    We came here with a group of 10 people and had no trouble finding a place to sit for lunch. Ordering is pretty straightforward, and there's a display with desserts. I appreciate how they have a decent kids' menu - my boys loved it! I tried the fried calamari, ahi poke bowl, rice pudding, and another dessert that had pistachio (I don't see it on the menu, but it was in the display case). The calamari was really good - I like the breading on it. Nice and crispy and thin. The poke was also pretty good. I should have asked for the dressing on the side, but oh well! The fish was really good, and I had it with quinoa. All of the toppings were great as well. Nice balance all around. But the sleeper hit was the rice pudding. So unassuming at first, but after that first bite - yum! Several people at our table said it was probably the best thing we tried during lunch. So smooth and such a great flavor. Not too sweat at all. And it looks like they might have brulee'd it first? Not entirely sure, but very tasty. Service was decent, and there's plenty of parking in the plaza.

    Looking for a healthy place to eat in the area. My husband found this place. they have a lot of varieties in their menu-mediterranean mostly. i ordered their thai salmon and hubby ordered grilled mahi mahi with french fries and grilled zucchini. the dressing on my thai salmon and the salad is delish. it has mandarin, apple, carrots and nuts. The service is great and the restaurant is clean. Lots of sitting area. The outside sitting is covered with grapevines. ait feels lime you are at the winery kind of vibes.

    Flies, Flies, and more Flies last Saturday Evening. Enter the restaurant at approximately 6 pm on one of the hottest days of the year and both doors were wide open and it was hot inside the restaurant. No A/C on! Asked the waitress why no A/C on such a hot day and she said manager decided not to turn it on. I can't believe they were making employees--especially ones in the kitchen work under these conditions!? It was over 80 degrees in there--probably about 85 really. I was already perspired from the day hauling stuff so I was okay with it. Ordered my Salmon and sat down inside. As soon as the Salmon plate was placed on the table, not one, not two, not three but a team of flies converged on my food. Both big and small flies. I swatted them away and they came back with a vengeance, some flying together in teams. Those little flies stood their ground on the table around my Salmon and refused to move. Now I am wondering how many flies are in the kitchen? Maybe stirred up in the food? That's not a spice I want! I could not get a bite without flies attacking so I picked up my stuff and sat outside on the patio. One fly came by occasionally but not as bad as the infestation inside. I am wondering if this restaurant has an owner on the premises regularly and the competency of the manager? Does the owner know what is going on? Something was very wrong here. The restaurant is behaving like like they will be turning the lights out soon and can't afford A/C? Really cutting costs to stay in business? But I hope not because I really like the Salmon here, but I am not going to be able to return for a while because I am concerned about all the flies. One fly OK, but not the amount of flies they had in that place. Those leaves outside on the patio generate flies and bugs, so it's important to keep the restaurant doors closed at all times and A/C on when hot. They do have a fly zapper inside, but it was not doing the job or overwhelmed? Sorry to report this debacle.

    Love this place! Irvine hidden gem! They have a vast and tasteful menu. The staff are very polite and welcoming and they have a ton of daily specials and events. Checks all the boxes whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a place to lounge and eat / drink

    If you're trying to eat healthy, OC Fish Grill is a decent choice. It's counter service, with indoor and outdoor seating on their large patio. OC Fish Grill has a Taco Tuesday, where three tacos are $12. Tacos are normally $5-$7 each, so this is a deal! The tacos all have to be the same and you can choose from chicken, whitefish, shrimp and salmon. I would recommend the salmon over the shrimp, as the salmon tacos are quite large compared to the shrimp - a much better bang for your buck! They also offer the same three taco price during Happy Hour. I've also ordered the grilled tilapia, which comes with two sides. Their brussels sprouts are good but they go a little overboard on the balsamic vinegar. Plenty of parking in the lot.

    Grilled Salmon Brussel Sprouts Grilled Eggplant

    Casual counter service with indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is nice under the grape trellis (cape trumpet vine & jasmine, too). Clean bathrooms. Recommend any of the grilled fish as well as the Brussels sprouts. If you're getting water, give the lemon water next to the soda fountain a try.

    I got the grilled salmon plate and was pleasantly surprised by how much fish came with it. Typically, when I go out to eat--especially for salmon dishes--they give you only a tiny piece. But this place gave two decently sized pieces, which was very filling, especially for the price I paid. The taste wasn't too strong, which I liked. It was just lightly seasoned, so it was pretty good as is. The veggies that came with it were grilled--I chose the Brussels sprouts. Overall, everything was pretty good, and this is exactly the type of dinner I usually go for. I was surprised the place was so empty, considering how good the food is. I'm definitely coming back to try some of the other dishes.

    The location is great and very accessible, unfortunately, my ahi tuna was SEVERELY overcooked and dry as a bone. I had ordered extra Cajun sauce which I never got and it was very hard to try and get the attention of a worker. I had previously tried the fish and chips and they were great with a fantastic portion size but this time it was just not a good experience.

Jack o lantern fair was just a few blocks away but we were craving seafood and we decided on Seafood 1555. Oh my gosh. We shared a steak burrito and two octopus& shrimp tacos & it was grilled to perfection. They also had 7 types of salsa as well as the fresh one they make on site. I mean I need to come back and order again because it's worth it all! Just walk behind the parking lot when you enter the church, it's behind the car repairs. And they make it looks like a farmers market with about 3-4 businesses serving food and desserts :) Service was amazing they asked if we needed any thing and we were the only customers remaining so they were patient and didn't rush us at all.

So many places treat it as an afterthought, but here it was very, very good--fresh, flavorful, and the perfect start to the meal. Great food, generous portions, and standout service. Seafood 1555 is a must-visit and an easy recommendation. We'll absolutely be back.

I loved all the fun, sea-themed decorations. The restaurant itself is really nice and new and clean and cute! My husband and I ordered Spicy Crispy Chicken and a Garlic Butter Shrimp Rice Bowl. First, the positives. The fries were so good! Great flavor, extra crispy, fluffy on the inside. A textbook perfect fry! The spicy crispy chicken was pretty good too. Moist, crunchy, and actually spicy! It was done well. The Garlic Butter Shrimp Rice Bowl was where it went south. The shrimp was cooked well, but the sauce was not. I think the garlic was cooked too dark/burnt as the sauce was really bitter. I think the sauce was also overseasoned as it was very salty. I thought the lemon might balance the sauce out but the sauce was overwhelming. I ended up not eating much of the sauce as it was just too much. The service was okay! You order on a kiosk. The food took a little wait to come out as well. Also the spicy chicken said it came with spicy aioli but it didn't come with any. When we asked the server, she said you had to order it. But she gave it to us anyway! Overall, I think they just messed up my sauce! Everything else was good.

The roll is pretty expensive but honestly worth it in my opinion because of how much lobster they pack into it. The brioche bread was perfectly toasted. The lobster was fresh and buttery without making the bread soggy, even after pouring extra melted butter on top. This is definitely the best lobster roll I've had.

I was surprised to see a crawfish boil but didn't try it this time. My husband really loved the beef tongue. He said it was one of the best he's ever tried. I really liked the wagyu shirt ribs and the wagyu brisket. They were all tender and flavorful. I was surprised to see oysters and was so happy to eat them. I ate 3 orders alone. I always enjoy the shrimp paste since I get lazy to peel the shrimps, but the tiger shrimps were big and looked good. This place is going to become a regular date night location. Highly recommend.
