    We celebrated my wife’s birthday by booking a reservation for Sunday early evening at 5 p.m. This timing worked out great for us, because the restaurant was not busy and no one was seated near us. We were given the table for two right on the water. We split the beet salad which was excellent and plenty of food for two. My wife had the halibut, which was exquisite. I had the lobster tail, which was excellent. The sommelier basically gave us 2 for 1 glasses of a French white burgundy. Before dinner we each had one cocktail which both did not chintz on the alcohol content. We were given a free tiny appetizer and a free birthday dessert with two complimentary glasses of champagne. Everything was delicious. The servers worked together to provide just the right amount of attention. It was truly a fine dining experience in every sense of the word. We will return for special occasions.

    Jolie in Huntington Beach is an absolute gem! The view is stunning, especially during sunset—such a perfect backdrop for a relaxing evening. We were lucky to make it in time for happy hour, and the food did not disappoint—everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our server was fantastic, taking the time to walk us through the menu and offer recommendations that turned out to be spot on. The combination of great service, delicious food, and breathtaking views makes Jolie a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

    Rusty Pelican never disappoints! Thank you to our extraordinary waiter, Joseph. He was attentive and thoughtful. We were chilled sitting inside, and he brought my guest and me blankets! Outstanding food as always. The Alaskan halibut on a bed of mashed potatoes was delicious! Cold, fresh crisp salad was excellent as well. Thank you Joseph for your high quality service! We will be back!

    We really enjoy Henry’s. Great service. Excellent music. But not too loud. We are local and try to go there every couple of months or so. One attraction for us is that they allow our dog to be there in her stroller. On the patio. And they treat Snowey very well. The food quality is top notch. My wife and I shared the oysters, each had a cup of the pumpkin bisque, the crab stuffed sole and had the butter cake for dessert. All were excellent.
