- HHilarySan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined on 4 Mar 2025Great food, excellent service. The only thing that I wasn't crazy about were the TVs. If you are wanting to watch a sports event while you eat, you'll be pleased, but I was there with my family and couldn't get my kids to quit watching the TVs. Otherwise, everything was great! Really nice and welcome staff, and delicious food and drinks!More infoSandBar Huntington BeachPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Huntington Beach•4.8
- JJoeOrange County •2 reviews4.0Dined on 2 Mar 2025No Happy Ending 😞Service was wonderful by Maria & Oscar who assisted with finding flowers and saving special table by the water for a special date. However, unfortunately the waiter didn’t seem to want to be there or just didn’t care. He was was clearly watching us but no water, no offer for expensive drink re-orders, the bill could have been doubled. ( I needed drinks for the lady 😉) No checking on us, and no desert! Said you were closing. It was around 7pm. I finally had to insist. He wasn’t too happy about that. My lady loves this place and patronizes very often. She was very unhappy & apologetic for waiters service. The food was great! Sea food enchiladas. Sat night 3/1 5pm.More infoHacienda on the LakePrice: Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Mission Viejo / Rancho Santa Margarita•4.4
