    Chicken tenders, great seasoning on the fries.
    Eric R.

    No need to pack a lunch, they have it all. Can't beat the view, and plenty of seating. Descent variety and quick service. We don't bother packing a lunch- we just plan on Doho cafe when we come.

    Adult smoothie
    Iryna N.

    This place is great. The line does take quite a long time though. We were already full, so we only got smoothies. You can make them with the adult option, which is what we did. However, they forgot to add alcohol to one of the smoothies. The atmosphere honestly can't get much better since it's literally

    Cool little hang with some live afternoon music and beverages. I do not recommend the smoothies which is why we stopped by. It's basically a melted snow cone with fake fruit syrup. And not worth $9.

    At the café, waiting for food
    Courtney M.

    My friend lives down here, so whenever we bring the kids to the beach and have a beach day we'll come up and have food and drink drinks. The food's pretty decent. Prices have definitely gone up. The ambience is what gets you it is beautiful down here. You have the ocean right in front of you people by being in good moods and enjoy enjoying the day. There really is no service. It's all self service. There is a bar that does wine beer in seasonal spritzer. Around the café there's also rentals so you can rent bikes and things for the kids. Beautiful area to have lunch. Or even to order your food and then go sit back out on the beach.

    Had a great time at Sips and Sound event yesterday. Great crowd! We love hanging out here. Best food on the beach by far and employees are the best. Bella - awesome job on event. It was perfect day

    Kerry S.

    Fun spot right on the beach with great food and local bands. We haven't tried the food yet, but it looks delicious. You truly can't get any closer to the ocean! Just a heads-up, parking can be pretty pricey

    Vegan Brocolli Salad
    Sheila C.

    Very cool spot right on the beach with an amazing view. It's a typical beachfront setup where you order at the window, pick up your food, and find a seat. Service was fast and friendly. The food was solid as well--everything was fresh, tasty, and cooked well.

    Bloody Mary
    Chelsea B.

    Great spot for casual beach date! The fish and chips were phenomenal. The fish was perfectly breaded. Big enough to share. Looooooove the seasoning on the fries. The Bloody Mary was boozy and had a freshly cooked bacon. Service was friendly and prompt. There's two bathrooms nearby very clean. They have cornhole and a nice view of the ocean from anywhere in the restaurant. Lots of shaded seating. There is a paid parking lot be careful of the QR code I got charged $40. It was resolved. That's not the restaurants fault though. I would definitely come here again.

    Iced tea
    Rosalie S.

    You can't beat the view. This place also adds music on the weekends making it a great place to watch the sunrise. They also have fresh iced tea. The food is typical food stand grub just slightly upgraded. It's definitely a great place to vibe.

    The snack bar located inside Doheny Beach. They have your typical beach foods. I only got a soda since I just ate. You can rent bikes surfboards etc. I noticed they also have a few beers too. This is a nice place to chill.

    Food, service and ambience are great!!! Please bring back the band, "Don't Call Me, Shirley"!!! They are amazing!!!

    Amazing event. I love how this place is growing in all the right ways. Shout out to Bella & Trevon! Thank you for making Saturdays extra fun!

They could have had more servers there for sure. That said, the guy serving us worked his butt off, gracefully, friendly, and attentively. Any gaps were filled by the bartender delivering drinks and (I think) the manager here and there. We were well taken care of. Food was great, bacon old fashioned my buddy had looked (and reportedly) was incredible, beers were great, staff were awesome (despite being low in numbers). Highly recommend.!

The parking is definitely limited, as I saw from other reviews on Yelp. On a Sunday evening it was very easy, however. The menu is fairly limited, and I wish they had a few more fish options, though the salmon I saw looked absolutely incredible. I had the chicken caesar salad. The chicken was a large portion, and so tasty. The dressing was SO good. They did forget dressing on both of our salads which was kind of annoying for a simple caesar (so we had to get a side of it). That being said, once we did get dressing, I seriously could've drank the stuff it was so yummy. They also scorch their tomatoes in the salad to perfection. I also tried the crispy tuna appetizer, which was surprisingly different from similar versions I have had at sushi restaurants (not in a bad way). The fish was very fresh and I would order this appetizer again. I think it came with five fairly small pieces (just so you know how many to order for a crowd). If you are feeling dessert, they have an incredible (and massive) butter cake!

    (4.5 stars) Been here 3 times now to take my wife wine tasting before heading to dinner. The self…read moreservice wine tastings are an absolute favorite of ours. Great service and friendly staff. Everyone is very knowledgeable and shares little tidbits about the wine while you enjoy. A few Suggestions / observations: 1. The self service wine area has a massive wine display that limits access to patrons who are there. A thin long belly bar would make it much more social and accessible. Constantly feel like I am bumping into people or wine bottles just to grab a taster then standing in a corner to get out of the way. 2. The massive LED tv's would be so nice if there was nature or a beach scene or something to set the ambiance. Having a massive advertisement of an appetizer stock photo and happy hour fliers illuminating half the store is not enjoyable, they could be utilized in a much nicer format. 3. Would love to see even more of the self serve wine tasting dispensers in the future! They are a hit and are such a fun concept.

If you can, try the warm smoked almonds and olives; they're smoked perfection with bright lemon zest and paired beautifully with whatever you're having. The food throughout was absolutely delicious, with thoughtful, elevated small plates that felt refined. The standout on the spring menu? Those beef Wellington puffs--tender filet mignon wrapped in golden, flaky pastry and served with Dijonnaise!! They were rich, elegant, and utterly irresistible; we couldn't stop reaching for more. 3rd order anyone?! What truly made the night special was the team. From the moment we walked in, the knowledgeable staff was genuinely helpful and enthusiastic, guiding us through their wine selections with thoughtful recommendations that perfectly complemented each dish. Their passion turned a lovely dinner into a memorable experience--approachable yet refined. Highly recommend for a special night out. We left smiling, a bit fuller, and already planning to come back. Five stars!

We sat for probably 10 minutes before anyone greeted us, it was 3:30pm so it wasn't very busy, maybe 3-4 other tables. Every time someone came after that we had to wave someone down for water refills, never asked anyone if we wanted more drinks from the bar, nothing. Had my father in law asked for more ice tea and they never even started a new pitcher in 15 minutes. It was not busy. The place had a to of gluten free options which is a reason I wanted to try it. My server had no idea what gluten was. For a place that had half the menu marked as gluten free I was really surprised she really had no knowledge of the menu, but she was nice enough to go ask some questions when i pressed a bit that I wasn't vegan, and it was like an allergy. The food was good, portions were large enough and everything was pretty good as far as the food. Not sure why the service was so incredibly patchy and absent when we ate at 3:30 and the place was 2/3 empty. It was pretty good, I may try again but for the price point I think the service can be a little better. Nice...but slow. Definitely need more training on the menu! Mid. Not bad. Not great.
