    The entire visit was lovely; from the friendly and competent greeting and seating experience; to our server MJ who kept the right level of attention and suggestions; to the great food that has just the right blend of familiarity and distinctiveness- always delicious. Great visit.

    Our server was excellent! She helped with a couple decisions and had some fun banter with our child. The food was great and we really enjoyed our visit.

    Gorgeous restaurant, great service. Food portions way too large and just average at best. I don't need a sandwich so big I can't pick it up. Food was more like a good chain restaurant.

    Colin was an awesome host & server. It was my birthday & I felt extremely blessed. The Rockfish wasn’t my favorite but the Salmon was a smash hit💯💯.

    First time at SoCal at SoCal . Busy Saturday evening, but we were able to be seated. Had great server staff. My husband had the grilled cheese and roast beef sandwich and I had the barbacoa tacos; both were fantastic. He had an old fashioned and I had a lemon drop martini. Both were good.

    Everything was perfect including the atmosphere, waitress, service, and my grilled cheese French dip with delicious cole slaw-the best I ever tasted. Everyone in our party was thrilled-two others got the bowls and one other the chicken sandwich. Everyone was a happy camper!
