Cute little beach bar at the Hyatt Regency. It's not too big and the bar is a little small, but it works for a quick bite or a quick drink. The bartender/server was nice and friendly. My old fashioned was tasty! read more

Pete's Sunset Grille - American Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Came here for lunch twice- the r first and last day of my trip. Both times the service was perfect. Especially the second time when I explained my time constraint. I requested to sit outside and out of the sun both times and my request was easily and delightfully accommodated. The first time I had the fish tacos based on everyone recommending them. I got them grilled and they were delicious. The fish was fresh. It came with chips. I tried not to eat all the chips! The second time I got the salmon poke bowl without rice but double greens. Another delicious fresh dish! And it was served with Botha fork and chopsticks. And she brought extra sauce in case I wanted it. I would get both dishes again!! I wish I had bought an extra salmon poke bowl to take to the airport. read more

Whether you're staying at Hyatt or just enjoying Huntington Beach for the day, this restaurant is a good place to dine. The service is excellent and the vibe is pleasant. The food items are reasonably priced and the portions are not too bad. I love their green beans fries and fish and chips. We also tried their burgers and chicken sandwich. All were to our liking. Highly recommend! read more

Located on the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach property. The restaurant isn't very big but has both indoor and outdoor seating. There's TVs all around showing different sports. The food was good, however a bit on the pricy side for what it is. read more

Came here for the holiday decorations and wow! This place is so cool! Loved all the decor and details! They decorated from top to bottom and made it look so festive inside and out! Such a great backdrop for every photo! Drinks were also very good and loved the cool mugs they were in! read more

They go all out for the holidays -- Christmas décor in literally every square inch! It's so festive and really sets the mood. We arrived right when they opened, so service was a little slow at first since a crowd came in all at once, but it was understandable. We ordered the green bean fries, and they were really tasty, especially with the creamy pink dipping sauce. So good! The poke bowl was fresh and delicious, topped with a light teriyaki sauce that didn't overpower anything. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth checking out during the holidays. read more

Pete Sunset Grill during the holidays is SUCH a vibe The drinks were yummy and came in the cutest little decorated mugs -- festive, fun, and totally Instagram-worthy. The bartenders really make this place shine, and Ben was freaking AWESOME tonight!!! He made our drinks super quick, sooo delicious, and clearly knows what he's doing. Plus, Ben likes to sing and dance behind the bar and brought the energy ALL night -- it was impossible not to have a good time Shoutout to Kristen too, who was just as awesome. Between Ben and Kristen, the service was top-tier and they truly made our night. You can tell they enjoy what they do, and that energy spreads to the whole bar. We went on a weekday and it surprisingly wasn't too packed, which was a huge plus. Fair warning though: parking is a pain in the butt so plan ahead. Overall, amazing holiday atmosphere, fun drinks, incredible service, and great vibes. We'll definitely be back -- especially if Ben and Kristen are working! read more

Pete's is a fun spot. It's not a place for fine dining, but more for a fun atmosphere and a nice location. Order at the bar (which gets crowded) and they bring your food to you. I've only had the fish tacos and I like them and will keep ordering them. Yes, I should try something new! Drinks, chips and guac are also good. read more

We like coming here for the Christmas themed decorations every year. And every year, I forget to make reservations, which so highly recommend LOL The restaurant is always fully booked this time of the year, and we are always lucky that we get a table. This year we were seated outside, but it was perfect for the young one to be able to run around looking at the decorations. We had heaters that kept us warm and the ambiance was much calmer outside. I'm removing a star because the food is only ok. It's not bad, but no one had a dish they would write home to Mom about. Overall, it's the festive holiday spirit we come for. read more

We were staying at the Hyatt and were looking for a late dinner and walked down to Pete's Sunset Grille, and it was such a fun surprise--especially during the holidays. The Christmas decorations were absolutely wild in the best way: wall-to-wall festive, cozy, and over-the-top, which instantly put us in the holiday spirit. This is a casual spot where you order at the bar, but don't let that fool you--the food and drinks are solid. They were also offering Christmas drink specials, which made it a great place to grab a festive cocktail and unwind. For food, everything we tried was great: I had the Mele Kalikimaka, which came with fresh poke and tons of delicious veggies--super fresh and flavorful. My dad ordered the fish tacos and couldn't stop talking about how good they were. My mom had the butternut squash soup and grilled cheese, and wow--the sandwich was overflowing with cheese and grilled to perfection. We also saw the chicken pot pie come out to another table, and it looked incredible. It's served in a bowl with a flaky crust on top, then they flip it onto the plate so the crust ends up on the bottom. Definitely on my list for next time. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick without sacrificing quality, which we really appreciated since it was later in the evening. Overall, this is a great spot if you're looking for a drink, some good food, and a fun, festive atmosphere--especially during the holidays. Would absolutely come back! read more

Missing the spirit of Christmas? Step into Pete's during December and start reminiscing about your youth when there was snow on the ground (I'm originally from the east coast ) and lights everywhere!!

We recently went back and guess what.....They brought back to original style wings that were so good. Thank You!

Surprisingly the food was really good! I thought the salmon poke bowl looked small but it was loaded with so much protein I filled up pretty quickly. Salmon poke bowl comes with half rice and salad, edamame, seaweed salad, avocado, crab salad, pickled daikon, and cucumbers. It was so delicious! The steak burger was cooked medium rare. It was so tender for a piece of steak. It really felt like eating a burger patty but tender and juicy. Staff was very friendly and service was great. read more

A cute restaurant, especially on Halloween! I can't say the service was the best or the food was that good on this latest visit, but Pete's was decorated so well for Halloween. I still liked the burger, but the servers were not friendly or helpful during our meal. Better luck next time! read more

We had booked a reservation ahead of time as we knew it would be difficult to do walk in. Once we arrived, checking in was very easy and we were seated right away. The servers were very nice and answered our questions. They did let us know that some of the Christmas mugs won't be available, which was totally fine with us. The drinks were very cute and quite large as well. The overall interior of this place did not disappoint and you can tell there was a lot of effort placed into decorating everything! read more

We came here for Pete's Christmas Vacation set up. The place is definitely a bit of Temu Christmas decor threw up in it. Super cool tho every corner had something to see. Cute set ups. Plenty of photo props. We made reservations bc this place is crowded as stated it was ok not too packed. We sat and quickly ordered drinks. The menus were created for Christmas theme . Names of the food choices were changed Christmas names. Prices were 16-20 each drink and only special one will be served it in a Tiki cup. When we sat we received a menu with decent choices of appetizers to entrees. Tho we also got a drink menu with some different appetizers available. We asked to order from it, but we couldn't bc the Bar side had that menu. I would go to the bar side they had better choices. We ordered the Chicken pot pie table service and lettuce be merry salad. The server ran out so quick flipped that crusty flaky crust poured the chicken mixture so quick. Man she ran thru that so fast. No great table service there. I was so disappointed with that service and dish. The flavor was good. The ratio of chicken pot pie mixture to top crust was 2/5 the filling was what seemed less than 1 cup. The crust was huge so we mainly ate flaky bread. $25 skip this do not recommend unless you can buy a second scoop. The salad was $18 and was the size of a 5inch bowl. Come on it's lettuce at least the topping might be pricey but the lettuce ratio was so minimal. Flavor was good . Toasted pecans, cheese, golden beet but the menu said special candy cane or striped beet which made the theme cute . But there was only 2 slivers of it on top. Let's just say we were still hungry when we left with a pricey bill, we went to get food elsewhere. Parking was $10 with validation. Valet . Also upon arrival we weren't asked if we wanted to be outdoor seating bc the Dome outside would have been fun for the Hype of this Pop up bummer that we didn't get offered for that experience . read more

If you are looking for the ultimate holiday vibe in Huntington Beach, you HAVE to stop by Pete's Sunset Grille at the Hyatt Regency. They've completely transformed the space into a "Pete's Christmas Vacation" pop-up, and it is honestly like stepping into a tropical North Pole. The Atmosphere & Decorations The decor is incredible--it's a mix of classic Griswold-style nostalgia and surf culture. Think thousands of twinkling lights, presents hanging from the ceiling, and flamingo ornaments everywhere. It feels like a "snow-dusted surf garage." They even have these private Snow Globe dining domes outside if you want to get super cozy while watching the sunset. The soundtrack is a perfect blend of holiday classics and upbeat tropical tunes that really keeps the mood festive. The Drinks The cocktail menu is where they really shine. They aren't just standard drinks; they are creative, "vacation-themed" holiday treats. The Polar Espresso: A must-try if you need a caffeine kick with your holiday cheer. It's served cold and perfectly balanced. Saint Nick's Naughty Nog: This isn't your grocery store eggnog. It's made with house-made syrup, rum, and cognac--definitely has a kick! Cindy-Lou Who Put All This Rum in My Cup?: If you're with a friend, this one is meant for two and comes in a huge festive mug. Super fun for photos. The Food We started with the Bah Humbug Fries (green bean fries with a smoked paprika aioli) and the Charcutewreath, which was literally a meat and cheese board shaped like a wreath with a giant Bavarian pretzel. For the main, the Jolly Old Saint Rib was incredibly tender. Pro-Tip: Make a reservation on Tock before you go! It gets really busy, especially on the weekends when people are coming from the resort. It's the perfect spot to get into the Christmas spirit without losing that SoCal beach feel. read more

The cutest Halloween pop up bar! (They also do Christmas) located to the right of the lobby in the Hyatt Regency. The drinks were strong, yummy, and so festive! The food was delicious, but my pasta could've been warmer. Still very satisfied with the food though. The service was great, server was kind and attentive. We sat on the bar side so he took our order and made our drinks :) they also have a restaurant side as well if you have children/ need a bigger seating area. The restaurant is pretty big. The bathrooms are a walk away (the only con). Overall I had a great experience here and would recommend going if you live locally and are looking for a festive place! read more

This place was pretty fun as a Christmas popup. Really well decorated and had a great atmosphere. The waitress was really nice, but service was really, really slow. We got the pretzel charcuterie, the ceviche and the fried green beans. They were all good. The drinks were in fun Xmas cups and were decent tasting. Definitely a fun place to go over the holidays. read more

I ordered the mac and cheese to go. It had broccoli, tomato, breadcrumbs, and grilled chicken in it. The waitress suggested requesting extra sauce, so I also did that. I enjoyed it, it wasn't overloaded with veggies which I appreciated. The chicken was cooked well and the sauce had a nice flavor. read more

Food was decent, service was great. But the real reason to go here in my humble opinion is the ambience, the beach right across the street, and an absolute must to come here during Christmas! The decor rivals Disneyland read more

I will admit social media brought me here but I am not mad about it! The hype is very real. Pete's Sunset Grill is located at the Hyatt in HB. There is no free parking so you must valet which is $10 with validation from the restaurant. I recommend reservations but we went during lunch this past Sunday and there was hardly any one there! I thought it would be packed as holiday bars can get a little crazy this time of the year but this was not the case. The decorations are AWESOME and will get you in that holiday spirit. The drinks also play on the holiday pop up theme which was a cute touch. I ordered "It snows in Surf City" for $16 and came in a little snowman glass. Food is pretty delicious here. Everyone at my table enjoyed their entrée. I ordered the turkey dinner sliders ($18) and they were very filling and flavorful! Otherwise, service was attentive and on point. I would be back year round as the food and drinks were really good! read more

For a nice hotel very poor service at this restaurant. We ended ordering pizza just across from them. read more

Extremely disappointing experience at Pete's Sunset Grille's Christmas bar. We called ahead specifically to ask if they accepted walk-ins and were told yes. When we arrived, the staff at the front denied ever receiving our call and abruptly told us they do not take walk-ins and only accept reservations. On top of that, the two people working the front were incredibly unprofessional and unwelcoming. There was no attempt to help, clarify, or even speak to us politely--it felt dismissive and rude from the moment we walked in. read more

At a meeting at this hotel we headed here for pre dinner drinks and snacks - liked it so much it became our actual dinner! The drinks are delicious - had Crimes of Passion which was a mixture of gin, passion fruit and basil syrup and was so, so good! We ordered various appetizers - loved the very hummus but the absolute stand out was the fried green beans which were the best I have had! The batter was light and crisp and the green beans were perfect! Service was great, music phenomenal and loved the surf theme decor! read more

So this place was located next to/inside the hotel, not that hard to find. Valet parking. You get validated but not fully, I believe just $10?? We came to check out the holiday drinks which were pretty tasty & HITTT!! Cups were so so cute. Service was great because we asked to switch out our bread for the bacon jam because it was rock hard. They gladly obliged! Great holiday bar, but probably wouldn't visit again on a regular day! read more

I'm a Huntington Beach local and have been a loyal customer of this restaurant for years -- which makes today's experience especially disappointing. When I arrived with my two service dogs, I politely explained to the host that I have epilepsy. She asked, "What tasks do the dogs perform for your epilepsy?" I replied that they alert someone nearby if I have an episode. She then followed up with, "Alert who?" -- to which I said, "Alert anybody nearby." At that point, she gave me an attitude and told me we couldn't be seated inside. That line of questioning is not appropriate or necessary under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). My son and I were left feeling embarrassed and singled out in front of other guests -- simply for following the law and bringing trained service animals into a public restaurant. As locals who live across the street and have brought consistent business here, it's incredibly disheartening to be treated this way -- especially when this could have been easily avoided with proper ADA training and a little compassion. Disability awareness matters. Huntington Beach is a small community, and how a business treats its regulars says everything. We'll be spending our money elsewhere from now on. -- A disappointed (and shocked) HB local Go anywhere else ..... my only advice Cheers read more

They have the place decorated for Xmas this year ! Super cute decors and hilarious drink/food names on their menu. The bartenders are so sweet too. They also allow dogs here too. You will have to valet & get it validated . It cost $10 for 3 hours for validation. Def will still come back. It does get packed on the weekends, so I decided to check out the place on a weekday instead read more

** we recommend that you check your bill because this place charges tax on the mandatory 20% tip they require for larger parties. We're pretty certain this isn't right? Another review stated that this place is like Temu Christmas threw up on it, that is completely true. It's festive, but the restaurant just ordered a whole bunch of cheap backdrops online, lights and tinsel and hung them up. Unfortunately, because we were greater than a party of six we had no option, but to be seated outside where it is freezing at night and it's far less festive. Another review stated that the pot pie had very little filling and they are absolutely correct. The puff pastry is huge with less than a cup of filling.. the Charceutewreath says that it comes with beer cheese, but in fact, it's just cubes of cheese not melted fondue style. They do not tell you in advance but they up charge $3.50 if you swap your fries for a salad. The food is beyond mediocre for the price. You are paying purely for the novelty of eating at a Christmas pop-up. There is three hour validation ringing your valet to $10 if you eat here. The service was so nice but extremely slow. It had no bearing on the review, but just an FYI, for fellow military they do not offer any discount. read more

We didn't eat here but had a nightcap and some dessert. The staff working the bar were awesome- super friendly and gave great recommendations. We went with the carrot cake, the passion fruit drink, old fashion, rose, and another cocktail. Each drinks was fantastic and you could taste the alcohol in each. The carrot cake was super unique and flavorful- probably my favorite carrot cake take I've had in years. We left them a mini duck with a party hat for the bar :) Definitely stop in for a drink and perhaps next time we will try some food! read more

Do not come here if you're a foodie. Food was subpar, nothing spectacular. We are staying at the hotel and wanted a quick bite. Food came out fast and the Mac n Cheese tasted like it was microwaveable from the grocery store. My mom ordered the Strawberry salad, $19 and got a plate of arugula with 1 strawberry cut 4 ways. The steak and fries were just okay, the sushi I'll take the blame for ordering that at an American place. Additionally, our server seemed to be having a bad day. He told me the seafood chowder was not the move when I asked if it was similar to a clam chowder, so I'm thankful for that. However, we needed to ask for water refills 3 times. Finally, a young guy came to our table, slammed two glass water bottles on the table, and said "here's your water spice girls, and don't worry it's on the house". We were a group of five women and are always very thankful everywhere we go. We weren't sure where this unwarranted attitude was coming from, but I spoke to the manager. read more

We had a 4:45 reservation for two, the restaurant was not full,but waited over 20min while servers continued to walk past our table never acknowledging us.
