    Overpriced food and drinks, and extremely slow service at the bar. No happy hour to speak of. Gorgeous views but they are hindered by the swaths of tourists and long lines. I would not go back.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great little spot while staying at the resort.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great view of the bay as well as a beach access if you wanna lounge[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] service was great and bartenders remembered what we ordered from the previous night, which was awesome. We went a couple of times while we were there but only once ordered food we decided on the nachos which were OK but I think they would've been better if we would've added Kearny Asada or something like that because they did look a lot better when we saw others come out so if we ever went again and ordered them, that's what we would do.. [[HIGHLIGHT]]they also had live music on one of the nights which was nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . Prices are a little on the higher side, but that's what you can expect on eating at the resorts and all we definitely go again.

    Korean salad, poke bowl and fish tacos (grilled)

    Good place for lunch or dinner if at Paradise Point. I would recommend the burger and the poke bowl. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of shareable plates with a great seaside view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    $28 burger

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is fantastic, used to be the old Vacation Village resort.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Rented a boat for a day of fishing, utilized the public courtesy docks and stopped at noon to grab lunch here. As a former SoCal resident and fisherman, I've always wanted to visit this location as there is a little lagoon connected where fishermen will release awesome fish and stuff so they can live in the lagoon! Big yellowtail, lobsters, etc. are in there to observe. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Amb is a 5 out of 5.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was great as well, drinks always full. Food on the other hand not the reason you go there. I had the $28 burger. Ordered med rare, received the slightest patch of brown/pink color that was on the verge but f med well. Fries ok.

    This was the bartender was loud, vulgar, and disrespectful. The woman!

    Barefoot Bar & Grill at Paradise Point - Friday, July 3rd, around 1:30 p.m. We had just checked into Paradise Point and were excited to kick off our Fourth of July weekend with lunch at the Barefoot Bar & Grill. Unfortunately, it turned into one of the most disappointing customer service experiences we've ever had. We understand that holiday weekends are busy. We know mistakes happen, and we're the type of people who give others grace. Our food came out, but our Reuben sandwich never did because it had accidentally been left off our order. When we asked about it, the bartender apologized and admitted it was his mistake for not entering it. We completely understood and weren't upset about that. What happened next is why I'm writing this review. A female bartender, who appeared to be in her 20s or early 30s with dark hair pulled up into a ponytail or bun, became frustrated with another guest who questioned the wait. Loud enough for the entire bar to hear, she said: "What the f' did you expect on a f-ing Fourth of July weekend? If you don't F-ing like the f-ing  service, go somewhere else." The entire bar went silent. A younger couple nearby and a Black gentleman sitting to our left looked over at our friend with complete shock. We all just looked at each other in disbelief. There were families and children within earshot who heard every word. Ironically, when it came time to pay our bill, the service suddenly became very quick. Before that, we watched another bartender spend more time handling his wallet and counting money than helping customers who were waiting. This review isn't about a forgotten sandwich. Mistakes happen, and we had no issue extending grace. It's about witnessing a bartender speak to paying customers in such a vulgar, disrespectful, and unprofessional manner. Everyone has stressful days, especially on a holiday weekend, but there is never an excuse to treat people that way--especially in front of children and other guests. We left feeling disappointed, not because of the food, but because of the complete lack of professionalism we witnessed. It put a damper on what should have been a great start to our Fourth of July weekend at Paradise Point.

    CALIFORNIA HALIBUT SANDWICH
    Roozbeh Z.

    We were there on a Saturday noon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were plenty of open seats, and they have a clean restroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were not any towels in the restroom though[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was ok but were a bit anxious to get the orders, and w big odd if you ask me. I got a open faced chicken sandwich. The sandwich had only one piece of bread, but man it was DELICIOUS. The chicken was super crispy and the sauce was tasty. My wife's H was libut sandwich was ok. She liked everything else but the actual fish and thought the fish could have cooked better. We got hotdogs for my son. It is very rare that he eat all of his sandwich which happened at this place which shows they can cook Overall, I would go there again.

    Beautiful

    Great night, beautiful surroundings. The environment was what made it special. The birds and fish were so interesting. Large fish were swimming under the bridge.

    Poke Plate
    Audrey B.

    I ordered their poke plate. The serving was huge! It was worth it for the price! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have full sized bar, and they have a lot of seating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went during labor day so it was crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wait was about 40 mins but we were able to grab one of the tables at the bar area so we seated ourselves right away. The food service was fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location had plenty of parking and you get a nice view of the mission bay.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    We reserved a table for 5 and this is what they gave us! We were full grown adults and were very uncomfortable!!
    Brayan S.

    We booked Barefoot Bar & Grill for 5 people at 6:00 PM on Sat 09/27/25 (confirmation text received). [[HIGHLIGHT]]On arrival, we were seated at a four-person table that was unclean--used napkins, drink cans, and sticky surfaces were still on the table when we sat down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff didn't offer to move us to a proper 5-top or promptly clean and reset the table. For a place that takes reservations, this felt unprofessional and unhygienic. We left disappointed before ordering because the basics--honoring the reservation and providing a clean table--weren't met. Please improve table assignment, cleanliness, and guest communication. We were a guest at paradise point and didn't expect this

    We have come here many summers and docked our friends boat. We decided to swing by for dinner. It was a short wait, we were able to walk around and look at sting rays and fish right by the hostess area. This spot has great views of the bay, lots of outdoor seating, and the food was good as well. I had fish tacos and my husband had the fish sandwich. Overall, we were very pleased with the service and meal. My only comment is that the prices are a bit high - likely because it is part of the resort. We love sitting on the water. We also had a baby and dog - they could accommodate all of us.

    Carne asada torta and fries
    Bryan M.

    To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this restaurant other than a place to grab some food when you didn't want to leave the resort and though I was partially right, there were some things that surprised me. The staff were very kind and expedient, the patio was fantastic, though it was a bit too cold for us to sit out there, and the place seemed a lot more lively than I thought it would've been, especially given that it was the off-season. My date very much liked her fish tacos, the side of fries with my carne asada torta were great, the torta itself was massive, which I am always a fan of, but it had a weird taste to it, almost like cinnamon. The lighting in the back was super dim and almost gave off creepy vibes and the food was ridiculously expensive for the type of food it was. Barefoot Bar & Grill was good for a quick meal when you are too lazy to go out and find something better, but if you came here with a family, you'd be spending a fortune.

    A beautiful outdoor spot to grab some good food at fair prices (for being in a resort on the edge of the bay). Super kind service and the food was delish. I almost ate all of my husband's sweet potatoes fries, the best I have ever tasted.

    Ruben sandwich
    Schaun D.

    Here's another place that's hidden in plan sight at Mission Bay. This was our first time at this place. To be honest I had never heard of it and wanted to try it. We were there to meet some people that had moved out of the area for sometime. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place had large tables and space to accommodate 12 or more at one setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not too long after being seat our drink order was taken. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While we waited there was a band playing music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Then this bird decided to join in on the festivities. No one fed it or anything it just set and watched us. When got our beverages it wasn't that long before taken the food orders. There was so many choices to of delicious food to decide on. So we all had something different from burgers, Ahi Poke, Ruben sandwich, Cali burrito, to nachos. No one complained while dining. Until the Mia Tia, someone said it was to strong, my was just fine!!! So just remember if you order one keep in mind it could be too strong for some people. So it maybe best to start with something else or not. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place has so many beautiful scenery options to choose from and that's it's probably good to go during the day to experience more.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For me you can choose from up front close proximity or far away dining options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outside with heater option allows a more panoramic view to enjoy the surroundings at night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Be aware that this place has $20 dollar drinks and depending on the number in your party that could add up quickly so be prepared. Like I always say try it you may just like.

Bartenders were cool. Nick was our fave though for sure. He made some mean cocktails. Solid liquor selection plus a list of cocktails to choose from. I initially ordered the something and picante (can't remember the full name) and found it to be way too sweet. Then switched to a basic Lalo with soda and lime to cleanse my palette. After tried their version of an espresso martini which was quite good but made with nitro brew and kahlua so a bit on the sweeter side. I ended the night with my fave drink though which was a Hugo spritz and it was perfectly balanced. Definitely will be going back, especially for the love band Sundays. Parking is all street parking.
