    Delicious food and drinks and great ambience. Made reservation through open table for table for 2-S, and mentioned that we were celebrating a birthday. When we got there, the host proceeded to seat us by the bar in high top table. My husband told the host it was my birthday and would prefer to be seated in the back. Host mentioned there was a large group coming and might be a little noisy. Host went to asked someone then she came back and we were able to get seated in the back. The whole dinner experience was perfect-it was cozy and warm (it was 32 degrees). The large group didn’t arrived until we had our dessert. I would recommend this to try and would definitely go back. Take note, it’s not a large restaurant-perfect for Quiet night , date night

    This was our 1st time dining at South Bay. The food was excellent. We had thelollipop lamb chops for an appetizer and they were delicious. The main courses were superior. Drinks were excellent. Price was extremely reasonable and the service was superb. I would definitely dine here again

    Everything about this experience was AMAZING. The food was delicious and the service was prompt and professional. If you have an open pallet and few coins- this is a spot to try. You are downtown- so noise level may vary based on the time of day you visit. Regardless- you won’t regret it

    Food was fantastic - creative options, everything was delicious and well seasoned. Service was also great and attentive. We went right after a show at the Shubert which was also right before a later show so they had both crowds. They were well staffed and ready to go!
