varieties) at $1.50 per are NOT to be missed. Although the menu is a bit pricey it's all so delicious and worth every penny.
Look for me on Mondays at the oyster bar!!!!"
