First off, I must provide a recommendation to the Surfside Restuarant management - please change out your picture shown here in your listing. The burnt english muffin with lettuce and crab salad definitely isn't very attractive, and doens't make me want to rush right over for lunch. I ate here a couple of times during our recent stay, and it... More

We went to the Surfside for lunch yesterday (Thursday). All three of us ordered the steak sandwhich. We'd had it before and it was pretty good at that time. Yesterday, however, was a different story. First, our waitress was not very friendly, almost to the point of being rude. When 2 of us asked of we could have something other... More

We had both dinner and breakfast here. Both meals were very good. Service was prompt. Views of the beach from the tables were great.

We stopped at The Surfside for a drink and appetizers around 5pm. Since my son was with us who is 19 we couldn't go in the lounge so we asked to use a table in the restaurant, as only a few were occupied. The staff would make no accommodation for us saying that all the tables were booked until 6:30... More

Lovely restaurant with great food and spectacular views of the ocean. Dinner at sunset was perfect! Great bar tenders who make great cocktails!

We are from Orange Count, CA and have travelled much of the west coast and the clams at Surfside were the best from San Diego to Florence. Top itoff with an excellent Clam Chowder and Prime Rib Bef Dip, the view, reasonable prices, and good service and you have a destination not to miss.

The views from this restaurant are incredible! My breakfast has been great each time I have visited. On my last trip, I had a poor experience due to the bad attitude of the hostess.

The restaurant has a stunning panorama view of the ocean, and really good food. The wait staff is very friendly and accommodating. This is a handy place to eat, especially if you're staying at the hotel.

Upscale place, I felt a tad under-dressed in jeans and a T shirt, but no one minded. The food was good, the scallops were satisfactory, wine wasn't bad either. The real highlight is the view, that's what you pay for and that's what you get! Not a bad seat in the place. I'd rate it "average" if it weren't for... More

Our family and friends met for dinner at the Surfside Restaurant at sunset this past weekend. The ocean view was fantastic. The food and the service easily matched the setting. Quiet unubtrusive servers with great attention to detail were very helpful in making our choices from an amazingly diverse menu that features local and area grown (and bottled) items. The... More
