Food and service is pretty good. I got the chicken kabob that came with side salad, rice, pita bread and grilled carrots. Carrots were delicious. I wish the dressing came on the side because it was put on the salad but it seemed like it just went missing or slid down the plate to the rice. I'm not sure. Loved the decor inside and there's a tv on the side that had the Olympics on. We got the shareable hummus for free with the yelp check in promotion. Hummus and pita was good. We tried ordering beer/wine but it looks like they don't have their liquor license yet. read more

Every time, every time, every time the order is wrong. You pay extra for the garlic sauce, you get the yogurt one. You pay extra for the Mediterranean salad, there is no dressing in the container. You call to ask about it and the kid that answers the phone sounds sedated. The food here is good, but I can't do it anymore. It's embarrassing. You have one job, pick the right white-colored sauce and add salad dressing with a SALAD! read more

Solid quick service Mediterranean spot. Although if you come at dinner they may not be quick. No fault of the servers, this place gets busy! I really appreciate that they have marked what is and isn't vegan. As someone with a dairy allergy, this makes ordering a lot easier. For me, the kabob meat was a little dry and overcooked. The stuffed grape leaves were great. And love that they give veggie sticks with hummus if you are skipping the pita. read more

Always a nice place to eat some healthy Greek food. I prefer their chicken kabob and their basmati rice with pita is so yummy! I appreciate how they post the calories of their food on the menu, encouraging some healthy choices! Unfortunately, it is on the pricier side for a "fast food" restaurant, which prevents me from coming here often. Yes, I know this means more quality food... but $15 for a chicken kabob plate and a drink is hard to pull the trigger on. read more

Was looking forward to trying this place and was expecting something fantastic but ended up not really feeling satisfied with the order. We ordered the sample appetizer, chicken and gyro plate and the Norwegian salmon. When you look at the food, it looked amazing but the meats were dry. Falafels are definitely not my thing, and the spicy hummus was not that great. The rice and salad were good and my husband said the Norwegian salmon was okay. Overall, it was a pretty expensive meal and we didn't really enjoy it. Unfortunately, I was busy prior to sitting down to eat and forgot to take photos. The appetizer had grape leaves which I think Costco sells a tastier version. I'm glad I tried this place but I think we will look elsewhere when we are hungry for Mediterranean. read more

I used to love Luna Grill, but management up top is getting GREEDIER than ever trying to cut down on costs. Their food has gone downhill and the prices have only increased. A salad that takes about 1.50 MAX to make costs 10.50 WITHOUT meat on it yet. You want some protein? Get ready to chuck over $3 for crappy cold chicken and $5 for the warm chicken kabob they are ACTUALLY known for... a $15.50 salad with only a few pieces of meat? Insane... They had about 2 pieces of lettuce in my Mediterranean salad, the rest was cous cous. (Add more lettuce people! It's called a SALAD after all!) Also, their tzatski sauce is thin and watery and could be SO much better. They have officially lost my family's business and that will not change until they decide to start investing in their food and their guests! read more

It looks like this place has had an unfortunate round of reviewers recently...... I had a delightful experience with both the food and service, which looked to be the case for everyone there My questions were given thorough attention and we had a thorough interaction about our different takes on why their tables are so awesome. I ended up getting the chicken kids option, and felt like a kid in the way I so excitedly treated it as a feast of kings. The rice left me never putting down the fork... and the chicken! The bread tied it all together perfectly for a little pre-gym snack. Also... I approved of the packaging as it was minimally wasteful compared to competitors. read more

A few days later, I placed an online order about 15-20 minutes before arriving. Since I work nearby, I thought it would be convenient to grab my drink on the way to work. When I arrived, my order hadn't even been started. The employee at the counter seemed unaware that the order had come through until she noticed the printed ticket. I figured it was a busy morning and gave them the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, the exact same thing happened again just two days later. This time, I placed my order 25 minutes in advance. When I arrived, my drink still hadn't been started. The same employee asked if I had already ordered, and when I explained that I'd placed the order 25 minutes earlier, there didn't seem to be much acknowledgment or urgency regarding the mistake. At that point, I requested a refund because I couldn't wait any longer. People use online ordering in the morning because they're on a schedule and expect their order to be ready within the estimated pickup window. If online orders aren't being monitored consistently, it defeats the purpose of offering the service. What's especially disappointing is that I genuinely enjoyed the product and was planning to stop by regularly before work. However, after two identical experiences in one week, I no longer feel confident that my order will be ready when promised. The drinks may be great, but reliability and customer service matter too. I hope management addresses the online ordering process because it's likely costing them repeat business.

The Fig Burger itself was just as impressive with such a unique combo and absolutely delicious. *Steak Sandwich with Onion Rings: this was also a standout. Perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and came with a great dipping sauce that really tied it all together. The onion rings were crispy and on point too. First off, I love that they offer a variety of sides (sweet potato fries, truffle fries, mac & cheese, Brussels sprouts, etc.), though most come with a small upcharge. We had a few drinks and even grabbed a bottle of wine from the bar to take back to our Airbnb, which was a nice bonus. The vibe was relaxed with TVs playing highlights from a basketball game, and the bartender/server was awesome. Parking was easy with free street parking, though that might've been because it was late and a holiday. Only heads up: definitely call ahead about kitchen and closing times, especially on holidays. Online said they close at midnight, but they were actually closing at 11 PM. We were told over the phone the kitchen closed at 9:45 PM, but when we arrived at 9:30 PM, it had just switched to last call. Thankfully, they were kind enough to still get our order in.

Awesome. Came for…read moreMother's Day (with reservation) and it was great all around. It's coastal, cool, breezy, a little upscale but not snooty, chill. Good food and strong drinks. Yours truly had a Bodega Boy; mezcal cocktail with sort of a horchata vibe. I also had the double double burger and it was delicious, perfectly cooked and amply portioned. Btw: get the butterscotch pudding. You're welcome. I left stuffed and slightly wobbly. Fun place, good service. I'd go back.

Cute decor!

I just have to keep in mind that certain items on the menu may phase out like my Pink Lady Beets Salad which I was disappointed when I heard it was no longer on the menu. Anyway, the atmosphere inside is usually very relaxed with a beachy vibe. Importantly, the staff are very friendly and efficient... always providing consistently quick service. I have a positive experience whenever I'm there. The Yelp Community should also make this location a go-to spot to eat happy!!

Paid by card. Seaside Market is located in a plaza and offers a lot of plaza parking. I went here…read moreon a weekend to try the tri-tip sandwiches and deli sides, but ended up going grocery shopping also. (I would recommend the original tri-tip sandwich over the Korean one). There are also tables outside you can enjoy your food, so it makes it a nice hangout spot. It's also close to the beach so you can take a nice walk before or after getting food. There is a great variety of deli sides, produce, and other items. I would say it's a little pricier than the average market, but it's so nice! I would definitely recommend this place and would go back.

I also got the pesto pasta salad but I wasn't the biggest fan. I'm still very interested in trying more from Seaside though! My friend was raving about their fruit tart, so I'll be back to get that for my family's next event. The hot bar was busy but service was quick and employees were really kind. Great guest experience - I'll be back!!
