Typically I love leaving good reviews, but unfortunately I had a pretty rough time after visiting here.

TL,DR - good service and establishment, but got food poisoning from here... rough two days.

The Good: Loved the atmosphere and decided to get a celebratory lunch here. Staff were friendly, service was wonderful. Took a look at the menu: 55 items on it (not including deserts or drinks). Lots of variety, but usually when there are that many items, it's hard to keep fresh ingredients for all of these dishes. Server assured all ingredients were fresh and I placed my order: poke bowl and Big Surf Burger. The service was prompt and appetizer (poke bowl) came out first. Was not expecting it to be a platter (instead of a bowl) but I enjoyed the creative take on the dish. Burger was presented well afterwards. Both were delicious.

The Bad: About an hour afterwards I had massive stomach pains and had to regurgitate the meal. Spent the past two days without being able to keep food down and other textbook side-effectsof food poisoning. Feeling better now, but oof.

2 stars mainly because the staff was kind and the place looked good, but not willing to go through this again. I take no pleasure in leaving a bad review, but its got to be...

Overall: Food was bland and not the greatest, Service was ok, and the Atmosphere needed some redoing. Food: Got the friday steak special which came with mashed potatoes & broccoli, and got a regular cheeseburger with fries aswell. The steak had way to much garlic butter on it n a good amount of fat on it, which i wouldnt mind the fat if the steak tasted good. The mashed potatoes were very bland and tasted like they were just instant made mashed potatoes. The cheeseburger was something you could just make at home nothing special, but they for some reason slathered it with mayo,ketchup,mustard to the point everything fell apart and was soggy. The fries were meh. Also got an order of fried pickles, which were huge chunks with a weird batter on them, some might like it but not me. Overall you could get something better for cheaper (ex:ihop,dennys,etc) all this cost my $60+ dollars, which is fine if the food was good, but it wasn't. Service: It was ok, the waitress that served us was chill. Atmosphere: Felt like i was there for the early bird special(it was 4pm). The tv all had news or tennis...
