Food: Flavorless feast

The Beach House's Poke Bowl, Classic Breakfast, and Skillet Cornbread are quite possibly the dishes they've put the most effort into, but that isn't saying much. It seems creativity is non-existent, with reviews mentioning cold, tasteless food and illegible menus. Their freshness isn't better, with various reviews pointing out raw meat patties and undercooked vegetables. The value is equally appalling as customers complain about overpriced, tasteless food. Variety is a lost cause as well with a limited menu and inconsistent quality of dishes.

  • Great Portions

    Portions described as generous, huge, and just right by customers.

  • Okay Taste

    Varying reviews on food, mixing positive with mediocre and bland mentions.

  • Quality

    Food lacking freshness, bland taste, near-raw meat patty, and undercooked vegetables.

Vibe: Beauty belies chaos

It must be said, the restaurant does have a pretty facade. With a beachfront ambiance lauded by many and enchanting views of the ocean, it looks like the perfect spot for a date night. However, the reality is that it's often too noisy due to large parties and even the drinks can't save the day as many complain about them being overpriced and poorly made.

  • Great Views

    Unbeatable beach views with amazing sunsets, enhancing dining experience.

  • Dates

    Large parties make it too loud to hear your date's conversation.

Perks: Amateurish assistance

The Beach House fails to shine in the perks department. From small parking lots and high noise levels to aloof hosts and slow service, the complaints are many. The restaurant is also not pet-friendly nor kid-friendly, alienating a significant portion of potential customers. All in all, a rather grim picture.

  • Okay Outdoor

    Patio setups appreciated, though some found them slightly uncomfortable.

  • Groups

    Large party causes noise, making it hard to hear others
