"Would you like me to cut your fish now or after your lunch?" I didn't know that was a thing. I couldn't get myself to freeze any of our haul.

Everything tasted amazing. I had the clam chowder and a half dozen Pacific oysters and absolutely loved both. Only small bummer was that I had a few too many shell fragments in the oysters. Since oysters were the main reason I came in, I'd just love to see a little more attention paid to the shucking process moving forward. Overall though, it was still a really enjoyable experience and I'd definitely come back.

The entire process leading up to the event as far as coordination goes, was very seamless when working with Jessae, we can't thank them enough! All of our guests loved the food and drinks. We had about 50 people and it was the perfect space. I wish I had more pictures of the food because it was delicious. Everything was very fresh and our guests were extremely satisfied with the options and quality. If you're considering using them for any event I highly recommend. The views were unbeatable. We'll be going back on our anniversary to eat here again and can't wait!

We attended a private wedding rehearsal dinner cocktail hour this weekend at George's at the Cove…read moreand had such a nice experience overall. The setting alone is hard to beat -- the sunset view was absolutely beautiful and made the evening feel really special. I even got a great selfie with the bride with the ocean in the background! The event itself was very entertaining, the food was good, and the drinks were also good. There were a couple little hiccups with the drinks during the evening, but honestly nothing major enough to take away from the experience. My only real criticism was with the hors d'oeuvres service. They kept bringing the appetizers to the same table instead of circulating to the different spots where our group was seated, which created a bit of a bottleneck at times. I think it would have flowed much more smoothly if the servers had distributed the food more evenly around each corner of the event space. That said, between the atmosphere, the views, and the overall vibe, it was still a really memorable evening in a gorgeous location.

She is an absolute standout, and we will absolutely be back--hopefully seated in her section again. Highly recommend!

We decided on the yellowfin ahi poke bowl (seared ginger scallion style) and paid a bit extra for the load it up! option, which added seaweed salad, avo, edamame, cucumber, and cabbage salad. It was yummy! The ginger flavor was not too overwhelming, and it really came through in the ahi. We also got the carne asada beach bowl, which unfortunately didn't have as much flavor as we had hoped. The portion size was pretty generous and overall the ingredients seemed fairly fresh.

They brought out different dips, guac, chipotle aioli, salsa and lime. No chips or anything to dip. The margarita was made way too sweet and they added a lemon(?). The actual meals were lackluster. I think 6 giant shrimp for one and overly deep fried shrimp in the other. Pork and beans as a side plus rice. I wouldn't go back. Tons of other places. We waited over 40 minutes for two shrimp plates.

Wife got the margarita; it was nice. I really enjoyed my peach and ginger mocktail. Great stuff. If you get the waffle fries but don't like spicy food, consider asking for 2 aiolis instead of aioli + Sriracha ketchup. Not sure if they'll do it but the Sriracha ketchup is definitely spicy.
