We shared the following; -lobster roll w/ malt vinegar fries (LITERALLY TOO GOOD!) -fried rice w/ jammy eggs (BOMB) -oyster mushrooms (3/10 - a bit rubbery) Drinks -ghostwriter -ISFO I'll definitely be back.

Today I brought my new baby out to try out our family's favorite restaurant. Baby-friendly with…read morespace to park the stroller next to our table. We put baby in high chair although baby kept trying to eat the table. We got our usual favorites (warm lobster rolls, clam chowder bowls, fried oyster, and fried clam belly). Surprisingly the clam belly was full of sand this time! Must not have soaked in water long enough, but when we told our server they swapped it out immediately. We substituted one of our coleslaw for potato salad, and one of our fries for onion rings. We definitely will continue doing so because it is nice to try out so many different dishes! As always, order the fries well-done for nice crispy fries. It's still on our to-do list to try the chicken parmesan since we've heard so many good things about it, but I really do like my Must Order dishes (listed below). Must Order (in order of ranking): - Clam chowder bowl - Warm lobster roll - Fried oysters - Fried scallops - Fried clam belly - Fried clam strips - Crab roll Pass: - Fish and chips - Calamari

We just dropped the kids off at camp and I wanted to try a local place with a lobster roll, while…read morethe kids weren't around to steal my food. Lobster roll (warm): It felt like a good amount of lobster, but the soggy roll ruined it for me. I couldn't even pick it up without the whole thing falling apart. The flavor was there but that soggy roll ruined it. Seafood platter: They said it was a plate for two, but I don't know about that. It was nice to try a variety of different seafood. Most of it was good but the fish needs to be firmer. It just fell apart and I wasn't used to that kind of texture. We sat outside in the patio area since inside seemed pretty busy. Service was quick and friendly.

We visited on a Monday for the AYCE option and had a great experience. Since we arrived right at…read moreopening, parking was easy and we were seated right away. Our server was very attentive, which was especially nice since we were among the first customers there. A few things to note: there is a 90-minute dining limit, and everyone at the table shares the same seafood bag, so your group will need to agree on one sauce flavor per round. We only made it through two rounds, but everything we ordered was delicious. The fries were crispy, and the mussels, shrimp, and clams were all meaty. The sauce was flavorful and complemented the seafood well. We finished the meal with the fried Oreo and ice cream, which was the perfect sweet ending. We'd definitely come back again for the AYCE experience!

Great concept & great menu--I love how the AYCE includes appetizers, soda, and typical seafood boil…read moreadd ons like potatoes, eggs, sausages, etc. However, they didn't execute it for me...I learned that seafood boil is definitely a quality over quantity type of meal. Half of the shrimp and crawfish we had were dead, so the taste and texture wasn't there. The clams and mussels were very sandy. The sauce was good but medium spice didn't have any kick at all but the next flavor was "atomic" which is very intimidating (I regret not trying the next level up though). Plus the service was slow and parking is terrible. My favorite items were the lemon pepper wings, quail eggs, and Cajun fries though lol

my mom and me went to celebrate an early 4th of July and heard this was the best place in town so…read morewe decided to come here. We started with the chilled seafood platter. Ice was dripping all over the table and meat smelt old but we didn't complain. And a Caesar salad to share which we were told we couldn't share had to add another one so we did and asked for extra dressing on the side which we never got. We have been looking forward to eating here for so long from the raves from people we know so we came in with the intent to share 3 entrees Which were Parmesan chicken piccata (my mom's favorite, usually) that was amazing. Seafood fettuccini pasta where the pasta was gummy falling apart and I had to chew on mussels and scallops longer than anyone should and my mom had two pieces of shells that we were told was "normal" to happen. And then we had what we asked for was the sterling angus ny strip me.. not only did it come out mw when requested mr but a dollop of potatoes and no waiters to help us.. forks and knives were dirty and we sadly had the worst experience visiting which we thought was going to be the best time.. still tipped but wasted $100'ssss on a place that didn't care about helping out their customers that wanted the best.. sadly disappointed in every aspect..

Excellent spot for lunch after a walk through Balboa Park…read more We were offered a seat inside or outside, we opted for the patio. The climate was perfect and there were umbrellas to provide adequate shade. The atmosphere was relaxed, we had time to review the menu and ordered drinks, then had time to decide on our meal. There was a smell outside the perimeter of the restaurant, which when the wind shifted, would come by and was a bit sour, but I'm not sure how the Restaurant would resolve that. I opted for the passion fruit sparkling lemondae- delicious and refreshing. We split the Farmers mixed greens salad. The dressing was very light, next time I may ask for a little more on the side. I also had the grilled Mahi Mahi sandwich. I had the Chipotle tartar sauce on the side, so the fish was a little dry but flavorful. My husband had the Kobe Burger and the raspberry sparkling lemondae and enjoyed both thoroughly. Excellent service, great patio seating, delicious food.

First of all, the place is quite small but worth the wait if you have the time. It's intimate but the tacos come out relatively fast. They all come with 2 tacos and my husband and I ordered 2 fish and 1 shrimp plate and it was plenty. The al pastor margarita was also good and sweet. The fish tacos are all filled to the top with meat and slaw, all of which are perfectly seasoned. The tacos are also especially good and actually hold together. Great stop in the San Diego area!

And the service was super friendly. Very cute spot! My husband started chatting with a busboy who turned out to be the owner/chef. Such a nice guy. A true artist. My husband asked him why they don't do takeout and he said it would compromise the quality. So he's basically leaving money on the table to not compromise the high standard and craft he holds for these tacos. So impressed by that ethos! That care really comes through in his food! Very deserving of all the accolades!! I would give it 6 stars if I could. Yummmmm!

I tried the tacos especial (fish, shrimp, scallops) and grilled octopus and they were both amazing! I would get 2 tacos or 3 if you're really hungry.

First time trying Oscar's, which came highly recommended by a friend. We just wanted takeout so I…read morewas happy to see they offer online ordering for pickup. I ordered 2 battered fish taco and selected 3 salsa options (pink, green, red), but I think only the red was included + white sauce (not sure what it is). This made me wonder why asked customer to select if they aren't actually gonna include it. If that's the case, it should be made clear at pickup so customers know to pack it themselves, especially for first-time customer like me. Fish taco wasn't as crispy as expected (unlike kiko's) and would probably taste better if it comes with the salsa sauce. I also got ceviche mixto to try both fish and shrimp, but honestly the fish was the highlight. I actually put in the note to request more fish ratio than shrimp, but i instead received more shrimp than fish. Next time I'd just order the fish ceviche on its own. Food is ok in general, but the online ordering experience definitely left a bad taste in my mouth
