I've also tried the Cajun salmon burrito, calamari, and Baja seafood chowder, and every single thing has been delicious. The seafood is always fresh, the seasoning is on point, and the quality is consistent every time. Definitely one of my favorite spots when I'm craving seafood!

He began to put together two empty tables together for us but the female cashier returned and told him not to. Meanwhile a few other couples came in after us and sat at the large tables of four. After waiting 20 minutes we finally got a table. Ordering our food at the counter is a bit different but I guess people are use to it. Price is reasonable.

He was attentive and made a great Manhattan. We were seated right at the glass overlooking the beach. Stance was our server. He was attentive and friendly. The food was excellent. Don't pass on the calamari, its strips, not rings and tentacles. I had the burger, it was tasty and cooked to perfection. The rest of the table had the halibut special. They all raved about it. And of course, no meal at Jake's is compete with a slice of Hula Pie! One piece was enough for the table. Valet parking is available for $10 after 4:00 pm.

We chose this place to eat somewhere with good views by the water while we were in the area. It…read moreseemed pretty popular since all the reservations during peak dinner time / sunset were booked, so we made a slightly later reservation around 8. They honored our request when we arrived to be by a window to be able to enjoy the view although it was already getting dark by that point, so it wasn't bright enough to really enjoy it but I'm sure it is a gorgeous location if we had been able to get in a little earlier! We had the grilled prawns appetizer which was so delicious but which also then surprised me with how bad my meal was after having such a great app. My husband's burger was fine and he enjoyed it, but the pan roasted chicken I ordered was just very bland. I'm not very picky but there was no seasoning on it at all, just a plain pan sauce made from the juices of very plain chicken. It was originally plated nicely before I took the photo I included, but I had cut into it to make sure it was cooked thoroughly before I tried it since it was very thick and it was cooked fine, just not seasoned with anything that I could taste or see visually. I had to ask for salt and pepper to add to it and our waitress never came to ask how our food was once we got it, so I had to wait for someone else passing by to ask for that. It wasn't too bad to eat but just not very enjoyable so I didn't eat most of it, and when our waitress came back to finally give us our check and I declined a to-go box for it she still never asked how everything was, so we didn't complain or bring it up. For such a good location and how good the app was, I would still recommend them just maybe not that dish!

I love everything Mediterranean and seafood so trying Beeside Balcony was an obvious must. I've…read morebeen to the La Jolla location once and now been to the Del Mar one probably 10 times haha. It's closer to where I live. Every time I go, I have the best experience. Not only is the food amazing, the views-unreal, but the service is always great. My friend and I always sit in the same spot it's like the bar but not. It's its own little spot to the right of the bar and I think it's the best seat in the house. Food- I've had pretty much everything here I think! Nothing ever disappoints. My faves: -Bee's Board- #1 by far. I always order extra pita. The pita is like a warm pillow. You can't not inhale it, it's that good. It comes with honey goat cheese, artichoke hummus, veggies, olives, a ton of good stuff! -Crab cake- a legit blue lump panko crab cake that doesn't use a ton of breading and no crab like most places. It's super fresh and delightful. -Lamb & beef meatballs- I don't know if it's the lamb/beef combo but these are so good. I pretty much get them every time I go. Loads of flavor and always cooked perfectly. -Truffle Parm fries are a must if you like truffle. I've had a ton of other things that are all fabulous but those are a few of my faves. Oh! We also got a dessert last time we went. I am not a huge dessert or sweets person at all but we housed it and it was bigger than my head if that tells you anything. It was a Baklava ice cream cake. Come onnnn. It had walnuts, nutmeg, cinnamon honey drizzle. I was very annoying eating it because every bite I had to dramatically sigh because I couldn't handle how good it was. *When indulging, always go for the champs deals they have I believe on the weekends!

I came back for a date night after really enjoying my first visit, but unfortunately this…read moreexperience was a little disappointing. We were seated in a pretty dark corner, so I politely asked the hostess if we could move to one of the several open tables in a brighter area. She told us we couldn't because a party of five would be sitting there shortly, which I completely understood. About 10 minutes later, though, they seated a party of two at the exact table we had asked to move to. There were also 6+ other open tables throughout the restaurant, so the whole interaction felt strange and unnecessarily inflexible. Our server was very nice, and I had enjoyed this restaurant previously, but the seating experience definitely put a damper on our date night and left us feeling a little unwelcome. Food is okay. I visited on 8/14 at 4:30pm

Customer service was ok, they were nice but could've been more attentive & alert. We came here for my Goddaughter's BDay so it was a big party of 14. So yes they can hold big parties which is cool. Most of us got the Steak, Pesto Chicken Sandwich & Burger meals. We all liked our food, fresh & good, one of the better burgers I've had. The chips & salsa was a no tho so I'd skip that next time. Like a said customer service was nice but there was a couple mishaps. One, a waiter dropped a whole soup on my Goddaughter's mom's back & hair & dress, yes he said he was sorry but could have meant it a bit more.. Luckily my friend didn't say nothing was calm got up went to the bathroom with friends to clean up came back & just said, this sucks I just had my hair done. The waiter could have offer a free drink or appetizer at least. Then when the bill came & we paid we noticed all our checks were wrong some of us paid for other people's items. They didn't know how to fix it so we just fixed it ourselves by paying each other on Venmo what ever we owed each other. It was an inconvenience, food was good tho & spot very nice & loved the burger but not sure I'll come back because it is a bit pricey & just expected a bit more customer service wise.

Ambience- the location speaks for itself There is beauty everywhere How can you not be in a good mood sitting here in this restaurant? We sat outside by the water fountain/pond I will say now it would have been great to have music but I don't recall hearing any! Food we started with the coconut shrimp I will say these were a little over done to my liking But the sauce and mixture with the coconut was done nicely without being overpowering. Salads we had the Caesar salad- real dressing so heads up if you prefer bottle version. Nice croutons not big portions. Dinner: my husband as always did the filet with jumbo shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus and I ordered the Wagu burger. For the record if you go back into any and most of my reviews I order fish and especially on the water in San Diego but I couldn't help but notice the guys burger next to me and well I ordered it. I am so happy I did too!!! So it was one of the best damn burgers I have had in a long long time! Geez was it good My husband's filet was cooked perfectly he loved that it wasn't tiny! The Mashed potatoes seasoned and flavorful! Dessert: I did a crème brûlée- it was good but if I come back it won't be for the crème brûlée! It will be for that beautiful, burger!!! Well done Brigantine!

There's a hostess who seats you when you enter,…read moreand there was plenty of seating available with only a handful of other people dining at the time. Definitely make sure to check out their daily specials! When we visited, they were offering 50% off bottles of wine, which was a nice deal. Here's what I ordered: *Coconut Shrimp: This was absolutely phenomenal! The shrimp were fried perfectly, nice and crispy, and the dipping sauce really brought everything together. I highly recommend this dish and would absolutely order it again. *Shrimp Tacos: These come with two tacos, and each one had three large shrimp, so they definitely don't skimp on the shrimp. You can choose a side, and I went with the french fries. The fries were phenomenal, very crispy. Unfortunately, the tacos themselves were probably some of the worst tacos I've ever had. It honestly felt more like eating a salad piled onto a tortilla than eating a taco. There was way too much sauce, which made everything extremely soggy, and the tortillas wouldn't even stay together. I eventually gave up and just ate the shrimp out of them. I definitely would not recommend this dish. Our waitress was nice and did check on us after our food arrived, but I will say the service was pretty slow overall. My friend and I were catching up, so it wasn't a huge issue for us, and I'm sure we could have flagged her down if we were in a hurry to close out. She did notice that I wasn't happy with the tacos and offered to bring me another tortilla, which I appreciated. However, the soggy tortilla wasn't really the problem. It was the way the tacos were put together in the first place. I would have appreciated a little more effort to address the dish itself after it was clear I wasn't enjoying it. As far as the kitchen goes, the timing wasn't bad at all. The appetizer took around 10 minutes, and the tacos came out less than 10 minutes after that. Overall, it's a cute spot with convenient street parking, and that coconut shrimp alone was worth trying. I was just really put off by my experience with the shrimp tacos. Definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.

We split the the Heart of Palm Ceviche! So amazing and it was big with a beautiful presentation. Just delicious. I could have eaten that alone with no other items. It was a vegan Ceviche and the fish was not missed. My friends ordered really cool cocktails and raved about them. My one friend said that this is the only place she can get this particular cocktail and that she comes here just for it. I ordered 2 tacos (Mr. Asparagus and the Baja fish taco). Both delicious and they came with housemade potato chips (which I thought was weird until I tasted them). I was so full but I couldn't not eat the chips because they were so good. One friend ordered the Quesabirria and she didn't love it. It was very strange as it was wrapped in fried cheese. They also ordered the other tacos and loved them. The only one that didn't get a thumbs up was the Quesabirria. I am looking forward to introducing this restaurant to other friends. So good!

Honestly, 9/10 for a veggie taco because the filling was well seasoned and dressed. The asparagus taco was unfortunately a different story. The asparagus was prepared well, crunchy on the outside but still tender when you bite into it. However, it was not seasoned as well and paled in comparison to the Yogi. The shrimp taco was okay. I think they were very heavy handed with the toppings and dressings and did little in terms of the actual preparation of the shrimp. The chicken taco on the other hand was DELICIOUS. The meat was seasoned well and so juicy. The pineapple salsa was the perfect touch!

I ordered the branzino, described as wild-caught from Greece, and asked for it without sauce -- with fish that good, it shouldn't need dressing up. Instead it arrived overcooked, half-submerged in a broth of eggplant, peppers, and canned garbanzo beans, despite my request to have any sauce served on the side. It was, honestly, the worst branzino I've had anywhere in the world. Service never improved -- no one checked on our food, and our water wasn't refilled once during the meal. For a restaurant charging fine-dining prices and marketing itself on its views and seafood, this felt more like a tourist trap than a special night out. We won't be going back.
