Cute beer stand at 2nd & PCH! I decided to stop here after doing Rumble. Yes, I was supposed to be…read moreshopping but decided to get a lil liquid courage first before buying my daughter's birthday gifts. Super easy breezy set up, you walk up, order and they pour your drink from the taps. Quick, casual and a great vibe. And great people watching!

This place is honestly a joke…read more We waited in line for almost 2 hours while security kept people outside for no reason -- and when we finally got in, there was so much open space inside. It wasn't even close to full. They're clearly holding people outside on purpose to create fake hype, which is honestly pretty messed up. You're telling me dozens of people are stuck waiting forever while there's plenty of room inside? It's giving manufactured crowd and poor management. To make it worse, they stopped serving drinks and turned the lights on at 1:15 AM, way earlier than literally any normal bar. So after wasting hours in line, you barely even get time inside. And it somehow gets worse -- at 1:35 AM they were literally kicking people out of the restroom. We weren't even allowed to finish or wash our hands before being rushed out. That's not just rude, it's straight up unhygienic and disrespectful. Overall, completely overhyped, disorganized, and not worth the wait at all. Don't fall for the line -- it's fake.

For some odd reason, a couple cut us at the very front. my friends and i didn't say anything…read morebecause we're pretty non confrontational. Anyways, we told the bartender (Joel) what happened, we didn't expect him go chase after the couple and hold them accountable but he responded with "I don't care!"

I would have given this place four stars, but I have to say the service was very slow. At first,…read morethe waitress was very sweet and quick to bring our food. I did ask for a cup of ice, but she forgot. There was a moment where we noticed. She didn't come back for 20 minutes. I had to go to the bar and order the dessert. She did come back and say the manager forgot to tell someone to check on our table. I just think for a fun high class place. The service should have been a lot better! The salad I ordered was delicious and had the most perfect flavor! The steak melted in my mouth and the dressing was perfect! The crème brûlée I ordered came out cold. I would think crème brûlée should be warm. The best part was the birthday vanilla ice cream with marshmallows and toffee and chocolate! Nigel's has the best photo ops! If you want perfect pictures with a girly background, this is the place to be. With your lunch, they gave us a free 15 minute Duffy boat ride! The gentleman who gave us the ride was so sweet and let my little niece carry a jellyfish! Don't worry, it wasn't the kind that stings! I would come back just for the ambience and the free boat ride!

Niguel Waterfront Restaurant is definitely for the girlies! I absolutely loved the vibe,…read moreaesthetics, and beautiful waterfront views. The atmosphere is stylish, fun, and makes for a great place to gather with friends. Unfortunately, the service fell short during our visit. While the staff seemed to be trying their best, they were not very attentive. Even though there were several empty tables, it took nearly 20 minutes after being seated to receive water and place our drink order. Throughout the meal, we had to repeatedly ask for water refills and condiments, and the staff did not check on our table very often. The restrooms were also low on supplies, and there were a few service missteps, including dishes being cleared before everyone had finished eating. My sister's food was taken before she was done, and our meals did not arrive at the same time. As a party of seven, we were seated near the host stand and restrooms, which wasn't the most comfortable location for a larger group. The food was decent, and the menu had a lot of appealing options. Because I enjoyed the atmosphere so much, I would be willing to give it another chance, perhaps with a smaller group. The location and views are beautiful, but the overall experience would have benefited from more attentive service.

Love this place, The wings are bomb! My wife and I come…read morehere for the wings have a few beers and a good time. We will occasionally bring our kids with us, Marnis is family friendly and they have some claw machines for the kiddos and they have pool tables available, they don't mind if the kids play pool either. Marnis also offers a TouchTunes jukebox, live bands Fridays and Saturdays, free WiFi, they have schooners and a variety of beers on draft to choose from. They have a digital display of their actual temperature of their beer refrigerator which is pretty cool. My kids also love the wings but they also like the pretzels (huge pretzel!) and their pizzas but what kid doesn't like pizza lol! This place is a locals spot but it's a real chill place, they will serve you as if they've known you forever. Ari has been our server a few times and she is very tentative and we just had the pleasure of having Tiira as our server and she was awesome too! We love this place and would definitely keep coming back!! Thank you Ari and Tiira for doing a great job!

I loved Marlena for dinner so much that I had to come back for brunch. I'm actually not a fan of…read morebrunch or breakfast foods in general, but I had a feeling that Marlena could change that. I got the biscuits and gravy, lemon ricotta pancakes, and breakfast pizza. The biscuits and gravy were SO GOOD, I just wish they gave me more! I might've been in a food coma all day though. The biscuits are very buttery, and the gravy is very thick, so it's a decadent and heavy breakfast for sure. The lemon ricotta pancakes were light, fluffy, and bright. I enjoyed them a lot compared to a classic pancake. The breakfast pizza was awesome. Charred pizza crust, topped with hollandaise, good bacon, and few leafy greens to make you feel better about yourself. I enjoyed everything with a fresh orange juice mimosa and thoroughly enjoyed my brunch by the bay.

This was my last night on a quick trip to SoCal. I had to check this place out. I was a long time…read moreresident of LB, but never went here when I was local. Since it was a Sun. night, I walked in, and there was probably 6 people in there. I ordered a beer, and had quite an interesting convo with one of the locals. I won't bore y'all w/ the details. At least, we were civil and our talk was based mostly on facts. I think we're pretty typical of most Gen-Xers. Regardless, got a few more drinks from Corey, the bartender, who was really nice and called it a night. All in all, totally chill place and devoid of drama.

The only downside I have with this place, is I hate their QR code that you have to scan to order…read moreyour food and drinks (Some people love this, some hate it) unfortunately, I have terrible phone service out here. if you do not have good service or do not want to use the code, you can go up to the bar and place your order -Since it's not your typical order and wait service, they have waiters just making their rounds helping everyone. The person who helped us the most was, Soky. He was absolutely great They are on the water with a nice view of the marina and you can sit here and do some boat watching (it's gorgeous if you come here during sunset) the outdoor seating is very spacious. They even have a second level for a rooftop outdoor view. I'd say more people like to eat outside here vs inside. -this place is used for a lot of private events. parking can get extremely crowded Also, this place can be extremely loud It's open seating and we ended up ordering outside for their bbq special they were having (we had to order the BBQ outside) and then you go to their serve your own water stations if you are just drinking water, like we were We got -pastrami fries 5/5 -pepperoni pizza 3/5 -BBQ special 5/5 -brownie caramel sundae 5/5 I'm not a beer person, but their beer menu is impressive. They have limited options when it comes to other alcohol. When it comes to the food menu, they have a bit of everything. They have a big selection of - small bites / appetizers. Which makes it perfect to share with friends. They have pizzas Burgers Seafood options Pastrami burgers and pastrami fries (their pastrami is a favorite here) Vegetarian options And, weekday specials I like the atmosphere. Just be prepared, it does get pretty noisy in here during the weekend at peak hours. They have TVs and just from the amount of people packed in here. The atmosphere inside also has a view of the water. It's just one big glass window. So you can see the outside view from inside They offer a military discount And WiFi

Horrible experience that ballast point tried to scrub this review. So Cliff notes:…read more Went for a beautiful lunch along the water one day with a friend. Upon walking in the host said we could sit anywhere but on this day, half of the restaurant was closed off for a party which was fine. We sat on the beautiful deck. The tables have QR codes which is fine but it does tie you to that table making it hard to change tables mid order (will get to this point in a minute). 10 minutes into sitting down, a patron walks by us and as he is next to our table he buckles over and throws up. It's like 1pm on a Wednesday mind you...this bro was being a messy ass queen and getting that drunk at 1pm on a Wednesday? Bro get yourself a wife. Anyways. By this point we had already ordered and since the QR code is attached to the table and since that's how we ordered, we had to wait for our food before being able to move tables. 10 minutes then 20 minutes go by and not a single employee has come by to clean up the vomit and it's right next to our table and in main walk way... After we got our food, we moved tables and ate. The food was just okay at best. Way too expensive for that's ballast point for you.
