We have been to the Beachcomber multiple times for breakfast and dinner and have loved our experience except for this last time. We went to celebrate my birthday and had a less than excellent experience. Really the hostess was the worst. We had my mom in a wheelchair and my 3 month old baby which was already a little struggle to get to the restaurant. The hostess informed me multiple times that my baby was considered a “person” and I made the reservation wrong. I apologized and said she doesn’t eat food nor sit in a chair so I didn’t think to put her (lesson learned as a new mom). She then asked multiple times if I had other children that I didn’t put which was a little strange as I told her a few times it was only my baby. She said it would be a lot to accommodate both my baby and my mom in a wheelchair which made it a little uncomfortable as we were already there and I made the reservation stating that we had them. It’s not like we could do anything about it at that point. We sat at a table with no one sitting next to us and my baby was sleeping in the stroller. She came over multiple times asking me if I had a car seat I could transfer her to so they could use the table next to us. Our stroller did not block the table and we told them we would be happy to move it to let other customers go by to get seated if the people might be larger. She continued to push for us to go get a car seat THREE TIMES after we sat down which would require my husband to take the bus across the the street pay $4 or walk 20 minutes. I would understand if the restaurant was full and our stroller was blocking the table, but the restaurant was half empty. Literally counted 8 open tables. Our waitress was very nice and I even mentioned what the hostess said and she confirmed what we were thinking that we weren’t blocking the other table.

The food in the past was always good. We got the tuna nachos which were great, but I got the lobster roll which was “market price” and extremely fishy and had pieces of shell in it. I’m not one to send back food, but it was literally not edible with all the shells. I had to order something else which came out after our table finished. Nothing special was done for my birthday which would have been nice as they celebrated the table across.

Overall, I am bummed. This was one of my favorite restaurants. Even though the view is great we won’t be returning.
