Our family went here for Easter Brunch. It was a Nightmare. When we got to made to order omlette station there was only 1 person trying to make omlettes and also waffles so it took forever. When we got to our table with food, there was no silverware and didn't get any for 20 min. by then our food was... More

I don't like seafood, but this was our only choice until our ride arrived. And, I was starved because my stomach was still on east coast time. I ordered the Bay Burger and we ate outside. It would have been delicious even if I wasn't starving. We had a great view of the marina and some good people watching. The... More

You can get coupons for this place in the mail to drop you bill about $10-$20. This place can get expensive but if you dine here with a coupon and during the nights they have specials it will not cost an arm and a leg. The last time we were there, the bar was being renovated. I believe some parts... More

I was worried about this place by the bad reviews, but the service and food were very good. The bread, salad, soup, fish entrees, and dessert were all above average. The place was not very busy, but all the staff were very attentive. Drinks were refilled promptly. The manager stopped by at the end of the meal and checked that... More

We only went to this place because a friend invited us to brunch to celebrate his daughter's birthday. This location has been inhabited by at least 5 different restaurants in the past 12 years. Unfortunately, they still haven't gotten it right. The inside has never changed, and it's not horrible, but it could use a facelift. We decided to sit... More

My husband and I went to the SBF&G restaurant last week for dinner (December 2011). This place looks nice, but don't be fooled. We were the only people in the dining room for about half an hour, before two other couples came in. The solitary dining experience should have been our first clue that something was wrong. We ordered the... More

We had lunch here in the early afternoon and enjoyed it very much. The restaurant was not crowded and the lunch was delicious. The place was quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed the view very much. The marina was filled with sailboats and most of them were very colorful. This is a nice place in which to have lunch when... More

My wife and I went to South Bay Fish and Grill because it was her Birthday. We were seated promptly and we had a real nice table near the window. The steak I had was so so nothing to really get excited about., but the view was really nice. Little did I know there was a Rock& Roll band in... More

STAY AWAY! Last night was the third and LAST time I will eat at South Bay Fish and Grill. Over four years, I have tried them three times. NEVER AGAIN! After a great day of sailing with friends, two that were from out of town, we all wanted to have dinner. Originally we were headed for The Galley, but the... More

All we wanted was some lobster. We went to this place because they advertised "Lobster Tuesday" and wanted to see what that was about. From the bread to the entre it was a disaster. 1. Bread (sour dough) was under cooked - it was literally doughy in the middle. The waitress brought another basket and this time it was browner... More
