Customer Review Summary

The restaurant 2nd Floor has a lively and fun atmosphere, ideal for socializing, with a mix of music and art on display. The all-you-can-eat (AYCE) prime rib special on Mondays draws a crowd, but many reviews indicate the quality varies, with initial servings being decent but subsequent portions being tough, dry, and fatty. Service is generally praised as quick and attentive, although some diners noted lapses like forgotten condiments. The bar offers a variety of drinks, and the pricing seems reasonable. Other menu items, like the mac & cheese and breakfast options, received positive feedback. Despite the mixed reviews on the AYCE prime rib, diners appreciate the overall vibe and are open to returning for other specials like fish and chips or cocktails. Some guests recommend patience during busy periods to enjoy the experience fully.

Monday we arrived at 5:40 PM for ayce prime rib $20. The place was packed with people dining on prime rib. The cute hostess was very busy and quick, told us 1 hour wait, 19 parties ahead of us, 3 with 9 people, about 20 people waiting in and outside. The place is a hip bar, lively with some music and arts on walls. 6 tables were outside on balcony. The bar had seats, people were eating there. The meat looked good and pink. I bought an IPA for $9 while waiting. Beers start at $5, various mixed drinks $13. After 32 minutes we got text they were ready, got seated and ordered. 5 young girls worked the tables, very busy, quick and pleasant. Food came out pretty quick. The plate had a slab of pink prime rib and a glob of mash potato, no au jus. She forgot to bring condiments, had to be reminded. The meat was cooked to medium rare, had big globs of fat with lots of grizzles, way too tough to cut through and chew, including the top cap, pretty dry and tasteless without jus. I left about 1/3 of the plate, grizzles and fat, and did not want to order another serving. This prime rib is nowhere as tasty and tender like $20 prime rib in Las Vegas. This bar is a fun place to meet friends, drink, watch sports. Wait staff works hard, professional and courteous. Will come back to try their fish and chip special on a Friday.

DONT BE DECEIVED, Monday all you can eat prime rib is a scam. The first serving is a nice cut, whereas the following servings are of really low and poor quality. They gave us the excuse of “supplies are running low” when it was only 7pm. I have attached photos of the gross end cut they gave us after the first serving.

Immediately the server was so sweet and chill. Super attentive and helpful. Atmosphere was super fun and upbeat. The food is prime rib AYCEEEEEEE, and it's actually just charge you $20 without being charged bs fees. 10/10 come back for more.

I decided to check out this restaurant for myself because I saw that I don’t Instagram. I had the mac & cheese and the garlic bread for lunch and the mac & cheese was tasty and cheesy. It also had some bacon the service was great. Thewaitress was Sahara and she did a great job. They also had some beach beverages for seven dollars on special this place also has a huge art gallery where you can either showcase your art or you can buy the art. Really close to the pier so after lunch lunch dinner or a couple of drinks it’s a really nice walk on the pier also I took some pictures and videos. I hope you guys enjoy.

A great place to chill and enjoy dinner and a cocktails or a michelada. Special all you can eat nights are what sets this bar & grill apart. Food quality is amazing. Prime rib night is a real deal as is Friday fish & chips night. Service is good but they do get busy on the all you can eat nights so be patient. PS, don't be a cheapskate. Buy a couple of cocktails or a few beers with your meal deal.

Nice upstairs bar for hanging out, day/night drinking and they have weekday specials that are ayce which is why it does get super crowded. The bar area is open but for the tables inside and outside you need to wait to get seated. Lots of activities around this area so get a good pound table for people watching.

New to the area. Saw the IG post about AYCE so decided to check it out. I definitely don’t recommend AYCE. Came in on a Friday for the fish n chips. Good portions, but fries were undercooked and the fish was overly battered. There was hardly any fish in there, so you pay $20 for an order of fries. We didn’t end up getting another helping because we were never asked, but bartender had no problem asking us to close our tab with her at shift change. The draft beers tasted fresh, music was good and the aesthetics of the place were nice. Def won’t be a regular here.
