Best Oyster Bars in Serra Mesa

We moved to the area about a year ago and, especially over the summer, we have eaten here fairly often. It's consistently excellent: good food, good service, and not too expensive (though certainly not cheap). Last night, we dined early. Being winter (or what passes for it, in SoCal), it was getting dark outside. And that brings me to the point: the lights inside the restaurant are so dim that it weas very difficult to read the menus. We were not the only ones - many people used their phones (or the candles on the table) so help them. And one of the pleasures of eating in a good restaurant is visual: the decor, how the food is plated, and the food's quality. It was far too dark to appreciate any of those things. We hadn't experienced this before, before it was always bright daylight when we ate. So, to the management - PLEASE increase the lighting a shade (pun intended) when it's dark outside.

My wife and I enjoyed it completely the hostess status immediately in a perfect spot to watch the sunset. The salad I had was delicious and entrées were excellent. I really enjoyed our waitress and her help in all aspects of our visit. Thank you so much!

Their ads on scallops looks good and juicy, however when was served on our table it seems the opposite of the adds, scallops are little bit small and dry. Steaks are well prepared and taste so great. Service is outstanding, thank you for the great evening. Ms. Hanna, our host, took care of us. Oh by the way the music is great too. Hope I can seat near the band on my next visit.

Outstanding Thanksgiving meal. Great flavors and presentation and very tender Turkey. . Excellent service. We will continue to enjoy Eddie Vs thru the year and I imagine we will return again next Thanksgiving. Best regards Dyanne Routh.

The service was great. First time in Oceanside and I stumbled across this place. The pasta was amazing as well as the gumbo. Being from the south the food gave a comfort feel
