Dear Chef, please learn to get your orders right! We ordered a steak Medium done, and it arrived still bloody without the sauces, I also received my burger without the extra topping (I eventually got the topping). We asked if they could have the steak done Medium, the waiter took the plate and returned a couple minutes later with the meat taken off and just the fries and veggies, letting us know 'here is this until the meat gets done'. By the way some of the fries were soaked with blood... We eventually got the steak a little bit more cooked, but I could still see blood, my husband ate it anyway. It also took a really long time for them to actually take our orders, and then after we got our food we were waiting for them to bring our check a really long time too. I understand the place was busy, but it felt like there was really bad management or no management at all and everything was just kind of out of place. Apart from the bloody steak, food was okay. My burger patty was thin, dry and not juicy / tasty at all.

Brand new - (formerly West Bay Cafe) fast food, walk-up-to-counter style - King's Fish House's sister restaurant. Horrible, Awful, too pricey for this kind of food. They will need to polish up, everything.

Fish Camp did not disappoint. We expected well prepared, impeccably prepared, and we got it. We ordered a dinner for carryout. The fresh tuna was the best, and the shrimp were fine. We chose cheese grits and slaw as sides and they were both good accompaniments. Even the sourdough bread was delicious.

I decided on the Seafood combo. Excellent selection. The decor was as it was in the 1950s. Rubyâs even had on the television set, Merry Melodies from the time. One of my personal favorites. The service was wonderful, and not much of a wait for our food.

Staying on property, we ate here many times during our stay. Every meal was delicious. Fish Tacos, Poke Bowl, and In the Barrel main dish meals, as well as Green Beans Fries and Calamari appetizers were excellent - all fresh and flavorful. Servers and hosts were accommodating and attentive.

Food was good/average, service was really good & friendly, but the music (during lunch hour) was much too loud. We could hardly have a conversation at our table. Others noticed the loud music, too, and requested that the DJ turn the volume down... but he wouldn't. Our ears were ringing by the time we left the restaurant.

My Husband and I took a friend to happy hour. We sit at the bar and enjoy the atmosphere. I tried the Stuffed Mushrooms and now I have a new favorite. My Husband ordered the Prime Rib Quesadilla rare and he loved it and so do I. It is a real bargain at $18.75. My friend ordered Ceviche and she was very impressed. Joe was our Bartender and he is really great! My favorite Happy Hour spot!

You can't beat the location and ambiance by dining on the sidewalk and watching the classic cars drive by. The staff is great here but the food needs some improvement. We ordered the veggie omelet, sour dough bread, and raisin bread french toast. I can judge food by my first bite and the food just wasn't fabulous here. It wasn't terrible it just wasn't delicious.

A large group of us went here for dinner and we were not disappointed! From the Parmesan truffle fries to the salmon sandwich, everything was fresh and tasty. I would eat here again and again. My only complaint was that the restaurant was hot until they turned on the AC. But once they did, everything was great.
