   The brunch buffet was great and consisted of everything I could have wanted. It was my first time getting brunch there but I have been many times for dinner. My favorite things were the firecracker pork ribs, crab legs, and Mac salad. Everything was great tho. The price was reasonable for everything that was included. I’ll definitely go again!

   First time to Bali Hai. Awesome Mai Tais! Food was yummy but I ordered Korean Fried chicken and it was cut up chicken in sauce. It was delicious just nit what I expected. I had the s’mores cake. The cake was not very moist but still good. Overall I would definitely go back!

   Our waiter, Kevin I believe, took a little more than 30 minutes from when we were sat to greet us and take a drink order. We had to flag down another server to ask who our waiter was, and they had to get him for us. We were sat promptly, we were brought waters immediately by other staff which was great. Food was great and so were the drinks. We've come here before and service was impeccable so I know this was just a one-time thing. It was just a little disappointing since we were so hungry and were ready to eat and also had a graduation to make it to after so we were definitely rushed to eat and get out of there.

    First time here and not the last! More casual than I expected, but that's great! The view was awesome! Live music was really good, but he when he stopped it just seemed loud with conversations. We enjoyed the food and views and will be back.

    One of the best Tiki restaurant/bar experiences I've ever had. Totally recommend it. Combination of bay view and Tiki decor is terrific! I was not overly impressed by the "world famous Mai Tai." Thankfully side juices are offered, and necessary. Food was excellent, and our server was attentive and knowledgeable.

    Just as requested, we had a beautiful table outside to have dinner with friends. We had a wonderful evening, and enjoyed ourselves very much. The food was good, not outstanding, and the Mai Thai was special. We will definitely be returning to the restaurant and enjoying ourselves on some other summer evening.

    The view is spectacular from the dining room Make a reservation ahead to be more likely to sit by the window. The food is so delicious. The calamari was tender and crispy as was the coconut shrimp. The salmon was tender and sweet but be aware that the peppers on it are HOT!

    It was our 24yrs anniversary. Got seated by the window as requested when making the reservation for thw sunday brunch, and the view was spectacular. Food was great. We ate so much crab legs, salad and macarani salad, korean short rib, french toast, waffles, tart dessert, steak, mimosas and etc were all delicious. They even brought us a special dessert for our 24yrs anniversary. The service was top notch. Highly recommend.

    Food was mediocre. Server seemed very busy and not particularly attentive. Salmon was cooked beautifully. Zombie cocktail was absolutely disgusting - note - more liquor does not make it better. Korean wings are not Korean. They were like cheap Chinese fried chicken but overpriced.

    I have not been since the pandemic began, newer staff did fantastic! Host made note of our special request on open table, and sat us by window as it was a special occasion. Server was terrific. Great time had by all - food options were really fun from the pupu to the seafood plates we ordered. Beverages from the bar delightful for the occasion. We went early so it wasn't too loud. When we were leaving it was definitely louder.

    Super cool vintage ambiance. We realize that right now when we have the privilege of going out we may need to be patient as all restaurants seem short staffed (hoping that the 20 something year old crowds will start getting back into the workforce!) Our waiter did tell us the kitchen was backed-up so we appreciate the heads up and didn't mind waiting a little extra for our food because the view was lovely. Wait staff was very kind and tried their best. Food was pretty good, but menu was pretty limited.

    The views were fantastic. The food was very good. We were disappointed with the Scallop dish. Although the Scallops were very tasty, they only gave you 3 Scallops for almost $30. Not a good value at all. The best was value was the Calamari. Lots of it and very good. We did have a very good time and enjoyed our meal.

    Father's day lots of kids and lots of noise. Love the place though, so nothing but good things to say. My grandkids (17 & 19) ate more than their fair share and would love to do it again. Hopefully, we can make that happen.

    I'm sorry to say that even though it was Father's Day evening, we were told that they were out of a lot of dishes. No specials and No Market Fish. Over the past few years, the food has been on a slow decline with less inspired offerings and mediocre preparation. Sauces that were terrific are now so-so and on two occasions were nonexistent. They had to have the chef make some more sauce for our noodles...which took quite a long time to accomplish. I will say that the Mai Tai's are still the best in the world, the view can't be beat and service is always good.

    The best seafood (Father’s Day) brunch buffet I’ve had in SD. Crab legs & oysters were tasty and always stocked. Enjoyed the poke & lox along with the made to order omelets station and prime rib delicious and paired well with the cauliflower au gratin. For $72 I sure did get my money’s worth so come Starving haha! Tea and coffee are included which was nice.

    Brunch at the Bali Hai has been a must in my family for years, over 30. Sadly it has become EXTREMELY expensive. Quality, diversity and charm has gone down. No more bottomless mimosas, juices, or coffee. Dissatisfied for sure. Will not be back.

    Our server was great (a young woman, noon on 6/18). The food was "ok"; skimpy on the Louie salad's crab meat. Flavor good, dressing was tasty. The view is unmatched, but the noise level is painful. We sat next to a window. Our throats were sore from hollering across the table. Two in our party had to take headache medicine! Probably will not return because of that. Bummer.
