I made a 5:30 reservation for two on a Thursday evening, hoping it wouldn't be too crowded. The parking lot is undergoing renovation, and traffic flow is constricted. Once parked, you walk on some temporary surfaces to reach the outdoor check-in counter. At 5:30 there was already a short line there. We were shown to a small two-top in a busy foot traffic area. I said no thanks, how about a booth? No booths available for two. So, we sat at the bar, facing the ocean. Lovely view, and attentive service from Ivan and Carlos behind the bar. We started with two tasty margaritas, then ordered guacamole and chips. Both were house-made and very good. My wife ordered chile verde for her main. I ordered pan-roasted sea bass, served with sauteed veggies and house-made mashed potatoes. Both plates were very good, with generous portions. Prices, including cocktails, are fair for the upscale surroundings. The restaurant continued to fill up and the noise level grew with it. There are no sound-absorbing surfaces, so it gets noisy. It's clearly not the best choice for an intimate conversation or business talks. That said, we enjoyed our visit, and we'll be back.","rating":{"food":4,"service":4,"ambience":4,"value":3,"noise":"ENERGETIC","overall":4,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":49,"nickname":"Mark","metro":{"metroId":496,"displayName":"Orange County","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"M","isVip":true,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"ICECREAM","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2025-04-27T20:49:30Z","dinedDateTime":"2025-04-24T17:30:00-07:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"}],"totalPages":53,"page":1,"totalCount":530,"__typename":"ReviewSearchResults"},"reviewHelpfulnessVotes":[],"sortBy":"newestReview","isLoading":false,"prioritiseUserLanguage":false,"searchTerm":"","error":false},"availabilityToken":null,"noAvailabilityList":null,"multiDayAvailabilityModalOpen":false,"showDiningReward":false,"initialDTPDate":null,"initialDTPTime":null,"initialDTPPartySize":null,"fetchAvailabilityOnLoad":false,"findATableLoadingStateOverride":true,"pointRedemptionRewards":null,"privateDining":{},"activeTab":"overview","disableFPC":true,"restaurantHighlights":{"staff":null,"missionStatement":null},"pageAnchor":null},"wallet":{"isPaymentLoading":false,"singleUseCard":null,"savedCards":[],"selectedPaymentCardId":null,"showAddPaymentsMethodModal":false,"showConfirmDeleteModal":false,"cardIdForDeletion":null,"paymentCardTokenToSaveAfterLogin":null,"errorCode":null,"showPaymentMethodSavedToast":null,"showPaymentMethodRemovedToast":null,"networkError":null,"partialErrors":[]}},"__OT_NEW_SESSION_START__":false,"__EXCLUDE_ONETRUST__":false,"__EXCLUDE_GA__":false,"__INCLUDE_RECAPTCHA__":false,"__OT_RUM_CONTEXT__":{"deviceType":"desktop","primaryCountry":"ae"},"__OT_GA_DATA__":{"cd2":72,"cd12":"en","cd6":195187,"cd28":195187,"cd13":"Full Web","cd17":"Full Web","cd11":"restprofilepage","cd66":"restaurants","cd63":"restaurant-profile","cd67":"network","cd10":"anonymous","cd7":"Logged Out","cd4":2707,"cd76":2707,"cd3":496,"cd19":496,"cd78":399,"cd5":399,"cd31":"false","cd85":1,"cd84":"GuestCenter","cd15":"network","cd18":"network"}}}
