   This is my review for the Thanksgiving buffet that I took my family too only. The ambience and buffet layout were very nice. The cost was 70.00 per person. The beers were 13.00 for a 20 oz and they were selling cocktails for between 15.00 and 20.00 and trying to get you to buy the special Holiday cup for another 20.00 to 25.00. Overall I think the place is overpriced. And on top of that they add a surcharge to the bill of 5% and on top of that you gotta pay extra for the tip. I went with 1 adult and 2 kids and we all were charged the same rate of 70.00 a person. The bill came out to $330.00 i left the tip in cash. I will not be going back there. The buffet was good and the guys taking care of it were pretty nice and generous. But those prices and asking for a Surcharge.... No Thank you.

   I reserve my table online more than 3 weeks in advance I was told by the reservation that the all you could eat buffet was $70 apparently that is not the price. The price is $75 plus a service fee that was also not mentioned. I arrived at the restaurant at the said time of my reservation had even checked in with the hostess and still people who walked in off of the street with no reservation that day were seated before I was seated. I finally was seated then had to move because the table was already taken so then I was reasted at another table and I don't know if because of all that confusion did the wait staff didn't know that I hadn't already been taking care of after watching a waiter bring beverages to multiple tables I finally had to flag them down to get them to take the drink order for my table. Yes I understand these people are willing to work on holidays and they would probably rather not be there they'd probably rather be elsewhere Yes understand but if you're there you need to be professional You need to provide good service The service was very very lacking Short of having to stand up and say I needed service at the table It was very hard to get the server to come over and address the needs of the table That to me is not professional not even close and these people work for tips they work to get extra money for the service that they provide I don't know how I can give them 18% gratuity of my hard-earned money when they are not working to provide the service for me That makes no sense to me at all. The food was exceptional I have never not had a problem with the food tasting wonderful at this restaurant I have however had problems with the wait staff more than once so I don't know if it's that they have a hard time hiring people that actually want to work there or they just in general are bad at being wait personal. Just know that if you go you may not get good service at your table.

   Our experience at Draft was drab. The waitress acted as though she didn't want to work that night. It took forever to get someone to take our order. I had to signal for a busboy to find our waitress and when she came, she didn't apologize for the wait nor was she friendly. We ordered fried pickles as an appetizer and batter was fried so hard it was eating it. I ordered 5he salmon which was delicious along with the broccolini but the crispy potatoes were soggy. Now good. My husband stated his burger was cold but the fries were good. I made this reservation on Open Table from NC to really enjoy a good meal on the beach for vacation in San Diego. Very disappointing, indeed.

   It's hard to argue with an oceanside view from a patio table. We had 4 people in our party. The drinks were good. Our 4 different meals ranged from fair to good, but certainly nothing special. We shared two very skinny pieces of delicious, but ridiculously overpriced cake. The overall experience was nice because of the ocean. The meal was nothing to make us want to come back again.

   Very good vibe and the food was good. The service was a bit slow but it was a popular time of day (Friday at noon). We look forward to returning here again! 😁

   Ambiance can’t beat it, love the ocean views. Took them 20 minutes and 2 trips to hostess station to get a server to acknowledge us. Food was ok but quite greasy, multiple sodas delivered that were out of syrup, etc. Hostess was nice, server was indifferent.

   Slow service not friendly, lacking personality food just mediocre being down at the beach on the boardwalk is definitely fun. Too bad. The overall experience was disappointing. I will stick to going upstairs to cannonball.

   Hostess forgot we had reservation and when we did get seated, one of the chairs was dirty and wet. Wife sat in it and when I mentioned to hostess, she said “what do you want me to do about it”. I said how about cleaning it. Pretty rude on part of hostess. The seat was never cleaned so instead had to replace chair on my own. Server on the other hand was nice and friendly.

   Such a cool place during summer with a nice beach view. Service was 10/10, drinks were really good, and food was tasty.

    Fantastic service, good drinks and oceanfront views. I loved taking friends from out of town here for dinner and sunsets.
