    This was my birthday dinner, I ordered the halibut special with prawns...the fish was very overcooked, I almost choked on my first bite!! I just can't understand how any chef could send out a dish so badly cooked, also the calculation was tough and chewy and the breading fell right off. I had made reservations and they ask if you are celebrating anything special, which I answered yes, my birthday.... Their was absolutely no acknowledgment of my birthday, even after I had to send my dinner back....I was at least hoping for a little piece of something with a candle...why ask if you celebrating a special occasion then not acknowledge it....

    Although I could not determine the exact time my dining friend would arrive, I was nicely recommended to wait at the bar and my table would remain reserved. I happily ordered a martini from the gracious bartender and moved to our table which was well situated. Our waitress was congenial, helpful, attentive and professional. The food and drinks were excellent, and I would recommend the Beach House. I am a local who doesn't dine out often. I appreciate a nice evening out. Thank you Beach House personnel.

    They needed to move us, which wasn't the problem, it's after they moved us. The server was not attentive and didn't bring us bread, and never checked on us.

    Not the best. Not the worst. I had the French dip. The dip was so salty. My wife had the fish and chips. The fish was like an oil slick. Service and views were OK. It was busy. But this did not slow service.

    We had a pleasant dining experience with amazing food! The service was very good and the food had great flavor! The salmon was wonderful! The bar drinks were good to, but needed a little more flavor. We recommend this restaurant to dine in at least once. Thank you .

    Very pleasant dining experience. Our request for a patio table was honored and we were able to enjoy the views at sunset. The food and service were spot on. Prefer this restaurant during the week as it becomes much more crowded and boisterous on a Friday/Saturday evening. Definitely would recommend this place.

    Nice dining experience with Claudio as our server. We shared the Beach House salad and it was very good with fresh mixed greens, berries, tomatoes, goat cheese and a nice vinaigrette. I enjoyed the Mahi Mahi with polenta, asparagus & crispy prosciutto. Hubby liked his Sand Dabs with rice and green beans. Topped dinner off with Mud Pie. Beautiful views if you’re close to a window.

    We were seated at a lovely table next to a large window that overlooked a beach area. Enjoyed the firecracker shrimp appetizer with the Perfect Margarita (Up/no ice) and a Filthy Manhattan. The Caesar Salad was wonderful and was served with anchovies. For dinner we had the Grilled Salmon Fillet which was cooked to perfection (cooked thru and still very moist) with rice pilaf and sautéed spinach, topped with a light sauce. It was the perfect choice for me. For desert... it was hard to decide as all of our favorites were offered. We ended up with the brownie and caramel ice cream.

    I was disappointed that the sunset menu listened on open table was not available as we made our reservations for that time. I was told it was for locals only and we were not allowed to order off of that menu. It shouldn’t be listed if out of town visitors are not allowed to take advantage of the menu pricing. Didn’t feel like there was any give in the conversation. Service was not the best. View was amazing. Food was unseasoned.

    We had an excellent experience at the Beach House. Our server was accommodating, friendly and the pace of our meal was perfect. I ordered the salmon and my husband ordered the firecracker shrimp and sand dabs. Both were delicious. They have a full bar and a very well rounded wine by the glass selection. We highly recommend the Beach House.

    Our second visit this year and again a very nice experience. We will return, God willing🙏🏻🌺 Open table menu is old, entrees do not allow you to add side salad or cup of soup for $5 - you need to order separate. FYI open table.

    Ordered from locals menu as recommended. I had steak and turf and it was not good. Steak was so tiny literally. Smashed broccoli was unusual and other things on plate not worth mentioning. A mishap with kitchen, our ticket was overlooked is what the waiter said, so we waited 30+ minutes before our food arrived. Our table was a party of two. Not sure if this is the normal service so I can be understanding if the food we had was good, but it was not. The views are great from inside. That’s about all I can say.

    Our waiter and the wait staff were incredible. Very friendly and efficient. Although we ordered medium rare steaks, we were served steaks that were medium well and well done. The pork chop was delicious. The appetizers we ordered were firecracker shrimp and calamari which were my personal favorite. The desserts we ordered were tiramisu and crème brûlée, and all the side dishes were delicious. Our waiter was extremely accommodating and funny. Worth a re-visit 😉

    Wanted to love it, my beef dip au jus was so greasy, did not sit well. My husbands tomahawk pork chop was under cooked. He was not well after. No discount , one free dessert which we really didn’t want. Never really complained before but for price disappointing. Server was excellent was just the food that didn’t make the cut!
