Where to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Season all Month Long in San Diego | Eater

"Pacific Beach’s newest rooftop bar, The Beverly Beach Garden, is a light, breezy three-story restaurant lounge that offers an upscale beach bar experience. Soft seafoam and shell pink furnishings evoke endless sunsets from the patio, while the interior is lush with big plants and warm wood. Whether you’re there for brunch, lunch, or dinner, start with One More Thyme, a blend of Jameson Orange, simple syrup, lemon, club soda, and thyme that will pair well with anything on the food menu." - Mary Beth Abate

Loved the rooftop vibe — great ocean views and a fun spot whether you’re with friends or on a date. Service was on point, and the Ahi nachos were a hit (8/10). Tried the smash burger for lunch — super flavorful and cooked just right (7/10). Definitely coming back to explore more of the menu!

Saw and tried a few things from social media. We got the birria dumplings, waygu taquitos, and crispy rice ahi. The taquitos were definitely the best bite 😋 the dumplings had good flavor but the wrappers were slightly under cooked for my taste. The crispy rice was underwhelming in comparison to the other dishes. We also tried the lavender French 75 and the Moulin Rouge. Both were decent cocktails and I'd like to try some of their other drinks. Service was a little slow but it seemed like they may have been understaffed for the day/time. I was also a little surprised for how run down they were for having just gone through a major renovation but the rooftop gardens were beautiful 😍

Highly recommend for your pregame drinks with a view! Rooftop is first come first serve so don’t bother with a reservation. Staff is all super cute and the drinks are pretty strong.

Got seated quickly in a booth, wasn’t busy at all. 30 min with no service we finally hunted down a manager and told him. Proceeded to watch him do nothing. Took 45 minutes before our server came and took a drink order. After another 20 min with no drink I asked a bartender to get a manager. Manager never came over. We finally got our first and only round of drinks an hour after sitting down and it was probably the worst old fashioned I’ve ever had. 0/5 do not recommend.

Great ocean views from the rooftop ! Went here for late lunch. There were only appetizers to choose from so we all shared. We had the butterfly shrimp with a sweet sauce and a mango salsa. Shrimp showed up very quickly and were good but a little oily when they were served. The birra dumplings were good with lots of sauce. The ahi poke nachos were good but not enough tuna. We also had truffle fries which were fine. Service was excellent and they were friendly. Good mixed drinks too. I found the place to be a bit expensive for lunch for mediocre food and drinks. ($175) Your paying for the view.

We had such an amazing time here! We got bottle service and food, and Madison (our bottle service girl) and Jason (the manager) went above and beyond. They were super attentive — they kept us updated on our food, made us fun mixed shots with our bottles, and made the whole night feel effortless. The DJ was spinning great house music all night, and the overall vibe was unbeatable. Out of all the bars we visited in San Diego, this was hands down the most fun. If you’re into good EDM, great service, and a lively atmosphere, this is the spot. 10/10

My husband and I popped in to this place on a Friday at 4:30 pm looking for a drink and light dinner. We were seated on the rooftop, which was cool. I ordered a watermelon cocktail drink (they didn’t have the Beverly Colada that I actually wanted) and hubby ordered a beer—both were good. The roasted pear with burrata cheese salad sounded amazing, so I ordered it. It came with arugula, which I love. My complaint is that the dressing was TOO tangy, maybe too much lemon juice, and the tanginess was not balanced by the pears, since they were not ripe and were not releasing any pear flavor or sweetness whatsoever. So while the salad is a great concept, the execution left something to be desired. My husband got some chicken tacos, which he liked. Our waitress was lovely and the restroom was beautiful.

I've been to San Diego many times and tried a fair share of restaurants, but The Beverly Beach Garden is officially a new must-visit on every trip. From the stunning interior to the perfectly curated playlist, the vibe was absolutely on point. I had one of the best espresso martinis of my life, and my friends and I shared a few appetizers—every single one was a hit. We couldn’t stop talking about how good everything was. Our server, Afton, made the experience even better. She was incredibly personable, sweet, attentive, and just genuinely great at what she does. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fun, stylish place with amazing ambience and even better food and drinks. Already counting down the days until my next visit to San Diego so I can come back!

I visited Beverly Beach Garden a few weeks ago with friends, and overall, it was a memorable experience--though not without its ups and downs. We all ordered cocktails to start, and surprisingly, no one at the table enjoyed theirs. I tried the "Witch Coffee" cocktail, expecting something like an espresso martini based on the description, but it tasted more like vanilla whiskey on the rocks. Definitely not what we anticipated. The real standout was the food, especially the appetizers. We shared taquitos, calamari, dumplings, and crispy rice, and all of them were incredible--flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The entrees were solid too. I had the carne asada plate, which tasted good, though the portion of meat could have been more generous and it was a bit tough to cut, so slightly better preparation would go a long way. The atmosphere is stunning, with water flowing right into the center of the tables for a unique, zen-like touch. However, the water feature needs more attention. We noticed bits of rice floating in it--likely from previous diners--which took away from the otherwise lovely setting. Service was great throughout our visit. Overall, Beverly Beach Garden is worth a stop for the beautiful ambiance, amazing appetizers, and friendly service--but if you're a cocktail lover, you might want to stick to something simple until they refine their mixology.

The view on the deck is to die for. We sat down at 3:10 and asked about happy hour. Very sweet and attentive bartender/wait person didn't know then came back and told us drinks are 1/2 price. We both ordered a draft. She came back for food order and we asked if there is a happy hour menu. She said yes, all apps are 1/2 price. We ordered 2 apps. We hung out - had 3 draft beers each, I mean why not / it's happy hour pricing. Then we get the bill. Beer was full price ??? When asked, our wait person - the same gal who waited on is before - said, oh beers aren't on happy hour, only cocktails. And that's why we gave it 2 stars, and won't be back. Damn, liked this place but not being upfront about their happy hour prices and items is garbage. Too many other place's to spend our money (we live nearby).

The food was average however the service was very poor. The waitress were more about attending to talking in the service area than taking care of the customers. Asked for water twice and watched another waitress walk right by us with a pitcher in her hand 1/2 full and could have easily filled our glasses. Clearly no training our expectations from management.

Excellent customer service and tasty drinks . This restaurant and bar is adorable. I love the rooftop view.. I can't comment on the food, cause I've never tried it. I look forward to going back and trying it.

This place is quite cute, perfect for dates and group outings and dinners as well as drinks. They have a good variety of drinks and they're pretty good However any group bigger than a group of 6 for dinner may be difficult to accommodate, came here for a birthday dinner and got sat on a table with stools in a corner, not the most comfortable as a woman wearing a skirt and heels but overall the ambiance made up for that! The roof is adorable with a scenic little waterfall structure in the middle, very romantic vibe! Would highly recommend the ahi nachos and the pear salad absolutely delicious!

We had a 6:45 PM reservation for 8 on a Thursday and asked to sit upstairs, but were told they couldn't accommodate us -- even though there was only one other table seated on the main level at the time. The space is beautiful with lots of greenery, water features, and a koi pond under a glass floor. The entrance is a bit hidden (it's upstairs), but the location is great, and happy hour has solid deals. You also get 2 hours of free parking with validation, which is a nice perk. Our server Bella was super kind, but she was both the waitress and the bartender, so service was slow and a bit scattered. Drinks were forgotten, and we had to flag her down or go up to the bar to get things. Not her fault, but it did take away from the experience -- especially since we were celebrating a birthday. Food came out looking great -- apps were well-portioned for sharing, though we wished sauces came with spoons. Overall, the food was good, nothing mind-blowing. The dinner menu is a bit limited, with a surprisingly large number of enchiladas. Beautiful ambiance, great location, but they could use more support staff and a few small tweaks to really shine.

Wow. What an experience. I called with some questions prior to making the decision to come try this spot out. I had the absolute pleasure of speaking to Peter. Kind, courteous, professional but HUMAN and absolutely hysterical. He answered my questions but it was the energy that he brought to the conversation that reeled me in. At first glance, when you enter this establishment it's absolutely stunning. Way nicer than El Prez (previous restaurant), the energy really gives an elevated experience which is a nice change. We went upstairs to check out the rooftop and the view is incredible. The ambiance on the roof top is giving pool house vibes, every single staff member that I had the chance to talk to were all so nice and had great personalities. I really love that this place does service but they also give a hospitality experience which I think really adds to the overall atmosphere. For food, we tried the pear and burrata salad with arugula and toasted almond slivers. I liked the vinaigrette, it was citrusy and paired well with the burrata. I think they grilled the pear which added a nice touch. We also tried the birria dumplings which were so so good. The consume and the beef inside the dumplings perfectly resembled a birria taco. Cilantro and onion, all very good. We will be back to try the ahi nachos and the dinner menu, and I will 100% tell all of my friends about my experience today and I will never ever forget Peter. This place is a gem.

I didnt have any food at this place. We had drinks. They were pretty good. The service was great. The ambiance was super relaxing. We went early in the day around 3pm so it was very slow. Not too much ppl at the place. There was a lot of stairs to get to the rooftop bar. I felt like I put in my steps that day, lol. I LOVED the whole vibe of the beverly. So so pretty! The restroom was immaculate too! All the decor had me in awe.

What an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, I was blown away by the stunning decor. So my style.... Think lush greenery, coastal-chic touches, oceanview, and a vibe that instantly makes you feel like you're on a luxury getaway. Every detail feels thoughtfully curated and beautifully Yelpable...lol. We sat on the rooftop as the downstairs portion of the restaurant was closed, and let me just say... the view is breathtaking. Panoramic sights, warm breezes, and just the right amount of ambiance. Absolutely perfect for a relaxed afternoon or a romantic evening out. Now, onto the food: the Baja fish tacos were fresh and flavorful with just the right amount of spice and crunch. The asada tacos were equally impressive...tender, well-seasoned, and completely satisfying. And don't even get me started on the cocktails. I tried the "It's Not You, It's Me" and WOW... refreshing, well-balanced, and dangerously tasty. Definitely a must-try. Overall, Beverly Beach Garden is a total win. Great food, gorgeous setting, and a rooftop view that seals the deal. Can't wait to come back!

I have only been here past 10pm during the nighttime scene and I am absolutely obsessed with the way they decorated the restaurant/bar. From the outside, the bar looks trendy and it's located in a prime location if you're deciding to bar hop a little on a Friday or Saturday night. They have lots of seating in the main room at the bar and also in the booths. This is great for a more chill and relaxed vibe where you can talk and catch up with friends. When you've gotten your drink and want to dance and explore, there is a downstairs with another bar and a DJ playing music. The vibe of the downstairs club changes depending on the night but they were playing techno/EDM when I was there last week. The line to get in isn't long at all and we were able to get in really fast. Their drinks are expensive but reasonable to being in PB. I definitely want to try this place during the day for Sunday Brunch or dinner before going out. They have a balcony with seating as well, but that's only available during their restaurant times. Overall, the place is decorated very nicely and gives a rich modern feel. The music was decent but definitely for a specific crowd, and there's many places to sit down and have a great conversation!

I came here for two birthday parties a week apart from one another. Both on sundays, both similar crowds. The first weekend we had amazing service and everyone left feeling awesome. The second, our service was borderline nonexistent. Our server seemed really overwhelmed and the bar was taking nearly 40min to get our drinks made. Some of our food never came out. The food that did come was good though. We still had a good time but it was a disappointing contrast from the first weekend.

VERY overpriced bar. I spent $26 on house vodka soda. In a bar next door, I spent $32 for two. Math is not mathing... but place is cute though. Sadly, I am not an instagrammable person but more price conscious

This rating is for the service and vibes. Really attractive decor and aesthetic is on point. Looks like a really good time. Service by the waitresses was great. Downside was the food and drinks. Drinks are pre-made in batches, which I understand from a high volume perspective. However, preparing batches of pre-made cocktails also requires the staff mixing the cocktails together to follow the drink recipe to ensure consistency. Our first round of cocktails was much better than the second round of cocktails, which conveys either lack of training on the staff member who made the second round of drinks or lack of oversight by a bar manager checking on the quality of drinks before being sent out to guests. That being said, you're probably better off ordering no cocktails if you want to know exactly what you're getting into(beer,wine, bubbly). Pass on the cocktails. Let's talk about the food. I understand the chef was going for a creative interpretation of Latin and Asian flavors. Sometimes this is successful and sometimes it's a massive miss. In this case, it was the latter. I was disappointed as I had high hopes based on the decor and vibes of this restaurant. I ordered the octopus and shrimp aguachiles expecting a spicy but fresh take on a traditional aguachiles. What I received was utter confusion and bewilderment. The octopus was indistinguishable and unidentifiable due to being chopped up in tiny pieces. Shrimp was also quartered instead of whole. Where was the cilantro? Lime? Serrano peppers? Where was the delicious cocktail of juices for the shrimp and onion to marinate in so you can dip your chips in it?????? The best thing we ate was the birria dumplings. Absolutely delicious and the one shining star from this experience. Overall, hard pass.

We made a reservation here on a beautiful sunny San Diego day and were seated on the rooftop which offers incredible views of Pacific Beach! I didn't realize this was previously El Prez and was under renovation for a year before they reopened in November '24. They validate 2 hrs of free parking at The Promenade (normally $12 an hr) which is an incredible perk considering how busy the weekends are in this area. For brunch, I ordered the poke nachos which were delicious! I also really enjoyed the Lavender 75 and Hugo Spritz and they definitely have the best daytime cocktail options! Our server was wonderful and checked up on us often. Beverly Beach Garden is a wonderful brunch spot if you're looking for rooftop ocean views and great food and cocktails! Ill definitely be bringing friends and visitors back!

Torn in my review. I'd give it 4 stars if you're here for drinks and vibes but 1-2 stars for the food... decent drinks with a really cute interior and views of the sunset. The host was really sweet and checked in on us often even tho it was so busy. She also replaced one of our dishes after another waitress dropped it in the water on the table.... HOWEVER, although they offer a lot of food on the menu DO NOT ORDER. I should've known... I saw a video on tiktok about someone getting sick from the food (foreshadowing) but decided to give it a try anyways since my group was ordering apps. We ordered chips and guac, calamari, wagyu taquitos, and truffle fries. Guac had no flavor, small portion for giant bowl of chips. Calamari and truffle fries were decent. Wagyu taquitos NASTYY no flavor, bland and dry. I only had 2 aperol spritzes when we were there at 6ish... YET I wake up in the middle of the night with the urge the throw up... I texted the other girls and they also were nauseas and had to throw up.... Go for drinks, skip the food

The 4 of us went here to celebrate my birthday. It was all of our first time here. Beautiful setting, atmosphere, and view. We're definitely planning to return at night to check out the view at that time. M-ordered steak and eggs. Everything was perfect, but the potatoes were definitely well done. S-ordered the French toast with the toppings on the side. French toast itself was A++!! We didn't care for the peaches part. C-Ordered the waygu burger. Perfectly cooked and the fries were amazing! I ordered The Cali. FML if that shit didn't give me a mouthgasm! Soooooo good. Highly recommend. Our server was Erica. She was attentive and sweet. We ordered a shit ton of alcohol, too. My ONLY non-food related complaint was the cute little hostess wearing a skirt so short it looked like it belonged to my 5 year old granddaughter. Every time she walked up the steps by our table......well, all I can say is I appreciate that she put white underwear on.

The food tasted amazing and the drinks were really good as well. This place has a really nice view ! Only reason I'm not giving this place a 5 is because the service was good / ok nothing amazing however when me and my husband asked for the check the server told him just to sign here that it was ready... but she put 50% tip on her own and my husband spotted it and changed the tip To a normal 25% tip. We didn't appreciate the feeling that she said it was ready to go and putting her own tip in. Felt shady on that end.

Food: The food here is solid, and there's a good variety of drinks to choose from. We tried the ahi nachos (3.5/5)--they were huge, crispy, and packed with flavor, definitely a good shareable option. Service: The servers were nice and welcoming, and things ran pretty smoothly. We had a reservation, so getting in was simple. There was also an ID check at the entrance. Ambiance: The spot has two different vibes--downstairs almost feels more like a club with the loud music and people grabbing drinks, while upstairs is a beautiful rooftop overlooking Pacific Beach, perfect for food and drinks. The decor is really nice, and our table had a cool water feature running through it, which added to the experience. When it gets cold, they turn on the fire pits, making it a comfortable place to hang out. Around the bar area, people were standing and vibing, so the energy was lively but not overwhelming. Overall: A great rooftop spot with good food, nice drinks, and a chill yet fun atmosphere. Worth a visit if you're in the area and want a good mix of vibes and views.

We had a lovely night at Beverly! The decor was spot on. It is definitely an upgraded feel from el prez, and different experience in that Beverly seemed to be more of a dinner or cocktail experience with friends or date night (and el Prez was more club-with-food type feel). Honestly the 4 stars is for the vibes of the experience. That being said, the location is really its selling point along the beach and the food was just OK. Would have given the food a 3/5. Taco Tuesday is a good deal 50% off all tacos but there are many other places to have tacos in San Diego. Easy parking on weekdays. People were nice and service was quick.

This restaurant has a marvelous view of the beach on the rooftop. They offer a burger special, a burger with a beer for $ 20. I had their extra crispy Coconut Shrimp since they ran out of their Alaskan cod. To pair with my Shrimp, I ordered their Strawberry Stampede cocktail, which tastes like a strawberry mule. From 4pm - 5pm on weekdays, they offer 50% off cocktails. 50% off alcohol. On Tuesdays, they have Taco Tuesday specials. Our server Abby was a good server who was friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks for informing us with the restaurant burger & beer special.

Finally this space is opened and being used. This is one of my favorite venue locations in SD use to be el Perez. Such a big space to host on the main floor but always seems to be empty. We dined on the rooftop. The renovations are top tier for sure. Definitely a great place to grab a drink and watch sunset. Ambience is 10/10 for me. Love all the pink!! Service was good. The host was super friendly and helped us find the perfect table with heat on a chilly SD evening. Our waitress was ok, all the mix drinks arrived before a draft beer which we had to ask if it was coming or not. Food was good I ordered the birria dumplings. They were average was missing chili oil to bring it on the next level in my opinion. Asked for chili oil and got some sort of aïoli sauce. Not sure what happened there. I also go the Ahi tuna tacos they were good, was not a fan of the crispy onions on top gave a bitter taste. My husband got the burger and enjoyed it , was described as a smash burger. Drinks were good. I got the "it's not me it's you" not too sweet refreshing drink. Parking lot is available. There is also street parking. Will be back to try out the other menu items as they have a large variety of tapas, apps and more.

I really appreciate the new business thats opened up here. The decor is gorgeous and the vibes are great. With that being said, there is a lot of work to be done here. Here is what we ordered: Tropical ceviche - 9/10 this was the only good thing we had, fresh and flavorful Truffle fries - 4/10 soggy, nice truffle taste but very soggy Caesar salad - 3/10 some leaves were still frozen The service was good but when we brought up our concerns about the food, there was a bit of defensiveness which was strange. Overall though they did make it up to us so it was a net positive experience in that category. I think this spot can be a real hit if they fixed their menu items and added music to the roof top.

This place is whimsically insane and I mean that in the most positive way. Retro 60's country club kind of vibe, girls in tennis skirts and boys in turquoise polos. But the cocktails are incredible, and the service is excellent for as crazy busy as it gets. Beautiful rooftop view, super active / busy but never quite feels crowded. I think I ate but again, the cocktails are incredible. Downstairs appears to go full club after dark, but we only hung out on the rooftop. Couple of guys doing key bumps in the handi stall completed this mildly surreal experience. Highly recommended, would go back!

I didn't realize this place was previously El Prez. It's a nice rooftop bar and restaurant right next to the beach. Good for sunsets. There's only 1 hostess walking us to our tables and cleaning the menu so it took a while to be seated. They do take rsvp but their website says it's for the first floor. Rooftop is first come first serve. Street parking or the promenade parking structure (bring your ticket to validate, first 2 hours is free). I can imagine it being tough to find on weekends. We tried their 2 popular drinks: it's me not you (fruity and pink) and Beverly buzz which is basically an espresso martini. For food we shared the poke nachos, birria dumplings and calamari. Portions were huge so we got full of it. The poke nachos was the best dish.

This was such a vibey spot. The decor, the space all done wonderfully! The service was pretty good, despite wanting an itemized receipt which they didn't give. We also didn't ask after so that's our bad haha. But the drinks were yummy, especially the Mai tai (not a classic one, but really good nonetheless!!) The coconut crusted cod was also yummy, just a bit overcooked-- but everything served with it especially the sweet and sour sauce made up for it. Truffle fries were not crispy to my delight as I love some soft fries but my boyfriend would've liked a little more crisp. Could've had a little more truffle flavor. Comes with a nice Dijon aioli that was good too. Overall five stars because we'll be back for sure. It's a vibe at night and the heaters are everywhere and make it super comfortable on a chilly night by the ocean. Definitely recommend!

I was privileged enough to come here the first Saturday they were open. The restaurant inside is extremely beautiful. The food was good however, I was a bit disappointed due to them not having any of their main entrées available. They were completely out of just about everything. Given it was their first weekend open I'll give them a pass, but it was disappointing to only have apps available. The Aji tuna seemed like it was missing tuna, let's contribute that to it being their first weekend and staff still figuring out how things operate and flow. I do plan to come back to give it another try

This establishment started out over a decade ago as The Beachwood in the Promenade at Pacific Beach. After undergoing a makeover over the past several months, The Beverly Beach Garden debuted this week. I visited for dinner on the opening night and stayed on the main level so I can't comment about the rooftop view overlooking the waterfront. A couple of aspects were very noticeable when I entered the premises... one, the pink/floral ambiance, and two, the high noise level. I have dined at multiple beachfront venues that double as a nightclub, but this was the loudest of all the places. I sat at a corner table diagonal from the central bar area. The menu sheet featured Baja coastal cuisine with starters, tapas, salads, tacos, entrees, and desserts. I was glad to see it wasn't typical bar fare, but the prices were elevated for this style of food. My order consisted of the Birria Dumplings and the Adobo Pork. The first was an appetizer of six slow-cooked beef dumplings served in fried morita chili oil garnished with micro-greens. I didn't notice the presence of avocado as described on the menu. The dumplings were average in size, and the shredded meat was decent. Twenty dollars for the dish was a bit much as eight pieces would have justified the cost. The entree was a pork shank that was slow roasted inside a banana leaf. Rice, black beans, corn tortillas, and salsa macha were the accompaniments. When I unfurled the banana leaf, the bone immediately slid off the pork. I was impressed at the tenderness of the meat. I only ate one of the tortillas as the beans and rice provided enough filler. The waitresses that served my table did a good job. I couldn't help but think that the workers should have been wearing ear protection because the decibel level reached the upper 80s, and you had to shout to have a conversation. The uncomfortable din was why I reduced my rating to three stars for The Beverly Beach Garden.

This is a great restaurant! The service it good and I love the theme, inside has great decor and the music was all my favorite EDM songs. The drinks were flavorful but sweet. The food is flavor packed! I tired the carne Asada plate, rolled tacos, Poke nachos, and two of their salads. The salads were not my favorite the first one the lettuce was icey and seemed frozen, the 2nd salad didn't have the right dressing on it and was still Icey. The manager gave us a Complementary Caesar salad to go which was very kind of them! The Cesar salad was good but not my favorite. I will be back but I might skip the salads and just order entrées and appetizers.

I have mixed feelings about this review. The vibes are great if you're under 30. I am not. It feels like more of a night club than a restaurant--including bouncers stationed at every access point (stairs/elevator) and they check I.D.s with no one under 21 admitted, even for a 5:00 rooftop dinner only. Glad our 20 yr old son couldn't make it, because we would have had to go somewhere else. The waitress brought out one meal (out of three) and when we asked if it could be brought out with the other meals... she told us, that's not how the kitchen works. Our other entrees came out 20 minutes later. The food was just OK and expensive. There weren't enough umbrellas for each table, so it was pretty hot. We had to ask the waiter to fix our wobbly table as well.

Stopped by for a drink and was blown away by the vibe and stunning views! The first level has clubbing music and it felt more mellow on the rooftop during the initial time we got there around 4pm on a Saturday but as it got later it got more crowded. I ordered a Moscow Mule and truffle fries. Both tasted really good. The truffle fries came with a really good truffle aioli sauce and umami truffle ketchup. I loved our server and experience here. I highly recommend!

Mixed feelings about this bar. We came for happy hour and while the 50% off cocktails was great, they were missing a ton of ingredients for the drinks which was a bit weird so it really limited the choices. The drinks themselves were just alright, and once it wasn't happy hour the price def shot up quite a bit for not very many drinks. Our servers also kept spilling our lavender cocktails all over on the way to us which was kinda funny but also a bummer since the cocktails were not that big. The ambiance however was cute. Love the rooftop and views and it got pretty busy after happy hour.

The space is so cute and it felt like Miami. The music was playing very loud so it felt like a bar/club environment. My group wanted to just get appetizers to share so we got the guacamole trio and the ahi tuna nachos. Both were huge portions and got us full. I wish the guacamole had more salt and lime because it just tasted like mashed avocado.

Was excited to go here since the renovations were made after El Prez. If you're coming here to dine, the experience depends on where they end up seating you. We got seated next to water view, but our table was wonkey, more like park tables. The nicer table seatings weren't many on the rooftop. As for the food, we tried the birria taquitos appetizer, the ahi tacos and the carne asada tacos. The taquitos were more like frozen taquitos with jar salsa. However, the tacos were delicious!! The carne meat was so tender and juicy. The ahi was fresh. Drinks were served in a plastic cup, tasted like a bar drink. Overall, not a place I'd go again for brunch. Maybe better at night as a drink and chill club vibe.

Dope spot, rad location, good was just ok. Drinks were good and the view was great but there just wasn't much special about the food. For the price it should at least leave you feeling satisfied.

Love love love this place! We went to celebrate a birthday and the food, the service and the ambiance was phenomenal. If you're looking to go on a date, catch up with friends, or celebrate an occasion this is the spot for you!

Food - presentation super delicious. Highly recommend the cauliflower tacos with the roasted Chiles and aioli. Charlie our bar tender was super awesome. Great customer service. Ambiance is paradise. I will return and hopefully get to experience Charlie again.

Pros: vibe, decor, drinks, music, location, view, quality of food, can accommodate large groups Cons: price, not for dining, service Came here to celebrate a friends birthday and we had a large party with ~10 people. It was easy to get a reservation for 7p on a Friday night. Servers were not attentive and/or they were understaffed. We were seated and then didn't see the server for a while. One of my friends got sick of waiting and just ordered her drink at the bar before the server came back. We didn't get waters for the table until everyone FINISHED their meal. Everyone ordered drinks but isn't serving water a bare minimum? It was 7p, regular dinner time, and the music volume was club/bar level. I could not hear my friends two seats away. Everyone was yelling the whole time. Overall, I would recommend this spot for some drinks and a view but definitely not for dinner. The food quality was good but insanely overpriced. You can get the same quality food for half the price somewhere else.

Why am I waiting 15 minutes for the assistant manager to finish his conversation with the bartender at the roof top? No joke waited for 15 mins with zero service. Walked over to the Flamingo and served in 30 seconds with a far busier bar. Stop hiring incompetent managers for god's sake.

Beautiful interior and rooftop with stunning views of the sunset on the ocean! It was super loud inside which made conversation difficult. Yummy drinks, decent apps, and great service.

Went last night. Annoyed in the beginning because the hostess assured us it would only be a few minutes and that she was just going to make sure real quick that it wasn't overbooked or something along those lines. She asked for my number, we got a text, then saw we were 8th in line. That was a bit confusing. Seemed like we were next. We ended up waiting 25-30 minutes to get sat. The menu was small. We decided what we wanted for appetizer then got passed by the waitress many times. We don't expect to have our orders taken right away but at least the common decency to say hello and not make us feel like we're non existent. The ambiance was great and lively. Upstairs had a bar so you could go for just a drink if you wanted to. Once our order was taken the food came out SO quick. We were astonished. The food was great! It's hard to find poke nachos with quality ingredients and wontons and these wontons stayed crunchy in every bite. Ryan loved the Cali tacos and every ingredient was evenly dispersed so you weren't getting an overbearing amount of one flavor or one ingredient in each bite like a burrito could do. I thought the carne asada could have been a little more flavorful. We debated on 4 or 5 stars. We may come try again in a less busy time and hope for a better experience.

We arrived from out of town. Made a reservation ahead of time. When we got there no one was around and it was confusing where to go to find someone. We finally asked a bartender, he said to sit anywhere. I pointed out that we were a group of 7 and also had a reservation. He still suggested just finding an open table. There was no where setup that would fit all of us so we pulled a couple tables together. A server showed up during that time and she was great in helping us get setup, taking our order and making our time there enjoyable. The food was okay. 5 of us ordered the pear salad. It was unfortunately way over dressed and just a weird combo with the warm burrata and cold salad. We finished and a couple ladies took off for the restroom. The rest of us waited and waited for our check and never did see our server again. Finally we went searching and found a busser who said he would find her. He came back a little while later and said that someone else had paid and we were all set. Our server never did come back to tell us that. Overall it was a clunky experience with mediocre food. The server was very accommodating until she simply disappeared once the check was paid.

I like the upgrades and renovations made, the inside bar and rooftop definitely had a glow up. Perfect outside view on the rooftop overlooking the beach. I didn't love spending $10 on the Blackberry Rosemary Spritz mocktail. It's soda water with flavoring lol but it tasted okay. I didn't try the food so I cannot speak on the taste or service. Based on the reviews, I would wait to eat there.

Our table got a bunch of different dishes: Truffle fries, guacamole, tropical ceviche, steak tacos, shrimp tacos, pear and burrata salad, and Del Mar. Everything was pretty good, except the swordfish tacos which were bland and seemed undercooked even for seared fish. Hard to explain. Service was great though and the patio has a nice ambiance. View is a little mixed? You can see the water, but also a bunch of ugly rooftops (something they can't change obviously).

This place took a dive since being El Prez. Management was rude and unreasonable. However the bartender was very nice. Will not be coming back anytime soon.

The bartender was super rude. When we arrived at 10pm, she told us the bar was closed for cocktails but we could order beers on tap. She talked to me like I was stupid when I asked for the smallest size, and then when we wanted to order on separate tabs she said "well I'm trying to close SOO ..." like if she didn't want us to order beers then she should have said she was closed. Worst bartender experience I've ever had! We left after 1 drink bc they sent everyone downstairs and we were only there for the rooftop and views.
