You also have to pay more just to get rice with your fish (if ordering a "poke boat") which feels like a rip off in my opinion. Ahi tuna ($14 for 1/2 lb) itself is solid and good quality for what it is in this area. The sauce is described as a sesame soy sauce with spicy mayo. It's on the sweeter with some savoriness, light on the sesame, and not so much salty. I do like the flavors, but the poke isn't marinated long enough for them to seep through the whole fish chunks. Has a very slight kick from the chili flakes.

It was lunch time on a Wednesday, and I was on my way to try Nick The Greek, but as I turned the…read morecorner from Old First onto First street, I saw smoke billowing from a pop-up outdoor BBQ, and I decided to try that instead. They were set up on the corner of 1st and Old 1st, in the little dirt lot by the mural that says "Welcome to Downtown LIVERMORE". I ordered a Tri Tip sandwich with grilled onions, peppers, and BBQ sauce, with sides of corn bread and baked beans. Total was $17.50, and I paid by Venmo. The people running the BBQ were kind and easygoing. I told them I'd be taking my food home in a backpack on my motorcycle, and they assured me it would be wrapped up tight and bagged for safety. After I got home, I opened up the bag and found a nice warm sandwich wrapped tightly, and my two sides packaged in little plastic containers. I was a little surprised when I noticed the corn bread and beans were cold, like they'd been refrigerated. When I opened up the lid on the corn bread, the nicely browned crust peeled right off with the plastic. I think they should probably wrap the corn bread in a little wax paper to prevent that from happening. After microwaving the corn bread and beans, I got down to eating my lunch. The sandwich came in a nice thick roll, which I liked. It was a little crunchy, so I think it was toasted. I thought the Tri Tip was decent. The meat was nice and tender, with a slightly smoky flavor. The sandwich had a lot of veggies on it, but I found those to be a bit watery and not super flavorful. For grilled veggies, I would expect to see some charring and to get some of that smoky flavor, but these looked and tasted like they had been sauteed with no seasoning. I liked the BBQ sauce, and I would have liked a little more than I got. Probably best to get some extra sauce on the side. The corn bread was good, but really sweet. I think I'd prefer it with less sugar. The beans were delicious. Overall I'd say it the food was alright. Could be better in several areas, and I'm sure they will get better as they receive feedback from local diners. BBQ is certainly popular in this town, but you still have to mind the details. I definitely didn't regret my decision to get BBQ instead of my original plan. I got my lunch from a local street vendor out in the sun, rather than an air conditioned franchise restaurant, and for me, that's always a nice change of pace. I look forward to trying again.

The last time I ordered "coconut water with pulp", they gave me a canned coconut water that was put into a cup and said I needed to say "whole coconut" when I order. Why are there two almost identical items on the menu?? That's confusing. Same thing happened when I ordered "basil tofu". They gave me fried rice with tofu in it? Apparently there's also basil fried rice with tofu in it. If there are similar items on the menu and the order is unclear, the restaurant should clarify when the order is placed over the phone. I will add that the restaurant remade my order (and made sure to be rude about it). Lastly, there was a hair in my most recent to-go order. WITH A FOLLICLE. I'm done here.

When we arrived home I unpacked & cleaned everything, and noticed I didn't get a Chardonnay, so I emailed Cabana Dave's right away to check to see what to do. I followed up with another email on 5/13 with no response. UPDATE Dave called me back personally today-he explained that they've been swamped & he said sorry for not getting back to me sooner. He has the wine & I can pick it up tomorrow! I love that they are helping local businesses during this time, and really I'd give more stars if I could get someone to respond to my question. I'll defiantly order again, mistakes happen but it's great when they are fixed! Thanks Dave!

She laughed at and corrected me during our brief conversation, making me uncomfortable and quick to move on to another caterer. I am sure she had no ill intentions but as someone who has worked in customer service for seven years this was an unacceptable way to be treated. It came across as rude and thoughtless. I am giving this two stars instead of one because I hate to poorly effect this catering company's ratings because of a phone call, but I was very put off by this interaction.

I ordered the 1-meat combo with 4 ribs. Decent size for a solo eater that comes with 2 sides. Garlic mashed potatoes were tasty. The side salad was good and the dressing came on the side. The ribs were on the dry side and a little burnt to my liking. Needed a steak knife to cut the meat off the bone. Otherwise, it tasted good. Burger was moist and flavorful. I'd love to come back when I'm more hungry earlier in the evening.

The staff was not very attentive during our visit, and the service could have been more consistent. The brisket nachos were the highlight and had good flavor, but the rest of the food was not especially memorable. I have had better barbecue at other restaurants and even at home, so the meal did not stand out enough to justify a return visit on its own. This seems like a better place to visit for happy hour, drinks, and a lively atmosphere than for the barbecue itself. Beyond happy hour, I probably would not make a special trip back.

Highly recommend their special rolls as well such as the crunch spicy tuna roll (for that tempura crunch) and salmon lover special. If you're not that into sushi, they have bowls and bentos (udon, chirashi, tonkatsu). Really filling as it comes with miso soup and house salad. Overall, their fish to rice ratio is just chef's kiss. I appreciate how friendly their service is and how moderately priced everything is. More on the affordable side and large group friendly. Love this place downnnn.

No depth, no layers, no real saffron punch. Just yellow rice doing the bare minimum. The bigger issue is how it's assembled. You can tell nothing is cooked together. The rice goes in first, then they literally count out the seafood and place it on top so it looks loaded. Shrimp, mussels, clams all just sitting there instead of being worked through the dish. Because of that, the seafood tastes like it was boiled separately in broth with no sear, no color, no character. Paella should be cohesive. This feels more like a rice bowl with seafood garnish. It looks good in photos, but once you dig in, it's very one note and very mid. For twenty bucks, I expected more technique and more flavor. This is basic street food execution dressed up to look generous. If you're craving real paella depth, this isn't it.
