The seafood was fresh and each dish was tasty. I especially liked the crab cakes & the shrimp scampi. Generous portions. The service was fine. Parking can be a little tough in this neighborhood depending on when you arrive. Peace.

First time here and trying Bay Park in SD…read more There were about 10 open tables inside and 3 open tables outside. Hostess said it was a 20 minute wait. So we went to the bar where it was full and waited 5 minutes for a table to open up. We ordered the lemon pepper shrimp appetizer, michelada, and Maui draft. The michelada was delicious. For dinner we had the sushi tower, panko fish taco and the cod fish and chips. The lemon pepper fried shrimp never made it out. The sushi tower had wonton chips and a red, green sauce on the side with pickled ginger and wasabi. My order of fish and chips was slightly disappointing. This was a cheat meal for us so the fries were cold and hard. Note to kitchen: don't serve cold, hard French fries. The cod came in 3 pieces and had a nice tartar sauce. The fish taco was huge but it was dry and needed either more sauce or lemon. Hostess: 1 star Bar staff: 4 stars Kitchen: 2.5 stars Result avg= 2.5 stars Wish our dining experience would have been better. I would have bought a shirt.

(5/5) El Viejon…read moreSeafood is a hidden gem and one of my favorite seafood spots in San Diego. The restaurant has a great vibe, an excellent seafood selection, and delivers big flavors. The seating area is small and parking can be challenging, but the food more than makes up for it. The fish tacos were outstanding--some of the best I've had in San Diego. Both the smoked fish taco and the beer-battered fish taco were incredible and packed with flavor. The seafood tower was also amazing, fresh, and beautifully put together. The only item that missed the mark for me was the al pastor taco, which was a little too sweet for my taste. Everything else was excellent. If you're looking for quality seafood, amazing fish tacos, and a casual spot with great energy, El Viejon Seafood is definitely worth a visit. Service was nice and fast. Good tasting salsa selections

We also got a half dozen oysters and shrimp ceviche, and you could tell everything was really fresh with that satisfying "seafood crunch" in every bite. It's a small place, so seating inside is pretty limited, and the music was a little too loud for my taste, could definitely be turned down a decibel or two. Other than that, I actually prefer this location over their Scripps Ranch location. Service is always A+. Definitely worth checking out!

The Cajun fries are my absolute favorite, they stay crispy and don't get soggy over time, and the flavor is amazing. I've been back three times in the past month, and I haven't been disappointed once. The atmosphere is great, the restaurant is always clean, and the music makes the experience even better. I'll definitely keep coming back

This place missed the mark for me. There were little to no instructions on what to do. The guy who…read morehelped us out was super nice, but not as informative maybe because of the language barrier. We were left to kind of guessing what kind of restaurant it was. The menu was also confusing as well as the hotpot experience. I guess you get you ingredients, weigh it and then they put the soup of your choice in your pot... I'm not sure why they weigh it? The heavier the more expensive it is? They did have a lot of seafood options, so that's a plus. The pre-set menu had some good choices. We chose some type beef stew dish [$16.95]. It was just okay for me. Think bulgogi meat but with stew/sauce. Had it with some rice and the Crispy Pork app [$6.95] which turned out to be the best thing we had there. Also tried their Brown Sugar Rice Cake for dessert [$6.95] and it was okay too... that whole meal was whatever, honestly. The place was clean and the guy in the front was attentive. Parking in that plaza is horrible, so be sure you make your trip worth it! This trip was unfortunately not worth it.

It was great to come to this location to celebrate my Bestie's birthday. She chose this place and…read morewe all love it, so it was perfect. There were five of us ladies, and it was really nice to be able to enjoy crab legs, adult chicken tenders, mocktails, and some people got cocktails. When we arrived, we had to wait for the whole party to get there and so it was only about a five minute wait while the others parked. NOTE: Parking is a challenge in this shopping center. I highly recommend parking on the side streets. Luckily my friend that I rode with was able to get a parking spot within the first three minutes of us arriving. The place was not packed, which was good. There were only about 20 people dining when we got there. As soon as we were seated, it was great because we were seated next to family members that we didn't know we're going to be there. That was really cool. Overall, the visit was perfect. The service was great. Brian was our server. For five people we ordered: 2 crab leg combos bags with House sauce mild, 1 order a sweet potato fries as the appetizer, 1 adult chicken tenders meal with a side of House sauce, and 4 bowl sides of rice. They give you so much rice that I would recommend two people sharing the bowl. The rice is made perfect perfectly with perfect sticky level and perfect tender consistency. Our crab legs were delicious and very filling as well as the corn and potatoes that comes in the bag. The house mild seasoning was perfect. I have to say that the sweet potato fries were a bit spicy and peppery. Overall, we had excellent customer service, a good time, and the place was clean, which makes it extra special. I will definitely come back to this location again.

Crab Hut used to be one of my absolute favorite memories from my college days. Hoping to relieve…read morethose good old times, I drove an hour and 40 minutes each way and spent over $200 to bring a takeout feast all the way back home. What I got in return completely shattered those nostalgia and raised serious food safety concerns. First, the shrimp was a complete disaster. It was impossible to peel, and the meat was totally mushy, powdery, and stuck to the shell--a dead giveaway that the shrimp was spoiled and degraded before even being cooked. Because of the heavy Cajun spices, the bad flavor was masked at first. However, I always have the habit of sucking the juice/tallow out of the shrimp heads. Yesterday, as I sucked on several shrimp heads, I noticed a distinct, unpalatable sour/foul smell. I stopped doing it immediately, but it was too late. I was sitting on the toilet with severe diarrhea the next morning. I ended up consulting a professional about the mushy shrimp texture, only to confirm that the tissue breakdown was due to severe spoilage. By the time I realized this, the damage to my stomach was already done. To make matters worse, the snow crab legs were painfully salty. The meat inside tasted even saltier than the seasoning sauce on the outside, rendering them practically inedible. When you drive nearly 2 hours and spend over $200, you expect freshness and safety, not ruined memories and food poisoning. I am profoundly disappointed with how much their quality control has degraded. I will not be coming back.

We've driven by California Fish Grill several times. We kept on pointing it out and saying we…read moreshould go there! We were out on our morning walk and realized we were standing in front of the restaurant. So, we decided to walk on in! We were quickly greeted by their employees. There were a couple of kiosks to make your order. There was a big menu behind the counter. Yesss, you can also make your order at the counter! We ended up ordering the grilled plates. You pick your protein, your sauce, and two sides. I chose the salmon, garlic butter sauce, kaleslaw, and opted to pay for the sweet potato fries! The second order was the rock fish, kaleslaw, zucchini, and chipotle sauce!! We loved what we ordered! Everything tasted fresh and made to order. They even customized the zucchini order. It came with rosemary and we are not a fan. The only disappointment was that they were out of the Sea Bass and cauliflower rice. There was someone eating the fish and chips and that really looked good!! ;) We will be back to try out other menu options. There's outdoor seating available. The week we were there was a heatwave so no one was sitting outside. Restrooms available for guests, we did not use it. Amp
