Came to BLK for a bridal shower on the outdoor patio and it was such a great location. Oceanfront views with lots of seating and a fire pit. The drinks were amazing, an array of types were ordered and enjoyed. The kobe bites were phenomenal and not too much food. The servers were fast, helpful and fun to be around, definitely a fun spot. read more

BLK Earth Sea Spirits - Kobe Bites - Seafood Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I honestly don't know where to begin. This is a sensitive topic in today's society, and what I experienced may have been a misunderstanding--or it may have been exactly what it felt like. I can't say with certainty. As I mentioned in my profile, I started writing Yelp reviews because I want to share my honest experiences and stick to the facts. My hope is simply that someone reading this might find it helpful. So everything I'm writing here is exactly what happened. Whether you think it's a big issue or a small one is up to you. My friends and I were celebrating one of our closest friend's 40th birthday, so we wanted to make it extra special. We decided to spend the evening enjoying the ocean view. When I called to make the reservation, I specifically requested a window table. I was told that wouldn't be a problem, and I even received a confirmation text after the reservation was completed. Each of us drove about 50 minutes to get there. It was a special occasion, so we arrived excited and looking forward to the experience. After checking in, we were taken to a booth--not the window table we had reserved. I explained to the hostess that we had specifically booked a window table. Her response was simply that all the window tables were full. I reminded her that we had reserved one and had been assured over the phone that it would be available. She replied that this "happens sometimes" and that window tables are actually given on a first-come, first-served basis. Then why even take reservations for specific seating? As I looked around, I noticed an empty window table that could easily seat four people. I pointed it out and asked if we could sit there. She told us that table had been specially reserved for someone else, so we couldn't have it. Not once during this entire conversation did anyone apologize. What confused me even more was that the table had no "Reserved" sign and hadn't even been set. It looked completely unused. It made me wonder: Was our reservation somehow less important than someone else's? I wanted to speak with a manager, but my friends asked me to let it go so we could enjoy the birthday celebration. We reluctantly accepted the booth. Our birthday girl was wearing a short dress, and climbing into the high booth seat was uncomfortable for her. I ended up facing a wall instead of the ocean view we had specifically reserved. To make matters worse, the booth seat was dirty enough that my friend had to ask our server for something to clean it. The plates, forks, and knives already set on the table were also dirty enough that we wiped everything down with napkins ourselves. I considered asking for clean plates, but by that point I honestly felt like we'd be treated as difficult customers, so I didn't. Not wanting to let the experience ruin the celebration any further, we focused on the food instead. We ordered the Angus burger, lobster pasta, beef salad, and mashed potatoes. To be completely fair, the food was good. I have no complaints about the taste. However, I don't think the quality justifies paying more than you would at many other restaurants. If you're paying a premium because you're enjoying a beautiful ocean view, that's understandable. But if you're paying the same premium only to sit in a booth facing a wall, I'd honestly recommend going somewhere else instead. When our server learned it was my friend's birthday, they brought out a donut topped with ice cream. It was delicious, and we genuinely appreciated that gesture. Here's the part that has stayed with me. During our entire two-and-a-half-hour dinner, that empty window table remained empty. No one ever came to sit there. It left me wondering whether we were treated differently because we were three Asian women. Maybe there is another explanation. I truly hope there is. But from where we were sitting, it certainly appeared that the table we had reserved was the very one that remained empty all night, and we had simply been told that it was reserved for "someone special" because they didn't want to seat us there. As an Asian living in the United States, I try not to assume discrimination whenever something unpleasant happens. I've met many kind people here. In fact, several white women walking by smiled and wished my friend a happy birthday, which was genuinely thoughtful. But when you experience something you simply can't make sense of, it's hard not to question what really happened. Even setting aside my concerns about possible discrimination, I can't overlook the restaurant itself. The cleanliness was disappointing, and while the food was decent, it was average. For those reasons, I'm giving this restaurant 2 stars. Would I come back? Absolutely not. There are far too many restaurants with beautiful ocean views that also know how to honor reservations and make their guests feel welcome. Also, if you pay by credit card, the restaurant adds a 3% credit card processing fee to your bill. read more

Food: I live in Beverly Hills and this was trash. And $30 for the shrimp salad, are you kidding? Caesar salad: $16. But add chicken for $8 and it's a $24 crappy chicken Caesar. Service: We were the only people there and the waitress was SO robotic and made everything so awkward that we told her everything was fine just to get her away from us. The tables, floors, chairs (and even menus) were sticky AF. Don't go here if you value food, your wallet, and sanitary environments. Just go next door (Jolie & Belles or something). read more

We celebrated our anniversary on Sunday and chose to come here for dinner. We enjoy dining with a view which this place has. We started with the full size wedge salad that the kitchen split for us. The blue cheese dressing was very good. I'm a ranch girl; blue cheese can be hit or miss for me but this one was a hit! We also got complimentary rolls (I did ask if they had them, they weren't just automatically brought out). They were delicious! For our main meal we got one ribeye steak, 1/2 order of brussel sprouts and the appetizer size of lobster mac and cheese. We both loved the brussel sprouts, the mac and cheese was really good too, rich and flavorful. The ribeye steak was just ok to me but husband enjoyed it more than I did. I wish we would have gotten the New York. We told them it was our anniversary so they gave us a dessert. She said it was a cronut. It was delightfully scrumptious. Different than the cronuts I've had in the past, more of an airy texture if that makes sense, but oh so good! read more

Last night our party of 10 had an amazing dinner while enjoying a beautiful view of the beach shoreline. We requested to be seated outside on the patio. It was a bit chilly but the heat lamps kept us all warm. We ordered Lamb Chops, Lobster Mac & Cheese, Calamari, Oysters, Salmon, Meat Loaf, Wagu and Kobe Burger. EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious!! My granddaughter and her boyfriend received a very nice FREE dessert congratulating them on their engagement. Which took place earlier that evening at the beach. I was able to take some pics of the food but unfortunately I forgot to take a pic of the beach view. If it's not too cold outside I suggest seating in the patio area. read more

BLK is tucked away above the beginning of the downtown Huntington Beach area right after the pier. The menu is extensive and the food is good. What was impeccable was the service! You can get drinks customized if you don't like the cocktail selection and everything was fantastic. I really enjoyed the garlic mash and my steak. It was an extra windy day so the warmth of the environment and cozy ambiance was very welcoming. Highly recommend if you are in the downtown area. read more

Visited on a Wednesday evening. Was able to get a last minute rez as the place was empty except for the patio. Enjoyed a beautiful sunset view. Service was excellent from the initial greeting by the hostess/manager to our server Carla. Both were very helpful with recommendations for a first time guest. Had a very delicious clam chowder followed by a shared Fork & Knife salad. For our entrees we had the Bass and Kobe Meat Loaf. Meat loaf along with the accompanying gravy was too salty. Overall a nice experience with a great view. read more

Had such a great experience!. The food was honestly outstanding--everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. But what really sets this place apart is the view... absolutely stunning, especially around sunset. The vibe is perfect for a date night--elevated but still relaxed, with just the right mix of ambiance and energy. Service was attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole evening feel easy and enjoyable. Definitely one of those spots you go to when you want a memorable night out. We'll for sure be back. read more

Well this was a special treat. Our server, who was also the bartender I believe, was Gabby. She was awesome. Just want to start out by saying that. In case she sees the review, I told her my name is Jennifer (because it is, but on yelp and in real life, I go by my second first name / first middle name, Rae. I asked for her name so I could write a review and she joked that if it was a bad review then her name was Jennifer, and I thought it was funny so I told her my name I have never tried sea bass before. If it doesn't taste like this again, I don't want it. Holy crap. I was a little sad I didn't get a shellfish fixing in, but when I tried the sea bass, it was so soft and buttery that it satisfied my shellfish craving! I forgot to take a picture of my oysters because I was so excited. They were perfect sized. Not too small, not too big. The shells were clean. They and the condiments tasted great. Definitely some of the best oysters I've had. The swordfish came with half lemon cut in half grilled. It was the perfect amount of lemon (for me) to squeeze all over it. The risotto was delicious. I loved the mushrooms. And the Brussels sprouts are just as good left over as they were fresh. I wish there was more but I think we got half sizes? I forgot.. The wedged salad was good but I personally would have liked a little more blue cheese and I like bacon on mine but I think the candied walnuts were in place for that. My Bloody Mary was very flavorful and I'm grateful for the extra olives!! We had a great spot half inside half outside. There was a roof but it wasn't enclosed with 4 walls. It was very unique. I liked that the sun didn't hit us but we could still see the beach and feel the breeze. This whole menu looked phenomenal. When I see a menu like this, I have the tendency to shut down and get sad because I want it all and know I can't have it. I always like to try new places when I visit California but I do believe this place will be drawing my attention again... and again. read more

TLDR: nice restaurant with beautiful oceanfront, balcony views with good service and decent food. The views were better than the food. Don't go if you are expecting wild caught seafood options. Full version: Visiting town for a conference, a buddy of mine was looking for a good restaurant near the water with a variety of options. Parking : We (group of three) made a 30 minute drive from Anaheim to BLK. Perhaps because I was from out of town, where to park wasn't clear and I was trying to jockey for street parking. However with a quick call to the restaurant they guided me to an underground parking garage that offered validated parking (2 hours). Greeting: It was a Tuesday night so the restaurant was quiet and we were seated quickly on the balcony with heat lamps which made it very comfortable. Our server Medj came, and although he was newer to the team he showed polish and provided some recommendations based on guest favorites and even some of his personal tastes. Food: I was disappointed to hear that there weren't any wild caught options despite being directly next to the Pacific. There were plenty of choices to appeal to many different pallets. Beef, lamb, chicken, and more. We started with grilled artichoke and the tuna tower. The artichoke was quartered, making it easy to share. The tuna tower was tasty. For an entree, I ordered the sesame crusted yellow fin, via a "mystery pick" asking the server to make a choice for me (only reason for ordering fish despite my earlier comment about not being wild caught seafood). The food came out quickly and the flavor was decent. Both of my friends enjoyed their entrees, scallops and center cut filet mignon, respectively. The sides that we had were Brussels sprouts, Mac and cheese with lobster and garlic mashed potatoes. We could've skipped the mashed potatoes or ordered half size portions of all of them. Kevin, the manager, stopped by to ensure that we had a good experience, including turning on a second heat lamp. All in all a good dinner. Service: 9/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Food: 7/10 Value: 8/10. (Driven by the option to have half-sized side portions) Bottom line: Would recommend the restaurant, and would eat here again. Next time I would try the Kobe Meatloaf! read more

Food was outstanding! Drinks were amazing! And Rhiana was phenomenal! Great vibes, very attentive and energetic. Cant wait to come back.

Tip: There is a 3% surcharge when you pay with a credit card. I don't mind the surcharge if I am told in advance...but we were not advised of the fact before hand. I noticed this on the bill. BLK is located on the second floor across the street from the beach. The view of the sunset is beautiful when the weather is nice. The day we dined here was nice, just a bit breezy. Our table was located next to open glass doors. We asked if they could close the doors and the staff was very accommodating. Service was friendly...but the food was not impressive. Entrees are served ala carte except for the Kobe meatloaf. You have to order sides to complete your meal. Sides come in half size or full for sharing. Some side options include, asparagus, brussel sprouts, mushrooms, garlic mashed potatoes, jasmine rice and more. We ordered Rib Eye Steaks, Chilean Sea Bass and Kobe Meatloaf. Of the three different entrees, I thought the Chilean Sea Bass tasted best. My rib eye steak was not as tender or flavorful as one would expect. The Kobe Meatloaf was nicely seasoned. The Chilean Seabass was cooked to perfection and nicely seasoned. The highlight of our meal were the 2 desserts. Butterfinger Mud Pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding Ala Mode. Overall...I give BLK 3 1/2 stars. Unfortunately, the food was a disappointment which brought their overall score down. read more

This is my go to restaurant when I have something to celebrate or someone to impress. I was here last night to do both! My reservation was for 6:30 and we arrived early. The parking is so easy and they validate the first hour! We stepped into the elevator and were delivered to the front entrance. The hostess was lovely and welcoming and smiling and happy to see us! The outside table I had reserved was perfect with the ideal sunset view! The menu is very sophisticated and au courant! We went with the margarita flatbread appetizer, the shrimp bisque soup, we split the seafood skewers and the mushroom blue cheese risotto. The water and cocktails and appetizers were quickly delivered by our super efficient and friendly waitress, Marissa, I think! The food was wonderful, every single bite! The sunset was spectacular! I still love this place, I always enjoy my evening every time! read more

Had an amazing time with our party of 11 with 1 baby. Dorothy helped us out on this Monday afternoon and she was amazing. Service top notch and we even decided to get a round of Green Tea Shots (more tart than sweet) to end the celebratory graduation lunch. Dorothy was so kind to bring out a sweet treat for our baby daughter and also a celebratory dessert for the graduate. She also offered to take so many photos of our group at the table, with the pier view outside, and the christmas tree setup they have at the entrance. We all enjoyed our food including Lobster Mac and Cheese, Grilled Artichokes, Calamari, Risotto, Kobe Burger, Kobe Meatloaf. We will definitely look to come back again especially with the friendly and accommodating service Dorothy gave us. We feel like we made a new friend out here in HB. read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday dinner and I was quite disappointed with how the quality of food has dropped since the last time I dined here. The fried calamari was rubbery and the batter would fall off the squid as you picked it up so it was difficult to eat. The sweet chili sauce that came with it was watery and tasted off. The seafood tower was fine but the crab was just shredded cold crab meat that tasted like it came from a can. Our tomahawk steak got absolutely butchered and parts of it were overcooked as you can see from the picture. Also who slices and cuts up a steak like this and deems it appropriate to be served. That's literally how they cut it up for us and brought it out. I was honestly really surprised, if I knew they were just going to cut it like this I wouldn't have had them bring it back and slice it up for me.... The quality of the steak was also not very good as well, you can just tell it is a lower quality beef that didn't taste very fresh. Espresso martinis were just okay there was only one flavor that I liked but it wasn't very memorable. Service was good though. But honestly the food was so disappointing, I would not come back for recommend dining here. My friends coincidentally also dined here the following week I did and also felt the same about the food quality. read more

came here for lunch. We were promptly seated and they have plenty of ocean view seating available. Our hostess greeted us right away with a friendly smile. we ordered grilled artichoke, oysters, filet mignon and beets salad. Sorry we were too hungry to take pictures. The food was decent. The service was great. Not only our hostess but multiple servers asked us if we needed anything else on multiple occasions throughout our meal. This place is hidden from the main street. It's located upstairs and you have to take the escalator up. The restaurant sign is located on the side of the building. If you are in the area, this is a great place for some great food, drinks and ocean view! read more

Gabby was our server and she was one of the BEST servers our family has ever had!!! She was extremely funny and attentive. She knew everyone's order and side requests. It was Mother's Day dinner and she really went above and beyond to make the evening special.

Pretty good food, clean, & pretty nice staff. I really enjoyed the lobster breakfast sandwich! Really tasty & great decent portion. Taking 1 star off because it literally took 30 mins to be able to pay for our bill. It was only a party of 5 adults and 2 babies. Definitely not a huge party. Went up to servers twice. Trying to pay bill. Kicking myself for not just paying everything on one card because they reassured us - splitting the bill into 3 would not be hard & they Ended up not even splitting the bill correctly in the end and had to wait soooo long. We would have ended up waiting longer if we didn't go up to the bar and literally stalked them to give us the bills. This was brunch time 10am - 11:45 am. Really wasn't busy and honestly dead the first hour. I would go back. I would just be ready to pay right away read more

Rhiana was hands down one of the best servers I've had in years. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel genuinely welcomed--not rushed, not scripted, just warm and attentive in a way that's rare these days. Her recommendations were spot on, and you could tell she really knew the menu and cared about the experience we were having. Every check-in felt perfectly timed, and she anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask. It's been a long time since I've left a restaurant saying, "Wow, that service was exceptional," but Rhiana absolutely delivered. She elevated the entire experience, and because of her, we'll definitely be coming back--and asking for her by name. read more

I can't say enough good things about BLK! I recently held my dad's Celebration of Life here and it was perfect. Planning this event was a little overwhelming for me because I wanted to make it the best tribute to the most amazing dad. The event coordinator, Gina, eliminated half of my worries by being so helpful and understanding. She checked in with me frequently leading up to my event, helped me choose the menu, was patient with my fluctuating guest count, and even surprised me with a little memorial gift in honor of my dad. On the day of the event, her and her staff did a great job tending to myself and my guests. The layout of the tables on the patio provided enough room for guests to mingle and to accommodate the six easels I had brought with me for photo boards. Gina provided me with a Bluetooth speaker and microphone so that we could share our memories and play some of my dad's favorite music. I had so many guests remark to me what a beautiful location I had chosen and how amazing the food was. If you're planning something special and want a beautiful venue to impress your guests, I highly recommend BLK Earth Sea Spirits! read more
