The standout of our experience was…read moreour waitress she was knowledgeable, engaging, and did an excellent job describing and recommending menu items, which made us excited to try them. Unfortunately, the food itself didn't live up to the presentation. The lobster bisque was only room temperature, and I prefer my food served hot. The ceviche was average and didn't stand out in any way. The lobster roll had good flavor but was also served at room temperature, which took away from the experience. The host was not particularly warm or welcoming, and the restaurant serves Pepsi products, which is a personal downside for me since I prefer Coke. Overall, it was a decent meal, but nothing memorable enough for me to add to my regular dining rotation.

We got the JH breakfast burrito and campfire French toast and they were great. We also got For The Wanderer, which the description says comes with "a drizzle of olive oil", it was way more than a drizzle. That was our only complaint. The thick cut bacon was delicious. Will definitely be back to try different dishes. Love the atmosphere and decor, very coastal cowboy.

Finally tried the place I keep hearing rave reviews about!…read more Upon arrival, we were shocked at the line out the door, but figured it was time to wait and see what the fuss was about. I ordered the peach iced tea and verde bowl. I saw truffle fries while waiting in line, so got those as well. The drink was presented well and tasted great. It's unsweetened which was perfectly refreshing. The verde bowl was amazing. I loved all the greens and it was light but satisfying. The fries were also wonderful. I definitely could not finish them on my own and shared with my friends. My friend ordered the tropical salad and loved it too! The environment is welcoming and fun! I wish we had more time to sit and enjoy. I'd go back, but on a day I have more time to enjoy the whole experience. We had a short window for a lunch break, so ended up having to order and eat back at our meeting.

We always order the beer-battered tacos, purple taquitos, and the Brussels sprouts--they're all incredible. The jackfruit is top-notch and absolutely shines in the nachos. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is what keeps me coming back. The outdoor patio is beautiful, the indoor décor is warm and inviting, and the whole restaurant feels like a welcoming community rather than just somewhere to eat. The staff deserves a special shout-out. Tanner is hardworking, creative, hilarious, and somehow manages to make every visit more fun while providing excellent service. Manager Yassi is an absolute delight and helps create the positive, welcoming vibe that makes this place so special.

Since it's a vegetarian restaurant, I was excited to give it a try, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. We ordered three different tacos, and they were all delicious. My absolute favorite was the Beer Battered Avocado Taco. It was packed with flavor, perfectly crispy on the outside, and the creamy avocado inside made every bite amazing. If no one told me it was vegetarian, I probably wouldn't have even noticed because it was that satisfying. We also tried their house-made Fig Vanilla Iced Tea, which was so refreshing and unique. It paired perfectly with the tacos and was a great choice for a warm California afternoon. To start, we ordered the chips and guacamole, which were fresh, light, and the perfect snack while waiting for our food. Everything tasted fresh and made with quality ingredients. We sat outside under the large umbrellas, and the outdoor seating area had such a relaxing atmosphere. It almost felt like we were having a little picnic while enjoying the beautiful weather and people watching around The LAB. The service was also fantastic. Our server was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or just looking to try something different, this spot is definitely worth checking out!

Would def order them again. The only downside was the parking. We circled the parking lot for a while trying to find a spot before giving up and going to valet. Once we got to the front they told us it was full. My husband ended up dropping me and the kids off at the front while he searched the neighborhood for street parking. Just plan to give yourself some extra time if you're driving.

Huge disappointment for a birthday dinner -- all hype, lacking basic hospitality…read more We came to Ospi to celebrate my wife's birthday with our daughters, but the experience was a letdown from start to finish. For a restaurant with this much hype, the service and execution were shockingly poor. Right off the bat, the pacing was agonizingly slow with massive gaps between staff visits. Our water glasses sat empty for most of the night. The food issues were even worse: Bolognese: My wife ordered the Bolognese, but the waitress never mentioned any dietary details or recent menu changes. As the food runner was setting the plate down in front of her, they casually mentioned that they recently changed the recipe to include pork. My wife doesn't eat pork, but because it was her birthday and she didn't want to make a scene, she basically didn't eat dinner. Filet Mignon: I ordered my filet medium-rare. It arrived completely well-done and practically inedible. I had to send it back, and the replacement didn't arrive until everyone else at the table had already finished eating. To cap off a birthday celebration, the server never even stopped by to offer dessert or ask how the night was going. I eventually had to flag someone down just to get our check. Ospi fell completely flat on service, kitchen timing, and dietary communication.

Thai…read morefood is great, but there are many choices and some seem a little uninspired at times, but I think I've found my new favorite. The shrimp fried rice was a generous portion (all entrées here seem to be), and the packaged sauces are worth liberally spreading out. Fresh and cooked perfectly, the shrimp elevated the old standby. Also exceptional is the Crying Tiger beef, which is perfectly cooked medium rare, and sliced on the bias for a nice presentation, even in the to-go packaging, which is top-notch as well. The Pad Sey Ew noodles with chicken was also outstanding, and collectively, it was enough for two meals. I appreciated their ability to expedite to-go orders via the hostess stand out front in the parking lot. A busy and popular restaurant has to keep their customers coming back for more. I certainly will!

Hanuman Thai Eatery was one of the most disappointing Thai restaurant experiences I have had…read more Social media made this place look amazing, but apparently the hype had more flavor than the food. It was expensive, the wait was long, and the portions were surprisingly small. The Crying Tiger was nearly flavorless and looked more like a one-bite appetizer than a full dish. The mango sticky rice came with extremely sour mango, while the coconut sauce seemed to have forgotten it was supposed to taste like coconut. The Tom Yum pot was so tiny that I almost expected it to come with a magnifying glass. Other Thai restaurants usually serve at least twice as much. The service did not improve the experience. After we had already been seated for about five minutes, the servers asked us to move to another table because the seating had not been managed properly. Overall, Hanuman Thai Eatery was overhyped, overpriced, and not worth the long wait. I would give it negative five stars if Yelp allowed it.

It's unfortunate…read morehappy hour is only at the inside bar, when there's such beautiful patio and view, even when it's empty, since the bar is so dark. But it's still a beautiful restaurant. The lemon Caesar salad was extremely delicious. The dressing was perfect and not overly dressed and it was a good portion for happy hour. Their sushi was also very fresh, tasty and beautifully prepared. We also ordered their espresso martinis - their presentation is beautiful but this is the second time I've gotten them here and they are just kinda of stale tasting both times. It's like the espresso is old or burnt. Eh. Will have to get a different cocktail next time. Overall a good spot.
