    We had two of four bad meals. The sea bass was suppose to be crispy and it was simply overly fried and was chewy. The tacos and the shrimp pasta was good but when two very expensive meals are bad, you rethink going back. Desert was good as were the drinks but the noise level made it hard to talk at all.

    Fresh, amazing food, amazing service and ambiance. Would unfortunately give our colonials a B- so couldn't give it too stars! Pricey but worth the experience!

    The service was outstanding and the food was great for our celebration. Server was flexible on drink order and provides great advice on menu items. We will be back! I found the Brussels sprrouts to be over seasoned.

    It took 25 minutes from the time we placed our drink order (a glass of wine and a beer) to receive it at the table. 🙁

    We have enjoyed SoCal in the past and much more when it was Del Mar. Service was good and drinks were tasty but the food was meh! The tacos have a hard shell, 1970 called and wants their Old El Paso back, and the potato bread was WAY too big and a strange combo of flavors. We might visit for a drink but will not be back to dine!
