"The Socali burger is one of the best burgers I have ever had! Highly recommend! The next day went back and had the fish tacos- just as good! Food is fantastic, view is awesome, and atmosphere is fun!"

"My food, which was trout, came out very good. My son's burger was not bad either. My husband ordered a steak, which came to be a total disaster. We had to send his plate back to get cooked, then we asked for a steak sauce, the bottle of A1 we got was almost empty and inside was water. it seemed like someone put an ounce of water and rinsed the bottle and instead of throwing it away they put it back and served it to a client. I tried to pour the sauce in his plate and ended up pouring an A1 flavored water in his food, which he could not eat. Not to mention that we had to ask for everything and by everything I mean utensils too. Maybe it was just one time bad experience for us, but that will definitely keep us out of there in the future."

"what i dont like about this location is that it does not try to take advantage of the view of the ocean and the enclosed patio does not keep the wind out"
