Desde el momento en que entramos, fuimos recibidos con amabilidad por el simpático dueño. Le contamos que era nuestra primera vez allí, y de inmediato se tomó el tiempo para explicarnos cuáles eran sus platillos más populares y hacernos algunas recomendaciones. Pedimos la tilapia frita y la orden de tostada de ceviche mixto. Todo estuvo delicioso, desde el sazón de los platillos hasta el sabor de las diferentes variedades de salsas. Se nota que todos los mariscos son frescos. Sin duda volveremos. Recomendamos este restaurante altamente.

You can absolutely smell the fish and vinegar as soon as you walk through the door, which I think gives the place a very homey pub feel. I ordered a spiked peach Arnold Palmer, which I enjoyed (and it was pleasantly strong) and a glass of the house white, which was good for the price. Our server was very fast and attentive. To eat I got the tomato soup with a grilled cheese, which was absolutely fantastic. The soup was so creamy and flavorful, and I cannot imagine a better meal after spending all day walking outside in the rain. The fries were super crispy and I liked the batter. My partner and I shared some of their breadsticks, which were deliciously baked (fresh!) and came with a super refreshing basil crema and a nice tomato-y dip. Wonderful all. My partner ordered fish and chips, and was surprised to find that it is one large fillet of fish, not multiple pieces like you would typically expect. He said the fish was fine, but a little tough. Overall, a wonderful experience. I definitely hope to return. I highly recommend this place as a refuge during the cold winter months!

But it's always a nice spot to hang out and chat with friends, you can get seated quicker if you enter through Over & Out, which basically functions as an extension of the main Observatory, with it's own bar and pool tables.

Music playing but not so loud you can't hear the people at your table which is nice and they have several TVs playing various programs. The service was great! We had a couple people help us for different things. They were both so nice. Our food came out pretty quickly as well. The food itself I found to be just ok. I had the rockin shrimp plate with rice (forgot to snap a photo). Everything was prepared well and I thought portions were good. My complaint was the sauce/seasoning. It was over powering and salty. I'm still tasting it the next day after brushing my teeth twice and having other food. I'd go back for the service but not sure I would because of the food itself.

We just walked over to the door. All ready, I didn't like entering with a loud music, I asked to be seated where it's quieter. She said: she'll turn it down. It didn't seem like the music any quieter, so hubby asked her again, and she said: someone may have turned it back up, she would lower it again. The music did get quiet. (There were small children at the time). We ordered from extensive menu. I chose the Empanada de Camaron: 4 fried turnover Empanada stuffed with cheese, shrimp, and vegetable sofrito (mixed with aromatic ingredients then sautéed), accompanied with Mexican sauce. Hubby picked the Chile Relleno: Poblano chili pepper, stuffed with mixed cheese and potato, battered in whipped egg then deep-fried to a golden brown and bathed in delicious tomato sauce. Both were delicious! The relleno was served with rice pilaf with mixed vegetable, he said he didn't care too much for that. I only ate only one of my empanada, because I was filling up with my chips & enjoying my salsa, but I wasn't really hungry. I took the rest home, for later. I love the sauce! I told Adriana, and she said: Oh! You didn't want that? I tried to tell her: I'd like it to go. (I have a feeling we're having problem communicating, she's very nice, though). The service: We were talked to by 4-5 different servers who asked us how we were doing. One: I asked if I could have mild salsa sauce, and she said: No, those were the choices they all have. A few minutes later, I asked a bus boy, but he asked someone else (who spoke English), and he - Alexander - he delivered a warm salsa to our table. He came back again, to ask how it was. The 5th girl who showed up at our table, mentioned to her about our anniversary. Towards the end, we did get a complimentary flan (thank you), but both of our water glass were empty, and we didn't get a refill, we're done. The restroom were clean, and I love the decor of the restaurant, specially the fresh flowers on each table.

Like shrimp? Like Mexican food? You need to eat at Don Kamaron…read more Yes, it's a bit spendy (although less than it appears because the portion sizes are HUGE). Yes, you'll need to dust off your pidgin Spanish to help you order (we were the only customers who weren't fluent). But AMAZING Mexican seafood, really only equalled by Mi Lindo Nayarit in McMinville. They don't take reservations, but it's a very big place and even at 7pm on a Friday we were able to get a table right away. Be warned, though, that if your order goes in after any of the huge tables celebrating quinceañera you could wait a while. It's ok, it takes at least an hour to work through one of those margaritas anyways. Oh, and yeah, they have non-seafood items on the menu. No, you shouldn't order them. If you have a no-seafood person in your group, maybe skip it.
