This restaurant offers a beachfront view with an atmosphere reminiscent of a cruise dinner--where guests range from dressed-up to casual beach attire. We visited for lunch and ordered drinks, ceviche, a cocktail, and fish. I had the agua chaya con piña, which was refreshing. The ceviche mixto was decent, but didn't stand out from others we've had in California. The shrimp cocktail, with its sweet tomato sauce and crackers, was great and I label this as Mexican-style ceviche--definitely better than the American version.
Each of us ordered a fish dish. I opted for the fish of the day, though the waiter couldn't tell us what type it was. It ended up being a generic white fish fillet, similar to something you'd find in the frozen section of a grocery store. My friends ordered fish based on weight--a fried fish and a seasoned fish but did not know the cost or portuon size. Both ended up being large whole fish, more than one serving each. We were disappointed the waiter didn't inform us about the portion sizes. The fried fish seemed to be refried and kind of dry, but the seasoned fish had good flavor. Overall, as a seafood place that might be considered higher-end, the food was just okay, though the presentation was impressive. read more
