Coming out for a dealer meeting, what's a cool place for seafood. Looking for a casual atmosphere fun place. TIA
Nailed itMahe or captain Jacks u can’t go wrong
Went to Calico a few weeks ago for the first time with a group of friends. Basic stuff was fine, but getting correctly cooked fish was a no-go. Stick to fish tacos or lobster rolls there.A few more choices in the general 'area' . . . .
Calico Fish House in Surfside has good food . . . the location has changed hands a few times over the years . . . but it's current program is serving up really good food.
The atmosphere doesn't have that old school 'fish-house' vibe, more contemporary . . . but the food is good.
Also , I haven't been there yet . . . but I've only heard good things about 'Broad Street Oyster Company' at the end of the HB Pier. Not even sure what's on their entire menu. I've asked people coming out of there, 'How was the food'?, and everyone's replied 'Great' ! . . . take that for what it's worth.
A few more miles up PCH, 'The Crab Pot' in Alamitos Bay . . . it can be hit or miss . . . but it's cool. Bit of a dice roll though.
Also in Alamitos Bay 'San Pedro Fish Market' is worth considering . . . used to be Joe's Crab Shack . . . elevated restaraunt overlooking the bay.
If straight 'quality' is your jam, 'Seal Beach Fish Company' is top notch seafood . . . it's pricey, and the menu is not really my vibe . . . but their quality is undeniable.
Good call ! . . . nothing great / nothing bad . . . picnic table seating, tons of TV's . . games for the kids, and aquariums on the wall . . .Good restaurants and HB should not be used in the same sentence but if I were forced to do something that met your 3 requirements, I'd go to Zubies Dry Dock on Adams.
Agreed on the food . . . I just don't dig places that treat you as a 2nd class citizen if they suspect you're not a 'Local' . . . how they 'think' they have that figured out is beyond me.Mahe or captain Jacks u can’t go wrong
I was planning on dropping your name for some street cred, hoping that helps.Agreed on the food . . . I just don't dig places that treat you as a 2nd class citizen if they suspect you're not a 'Local' . . . how they 'think' they have that figured out is beyond me.
Mahe' is the worst . . . f-that place, IDK care how good their food is.
Maybe the geezers at Cpt. Jacks check wrists for Rolex's, or are used to getting slid a hundo upon entry . . . either way . . . shine.
Only thing good at Zubies is the pizza.Good restaurants and HB should not be used in the same sentence but if I were forced to do something that met your 3 requirements, I'd go to Zubies Dry Dock on Adams.
This is why I’m scratching my head trying to find good food hereOnly thing good at Zubies is the pizza.
Zubies is legit!Good restaurants and HB should not be used in the same sentence but if I were forced to do something that met your 3 requirements, I'd go to Zubies Dry Dock on Adams.
Have you tried Ocean 48 yet? Water Grill was our go-to, but Ocean 48 may be our new one after Valentines dinner. Very good.If you don't care about money and want quality food and service, Water Grill in Costa Mesa. Captain Jacks you're gonna be crunched into some booth without the ability to hear the people across the from you. Last time we ate there we had some fools pressing their booth into our area , moving my chest closer to the table. I'd do a hard pass on that place unless you sat in the bar area. Covid turned that place upside down in the dining room.
Last time i was in Captain jacks it was so loud you couldnt hear the person next to you, mahi was more chill on that aspect.
ill do ya one better than zubies, and thats the chicken coop in Newport. they have the original tables from zubies. everyone who works there is related somehow to the owner. some of the stiffest drinks and great food. just remember they are CASH only.Good restaurants and HB should not be used in the same sentence but if I were forced to do something that met your 3 requirements, I'd go to Zubies Dry Dock on Adams.
Meet a friend there the other day for breakfast, way better than what I expected, lots of morning drinkers lol, dude was making every drink 90% booze 10% the rest.ill do ya one better than zubies, and thats the chicken coop in Newport. they have the original tables from zubies. everyone who works there is related somehow to the owner. some of the stiffest drinks and great food. just remember they are CASH only.
sounds about right, the place looks kind of divey, and for sure lots of morning drinkers. the bartender is the owner, which i find suprising, normally when the owner is pouring drinks they are pretty weak, not with Horacio. pours them stiff and loves to talk shit with the customers. we eat there a couple times a month.Meet a friend there the other day for breakfast, way better than what I expected, lots of morning drinkers lol, dude was making every drink 90% booze 10% the rest.
