Surf City Still Works — Restaurant in Huntington Beach

Surf City Gin is spectacular. Craft cocktails- SO good and creative. We had several different dishes. All so good. We did get a special mushroom risotto that was INSANE, lick the bowl good! Chef came out- awesome, Michelin star rated ❤️ 🌟 Co owner worked in Vegas, came out and smoked one of the fancy mezcal drinks. That was a treat, NOT cheap but tasted great and pretty cool to watch. Sat up at the bar a few times, staff is delightful. Their Happy Hour is Legit AFFORDABLE dare I say 'cheap' in a good way. Not cheap in quality. Still the same craft artistry made, not watered down. Just very reasonable! That was impressive. I hope this gets more buzz and visitors. It is in a business district so easy to miss but, it's really fabulous. Toured their Distillery in the back and it's beautiful! Check this out and keep cool local places open! Their spirits are genuinely awesome. If not a Gin drinker, this will win you over. But they have Tequila and other spirits too...

Great place with delicious food and drinks. The mixology class is very fun and a great idea for date night (found and booked class/“experience” in OpenTable). We had a little tour of the incredibly beautiful distillery equipment and facilities in the back warehouse space — they are a functioning distillery that makes all types of spirits. Then we had a tasting of all their spirits and then we made two awesome drinks. They were delicious and taught us so much on how to correctly use barware, using some fun new ingredients like Aquafaba for foam and jam/preserves for a fig inspired bourbon drink. It was absolutely amazing. They also bring out a variety of delicious food and appetizers. You have a seat at the bar so you can order dinner or more food afterwards! Cannot say enough great things. The staff was also incredibly welcoming and inviting — thank you Gaston & Deidre! We definitely...

Saw this place on instagram and decided to check it out as we live in the neighborhood. It's tucked away in a business park but super cute inside. This would be an amazing space for a private party or trivia night. We ordered the artichoke and spinach dip to start and it was fantastic. Our server brought more bread which was a nice touch. For drinks we enjoyed a Gettin Figgy Wit It & East Meets West - both delicious. It's clear this place has invested in high quality bartenders and a talented chef. It will pay off for them. Next up was dinner: I had the chopped salad with fried chicken (packed with flavor) and my husband had the mushroom gnocchi (incredible, savory- prosciutto was the perfect touch). Service was attentive and friendly. Ultimately, we came as first-timers and will likely become regulars as this place is a hidden gem in Huntington Beach....
