    This place was absolutely fabulous! From the valet to the servers….wonderful service all the way around. Not to mention the food, it was delicious! We will definitely be back, and by that time I hope they have a NZ Sauvignon Blanc on their menu (pairs so nicely with the red snapper) ;)

    Another great evening at the bustling Galleria area Balboa Surf Club. An enjoyable dining experience was ensured by the attention from our Server, Sage. Our group, including several first-time Balboa visitors, tried...and loved, various appetizers with each then ordering separate main-fare choices. Each dinner was rated as outstanding. We also enjoyed a nice Balboa related discussion with a Manager "checking on our table" while she was assisting Servers.

    Had the burrata salad and spicy gemelli, really delicious! They had great service, lighting& ambience. I feel a lot of restaurants don’t have the right lighting which can be very off putting. Will be coming back!

    Overall this is a nice place with a diverse menu and great service. Everyone is friendly and my waitress was excellent, way to give great customer service Charly. The ambience is also amazing and based on where you sit; as for as upstairs, downstairs, outside, bar or barn. They have a space that is just right for every occasion and it almost feels like you stepped into a different place. You just can not go wrong at the beautiful establishment.
