    This was a great choice, for indoor seating, inexpensive, creative choices, and chill vibe. The food was fast and the guacamole was made fresh. Definitely worth a try.

    Went here for Mother’s Day and had a great experience! The food and drinks were delicious, and the service was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend for a special occasion or just a great meal out with friends or family!

    Had to sit at a shared high top which was unexpected. Service was ok but it was loud and tough to have a conversation. Food was ok but nothing special.

    We were disappointed that we had reserved a table for four in advance and confirmed our reservation and ended up being seated at the communal table in the middle, right up against strangers. I would have appreciated our own table, or at the very least a heads up that reserving a table might seat us at a communal table. Other than that, the food and drinks were good, our server was great, and prices were reasonable.

    Hi Alexandra, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Surf Club. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our food and drinks. We apologize for the seating issue you encountered, and we appreciate your understanding. We're always looking for ways to improve our guests' experiences. We hope to see you again soon! Best, The Management Team

    Super great experience! The food was amazing. Our server asked if I wanted them to make one of the cocktails into a mocktail for me (I'm super pregnant lol) and that was such a sweet gesture so I didn't feel as left out. Highly recommend to anyone who will listen.

    LOVE Surf Club! My friends were visiting from NY and they loved it. Cocktails were amazing and we had apps, salad, a burger, tacos and EVERYTHING was delish. Service was great & it was a busy Saturday night. Thank you!
