It was nice to pass time by playing darts and watching the basketball games while we waited on our food Kicked off with the crab fries that were surprisingly tangy with a hint of sweet Cajun flavor that was enough for four to munch on. From there our dinner arrived quickly that was two orders of the fish-n-chips, salmon bites, and crab alfredo Everything was just right and was portioned perfectly for everyone to sample each other's plate. Hard to know you can get a quick bite of seafood so close by without a lot of fuss. It was day 2 of NCAA March Madness and had tvs galore so you could catch the games from any angle We'll be back to sample many other dishes again very soon!

One of my favorite restaurants to visit. I frequent here several times a year since. I usually…read moreorder the pomegranate martini, which is delicious. My favorite is the Mahi Mahi, it comes in a delicious sauce. If you get a side, try the au gratin potatoes. This is not a fast-food restaurant, you are going to wait for your food to come out. You're going to get bread and butter and your drinks, then your salad or soup, then your entree. It's going to be a long dinner. Plan on that. It's not a place where you are in and out in an hour. It's ideal for a socializing dinner, business dinner or a long date. They have tiramisu for dessert, even though it isn't on the menu. It's delicious. I've only had a not great experience once or twice and honestly it depends on who your server is. Overall, I highly recommend trying it out if you have never been.

Missed having a good seafood restaurant in town, other than RL. Not a lot to choose from since we…read morelive in Ohio and all . So I was excited to try Club Oceano. Walking in you immediately notice the elegant vibes emitting from the beautiful, modern light fixture and gorgeous bar. We were seated pretty quickly. Our server, Jayson, took great care of us during our whole visit. We started with Oysters Rockefeller and boy were they delicious. We also tried the lobster bisque and some yummy, warm ciabatta. They were excellent. Our main courses were the Perfect Pair and Lobster Mac. Loved the Lobster Mac so much! The Perfect Pair was good, however our only complaint was the mashed potatoes. Just not a fan of the ice cream scoop of potato in the middle. In hindsight, probably would have subbed for a different side. All in all though, great restaurant and can't wait to visit again.

Take time to notice the stuff around you while here from the old bar to the pictures on the wall. Our server Cori was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Very pleasant and professional. Now for the food. Everyone really enjoyed their food. Was celebrating my dad's 93rd birthday. Dad and Stepmom said the salmon was one of the best they have ever had. That says a lot considering their age. My wife and I each had a sampler platter. Both were excellent and well prepared. The wife did say if you are not a horseradish fan don't get the mashed potatoes. Such a wonderful meal and great way to celebrate dad's 93rd.

Also observed one of the employees coming out to his car and retrieving a dog, letting him out for a few minutes then putting him back in the car. Goes inside and gets some food and brings it to the dog and feeds him the food. The vehicle was parked in a handicap parking spot with no handicap tag. The service was not as expected. The blond lady that has worked there for many years was delivering our food from over the wall and not walking around to our table. She did this at least three times. The service could have been better. Sad that this place has gone downhill. We won't be returning. Don't recommend at all.

Sonora Grill Seafood Steak Bar & Grill…read more A note on stars; Sonora Grille is on Burkhardt, and in a small strip mall; I am not inclined to award a strip mall restaurant 5 stars; however.... PULPO BRASAS v PULPO KORA Our server suggested Brasas because she thought Kora was too spicey for us - bad advice - we recommend Kora. What does octopus taste like? Not chicken, not lobster, not...; octopus taste like octopus, and Sonora Grill offers best octopus in Dayton. Began researching Yelp for special Birthday restaurant - usually goto Flemings, Oceano, and/or similar properties. Travel Tip: do check menu Spanish definitions to avoid order errors. An advantage of residing in the Greater Dayton Metropolitan Area is the fact that there are several dining options and Sonora Grille was not on our radar. Also there seems to be a healthy turnover of restaurant properties, and we do attempt to be aware of our options. Our search: Yelp Best Seafood restaurants Greater Dayton Metropolitan Area. One expects Jays and Oceano to be listed; however, there are a few which we would not list. Reviews and ratings can be subjective, and personal preferences may vary; we have no interest in sports bars or "loud" fried food eateries. We can depend upon Yelp whilst researching: Here are 5 Star Reviews for Sonora. Several of these reviews encouraged us to visit Sonora Grill Seafood Steak Bar & Grill. Phenomenal and authentic food... Best tasting OCTOPUS, in Ohio of all places!! Did not expect a fancy seafood place inside of a latin market! I was looking for the perfect place that serves steak and seafood for my husband's birthday..... This place is a hidden gem.... Best food I have ever had in Ohio, great service as well.... We have studied the menu and our plan: FRITURAS DE MAR 21.99 bring 2 small plates to divide Calamari rings, octopus pieces, and seasoned shrimp coated in crispy flour, served with tartar and chipotle dressing. CALDO BIRRIA -- 20.99 serve in two bowls Caldo birria, also known as birria en caldo, is a rich and flavorful Mexican stew that has gained immense popularity for its tender meat and savory broth. PULPO BRASAS 28.99 Perfectly cooked in a butter marinade with garlic, soy sauce, and chipotle served with rice and salad. Mounted on corn husks. FILETE NAYARIT 24.99 Curvina fillet covered with shrimp, octopus, and garlic bell peppers served with rice and salad. Pasta del Mare Seafood mix cooked in tomato sauce, onion with fettuccine pasta. Churro's We do expect to request take away boxes following dining. Throughout our 60 year relationship, my wife enjoys desert as an appetizer, and today is no exception. The Churro's are delivered in a flash; we discovered this special treat nearly 50 years ago during an expedition to Spain and Portugal. The very best Churro's were prepared by roadside vendors, and our friends, Bill and Ellen Rose agreed. I also requested that CALDO BIRRIA be served prior to the entrees, and this is a delightful dish. As experienced Sunday Diners, we arrive at 11:00am to avoid the "church rush." Church folks have not yet discovered this excellent venue. Venue: a distinct Hispanic dining event; large, well-lighted restaurant with very loud music - we encouraged management to decrease volume. Sophia was our delightful young server; her English was passable; she did not quite understand why my wife wanted churros as an appetizer, but the churros soon came, and my wife observed that these taste like Spain. Sonora Grille reminded us of some fine restaurants in Puerto Vallarta. My dear wife finally elected CAMARONES AL GRILL, and we offer 5 stars to menu and to dining. Overall a Five Star experience; pays to get off the beaten path. Following lunch, my wife suggests an Open House to view Benham Grove venues for an upcoming event. Next she opts for a Sunday Estate Sale....

Vallarta Mexican Seafood…read more All the vibes of a Mexican Pacific Coast restaurant. Finally persuaded my 100% Italian wife to visit Vallarta Mexican Seafood, and she loves this place. Caveat: Vallarta Mexican Seafood is several rungs above the average Tex-Mex joint in the Greater Dayton Metropolitan Area. We really enjoy Sonora Grill Seafood Steak Bar & Grill, and Vallarta Mexican Seafood merits special attention as well. On our radar: La Poblanita Mexican Market and restaurant. A note on stars; Sonora Grille is on Burkhardt, and in a small strip mall; I am not inclined to award a strip mall restaurant 5 stars; however....

My wife insisted on MAR Y TIERRA - Mexican Surf and Turf. Grilled chicken, steak and shrimp served with rice, charro beans, sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes - expect a togo box. My son elected QUESADILLA DE ASADA A flour tortilla filled with your choice of grilled meat, stuffed with cheese, grilled bell peppers, onions and tomatoes. Served with rice. And I selected Steak PARRILADAsteak cooked with bell peppers, tomatoes and onions. Served with rice, charro beans, lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo and flour tortillas - expect a togo box.

Absolutely excellent sushi from the selection to presentation and flavor. We went for lunch and had…read morejust sushi then had to return for dinner just to try some other items. Service was perfect, greeted right away, friendly and attentive throughout our visit. The sushi presentation was beautiful with a lot of attention to the details. Minimal rice, just enough to surround the filling and hold together, not too much to overpower the texture. All three rolls were different with unique flavors and textures. The ones with multiple fish selections on them were done perfectly balanced with enough of each to taste them all. We also got the crab rangoon which were the sweetest little pillows filled with a creamy crab flavored goodness. For our return dinner visit we again got sushi and crab rangoon but also got two entrees so we'd have leftovers the next day for traveling. The fried rice isn't quite what we expected but the shrimp and beef were cooked perfectly and the flavors were spot on. I highly recommend Ozu852, especially for sushi, and will definitely return when in the area.

We decided to come here for lunch on Saturday after a long morning of errands - my husband was…read moreoptimistic based on reviews glowing it was a "hidden gem". We love sushi - travel all the way to columbus just to have some from the unofficial "japantown" at kenny center Upon arrival at 2 pm, not super busy but the store appeared bright and well decorated. We were directed to pick our preferred seating. Menus were brough quickly, drink orders we taken and brought out quickly. Sprites, came with a cup of ice. This was were it went downhill. My husband is allergic to shellfish, and we eat out understanding there is a chance of cross contamination based on what we order. He had a mild reaction - we determined his reaction was from the glass with ice, which indicates it was not washed well. Not a good sign... We ordered house lo mein, king salmon nigiri, tuna nigiri, tuna roll, and one chicken and vegetable hibachi. Sushi? The rice was long grain and unseasoned... it fell apart as my husband picked it up. The fish was.. ok.. not wowed. Even the king salmon was...just salmon and not anything amazing. My tuna roll never made it. My husband said this was the first time he had bitter ginger... he spat that back out - ginger is suppose to be a palate cleanser... Lo mein? Was ok. It was not greasy, which is what I usually encounter. Noodles were soft, but ok. Flavor.. lacking.. and there was a notcieable amount of sauce at the bottom.. so it was too runny. The hiabachi? The fried rice, saddest fries rice ever. It was hard middle and .. flavor was offputting.. this is coming from a girl that was raised to eat rice everyday in many forms. I love durian, and this rice manage to offput me.... the flavor was just weird. The hibachi chicken and veggies were the best part..sauce flavor was great and the veggies were cooked very well and chicken was juicy. So overall... would not recommend due to cleanliness (based on contact contamination from a cup) and... food was just meh
