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!

The staff is incredibly welcoming. The location is in a nice place where the ocean breeze comes through perfectly, and the food is really good! I had spam musubi and chilaquiles. Both dishes were tasty and filling. No complaints here, and overall a really great first impression. I'd love to come back and try something else!

I came here on a Thursday afternoon around noon. 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.

She was polite, had great conversation with us and it was a delight to start our day with such pleasantries. The view was beautiful, the weather was perfect and my endless mimosas were yummy. My husband ordered the pineapple michelada which was a bit sweet for his liking. I asked Emily if they had Bloody Mary's and she said she makes a great one. This is where we had another round of great conversation as the servers are also bartenders. That keeps them busy and I was impressed! She didn't disappoint and my hubby was happy with his drink. I had the avocado toast and it was delicious! The bread was to die for! As I write this I find my mouth watering. My husband has the steak and frites, as though the steak was a bit tough with sinew, it was still tasty. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience. The slam dunk was our server Emily. She is a great addition to the restaurant and if you get a chance to request her, you won't be disappointed. Well done Beeside !

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 can't tell you how many times I've been here since May of this year, and eaten a LOT of pasta, but also some pizza, and quite a few meatballs. I even told my office about this spot and we had 19 people come in. Dining as a couple or just hitting the bar is great, the chef is from.....Italy, I can't remember where in Italy but I recall it's a famous wine region. My girlfriend loves that both the Chef and the owner are Women, and straight from Italy. I really like her food. It is not easy to get fresh pasta, and she serves F R E S H pasta for every pasta (that I know of). There are other things like chicken marsala, and.....seafood, although I can't recall all of them, I know they have a seafood soup because I've pondered it. They do have great clams and mussels in a spicy tomato broth. But I have yet to try the seafood soup. For a large party, I think it's important to remember a couple things, they have a smaller kitchen, so it comes out in waives, but it's not very noticeable. And the price, you honestly can't beat the price. I'm gonna emphasize that last one a lot, you can not beat the price. The view is visible from both their patios and up to areas in their bar. My favorite thing here might be the pesto, and I add salmon to it every time. it's the perfect post workout food.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think the poke here is better than the poke in Hawaii. Or at…read morethe very least, it's as good as the upscale restaurant-level poke you'd get there. And I'm someone who was born and raised in Hawaii and lived there for 18 years, so I don't say that lightly Last time, I got the poke plate with brown rice and greens, and it was delicious. Today, I got the pan ahi belly and my husband got the ahi belly bomb, and both were SO good. The quality of the fish is seriously insane. The only thing that wasn't great was the crinkle-cut fries, which were obviously frozen, but we didn't go there for the fries, so it's okay lol. Just beware that the line is super long on weekends. I highly recommend going right when they open on a weekday if you want to avoid the wait!

It's cleaner and more spacious, which I really enjoyed. There's also plenty of parking and outdoor seating, which is a huge plus. Medium Poke Bowl w/ Shoyu Ahi Tuna & Spicy Salmon - Unfortunately, this was a complete miss for me. I'm sorry, but it just wasn't what I was used to getting here for last 3 years in San Diego. Maybe it was an off day or because they were super busy, but the Shoyu Ahi Tuna didn't really taste like anything. There was barely any shoyu flavor, and it honestly tasted more like salted ahi. The texture of the tuna was also off. When I tried picking it up with my chopsticks, it would literally tear apart. It felt very mushy and lacked flavor. The Spicy Salmon was okay, but it had this weird aftertaste that I couldn't quite describe. On the bright side, I really liked that they sprinkled furikake on top, and the fish portions were pretty generous with big pieces. Fish Tacos - Pretty standard overall. At $6 per taco, they're definitely on the pricier side, and I was wishing there was a little more fish. That said, the tacos had good flavor and were seasoned really well. The salsa also complemented them nicely. Overall, the new location is a huge upgrade in terms of the space and convenience, but unfortunately the poke itself just wasn't hitting for me this time.

They do have a patio as well as indoor seating. We had made a reservation and sat indoors. The service was good and they were helpful with the menu. I wanted something light and decided to go with the poke bowl. It tasted very fresh and the portion size was perfect for me. I wish it had a bit more sauce on it, and there wasn't very much edamame in it, but it was still good. I think next time i would just ask them to go heavy on those things. It did have a good amount of the pickled onions. Id order again. I also tried a bit of the lox flatbread which was also pretty good, i could really taste the dill and it was a good alternative to a lox bagel. The amount of salmon and feta were a good balance. We tried the beet salad which was very light, and a small portion. I dint think I'd order it again just because there are other things on the menu if prefer, but it was good. Id recommend coming to try Mia's and then taking a stroll to the nearby shops to browse.

We went over Labor Day weekend and were still able to get a reservation pretty easily. Parking int he area was a bit difficult to find, but that was probably to be expected for a holiday weekend (there is public parking on the street + parking lot across the street).

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!
