Restaurants near Thousand Steps Beach

This was our first time at Salt Creek Grille. The food and drinks are excellent. We did have one of our drinks come out not tasting that good and once asking the server she gladly went and had another made without a smile on her face which is amazing. Cory the server had made great recommendations and was a pleasure to have as our server. Top notch service.

This is a great restaurant. From the moment we walked in and were greeted with very kind friendly people to the awesome waiter, the delicious food and the beautiful view. We came when it was already dark and wish we would have come a bit earlier to see it during the day! My husband and I split the halibut and wasn’t sure when we first looked at it. It was in a lot of red sauce but the first bite was so so good and I’m so glad we got that fish! All the other meals looked great too. We came with a large group, needing two tables and they worked very hard to put us right together. I would definitely come again!

We love Starfish! Having said that, the last time we were there the food, which usually is great, wasn’t. Tonight, they were BACK!!! Every dish and cocktail we ordered was over the top yummy!! The edamame was garlicky and spicy and fresh and super tasty. We also ordered the calamari, the Bah Mi sliders, the lettuce wraps, the Korean tacos, pot stickers and the satay beef skewers. Each dish was 8 thumbs up!!! (There were 4 of us). The place was super busy too but our server was spot on!

Very happy I chose Coastal Kitchen to bring my son and his family for our Christmas celebration. They had never been here and raved about the food! Entrees ordered were the ahi salad, the ahi entree, pork chop (it was huge!), ribs, and my personal favorite, the salmon. All were delicious! And, of course, we had to order the key lime pie--better than Tommy Bahamas; the crust is amazing!

Food is excellent as always. Truly pizza may truly have the best pizza in OC if not SoCal. Service is great. All the servers are so nice and accommodating. The price point is also fairly decent. Cocktails are good, and the ambience is very cozy.
