    Lychee Martini
    ErYkah A.

    Beautiful Space & view with plenty of seating. My favorite, I have a few : Duck tacos, asian wings, arugula salad & Brussel sprouts. Today tried the trout dip and Lychee Martini was delish, Jose was attentive and friendly. Enjoyed our Monday here thank you :)

    Messy Sunday is ooooy goooy goodness to share

    Amazing! The beachfront dining is unparalleled. Great food and amazing cocktails. Happy hour and brunch are both outstanding. Did I mention the view! And our server, Jose, made excellent recommendations while taking great care of us. My favorite is the Med sampler. Best appetizer IMHO although the smoked trout is a close second. Messy Sunday for dessert is a must for sharing. Imperial beach hidden gem!

    Walked along the pier after our delicious meal!

    Celebrated Father's Day and what a wonderful spot! The gorgeous weather allowed us to enjoy the ocean view in the outdoor patio seating. The food was fresh and delicious.. not one bad dish. The service was friendly and attentive. Definitely going back!

    VIEWS! VIEWS! VIEWS! From IB pier to Point Loma this is a great place to watch sunset. They also have HH every day, including weekends, that is unbelievable - you have to try the duck tacos!! The pizzas are always great. This location even has a brunch menu that is so great. Recommend: lobster avocado toast or salmon benedict. In short... get here asap because you will be coming again and again!!

    Messy sundae desert was delicious

    We have been here a handful of times and every single time we love the food and we are always welcomed by staff with great hospitality and a wonderful atmosphere. Our server tonight, José, was so kind and attentive. He was funny and professional. We had a large group and he took the time to speak with each one of us and to be patient as we made our selections. We ate on the outside deck overlooking the ocean. There were several groups eating at the same time as us, but we felt like we were getting careful attention from start to finish. We ordered short ribs, Greek salad, Wagyu burgers, lettuce cups, and don't get me started on the delicious house made chicken strips with basil ranch! Truffle fries were excellent, thank you for the suggestion, José! Please stop by and enjoy delicious food, beautiful view, elegant setting and great service!

    Updated review: We had Sunday brunch and enjoyed the experience immensely. We were promptly seated outside near a large heater, with expansive views of the beach and pier. We ordered the ABC Hash, Smoked Brisket Hash, and a Bacon Benny. Cappuccino, Hammerhead, and a Green Bloody Mary completed the meal. The ABC hash, standing for avocado, pork belly, and cheddar, was a surprisingly light tasting dish with a primary flavor of avocado. It needed more seasoning but improved with hot sauce. Everything was nicely cooked, it was just under seasoned. The smoked brisket hash was outstanding, with rich Smoky flavor and nicely seasoned potatoes. The over easy eggs were cooked perfectly. The thick slice of rosemary sourdough toast was worth the extra $1.50. The star of the show was the bacon benny, with soft poached eggs, four slices of bacon and spears of asparagus under a pile of hollandaise. Accompanied by truffle fried potato balls which were soft and creamy inside, very tasty!! The garlic roasted tomato was the perfect extra touch. We all decided that's what we would get next time, or at least one of the Benny sandwiches anyway. It was a very nice experience, we all left with full bellies and smiles, promising to come back again soon. Highly recommended. Service was a little bit slow, but they told us from the outset that they were short staffed. It wasn't that slow and the service we received was perfect otherwise.

    Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Crispy Calamari
    Stefanie P.

    Family in town so we hit Sammy's for happy hour. Great service, friendly waitress, beautiful outdoor table and view. The highlight of our tapas was the crispy Brussels sprouts. Tender baby Brussels sprouts, split and grilled to perfection. Lots of free little leaves charred and so crispy. The walnuts, Romano cheese, and balsamic drizzle complemented them perfectly! 10 out of 10

    Love this this place from the minute that you walk in you get treated like family. It's keep on forgetting his name but he's like the best waiter. He's got a beard a black hair anyways he's been there since 180. Excellent service just love coming.

    Jose was great and the food was amazing!!!

    This was the absolute best brunch I've ever had. We collectively got the gluten-free French toast,…read morea breakfast bowl, and their house-made gluten-free bagel, and it was divine. We also took home some baked goods. It's so hard to find gluten-free French toast and baked goods that are actually good, and these were UNBELIEVABLE. You would never guess they were gluten-free. The vibe was cute and laid back and the service incredible. Despite the fact that it was very busy, the food came out really quickly. I will absolutely head back down to IB just to come here again. 10/10 recommend.

    I tried their farmer's sandwich and chose a jalapeño cheddar bagel. On it was sausage, bacon, egg,…read morecream cheese and red onion, and it was awesome. The egg was perfect! They also have a young man who plays jazz piano there every Sunday, so the ambiance is pretty awesome along with the nice weather. Sometimes it can get windy so bring a sweater, but otherwise, it's usually a really nice day to hang out with friends and family. I also had a matcha ginger thyme latte with oat milk which was just tasty since ginger is a rare flavor in coffee drinks. I loved it, and it was so good that I took an extra one home. The service is amazing, and on busy days you may have to wait a bit, but it's worth it. If you have any questions about a dish, don't hesitate to ask!

Didn't realize they close at 2pm and literally ran out of the convention center and sped straight here. Hooooooly this was hands down the best birria I've ever eaten, the handmade tortillas are perfection (can also get crispy tortilla), the ramen is spicy and amazingly seasoned, the birriaquiles interesting, and the staff SO friendly! Like the friendliest I've met in a long time too. The girl taking my order took the time to ask about options for everything since I didn't know and wasn't ordering it correctly. I'm really glad she asked about the tendon cause that was bomb--if you love braised beef shank, the tendon is a must. We got here kind of late, almost closing time, and they were beyond helpful with a big-ish dine in order and two to-go orders. I genuinely loved everything and was wolfing it down lol (my pants are now tight). I will absolutely be back, hopefully sooner than later.
