As we were escorted to our table we were able to admire fresh fish and beautiful cuts of steak. We were promptly seated and provided menus. Our waiter was informative, and dealt with several trips back and forth till we were ready to choose our food. There were some delays in our ultimate order placement, and from the appetizers to the entrees. This may have been impacted by a very large group seated some time after us. We decided to try both calamari appetizers and all enjoyed the dragon version, more mixed reviews on the standard breaded version. Some found the latter batter a bit heavy. There was a small cup of dip for this, could have been more generous to match the generous amount of calamari. Most of us tried the tasting menu with good success including a large ceviche portion, ceasar salads and good sized fish servings (sea bass, snapper) and a huge bowl of ciopinno. One person opted for steak which was another large portion. The lobster bisque was creamy though a bit of sweetness and unclear lobster input. My chopped salad was also quite generous and nicely dressed. Desserts were the flourless chocolate cake, also sizeable servings and a small creme brulee with fresh berries. Wine list was decent depth, though mostly higher price range. Overall a good, not amazing experience.Napalovers,Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Came here for dinner on Friday night. We were greeted and seated straight away. Waitress was friendly and efficient. Ordered the Burnt ends for starters which was a bit disappointing, the meat was overcooked, also had the 2 meat combo platter of brisket and sausage, the meats on the platter were cooked well, we had mac n cheese as our first side which was delicious and then had bbq beans which was disappointing very watery and not much flavour.

We had a concert at the Honda center and this restaurant is directly across the street and was next to our hotel. The food was good - we had a French dip and a burger. I liked the sauces for the sandwich and the sweet potato fries. Besides location, the cocktails and the service were excellent. Even though they were swamped the servers were attentive and professional. The patio was great. We sat at the fire pit after the concert and had the beer pretzel with more cocktails. The pretzel was perfect! Fun spot for both before and after an event.

Had a great dinner at Karl Strauss Brewery which is located across from Angel Stadium. The mac and cheese was the big treat for everyone who had it and burgers are super! When you gave a special server, you want to call him out, so we included Brandon in his photo bomb! I donât mean to leave the beer selections for last because we ended up taking a can back to our RV for the trip home. Delicious, and a lot of different kinds of beer selections were tried and enjoyed, if you know what I mean.This review made our day! We can't wait to share with Brandon. Thanks for being a fan of Karl! Cheers!

After reading all reviews, I had very high expectations about this place. Service was fast and waitress kind, food came out quickly, prob too quickly. Meat was ok but nothing really special, the sauce was very tasty. Overall good but could have been better.
