    We were disappointed that we had reserved a table for four in advance and confirmed our reservation and ended up being seated at the communal table in the middle, right up against strangers. I would have appreciated our own table, or at the very least a heads up that reserving a table might seat us at a communal table. Other than that, the food and drinks were good, our server was great, and prices were reasonable.

    Super great experience! The food was amazing. Our server asked if I wanted them to make one of the cocktails into a mocktail for me (I'm super pregnant lol) and that was such a sweet gesture so I didn't feel as left out. Highly recommend to anyone who will listen.

    LOVE Surf Club! My friends were visiting from NY and they loved it. Cocktails were amazing and we had apps, salad, a burger, tacos and EVERYTHING was delish. Service was great & it was a busy Saturday night. Thank you!

    Made a reservation weeks prior, received a phone call stating there is a $20 cover fee. So fine, because it was the St Patty’s Day Parade. Restaurant failed to tell me that there was a “prefix” menu of food children would eat. My group and I spent $140 to choose from, a cheeseburger, garlic fries, chicken tenders and pizza. Never would we have paid money to go and eat subpar food. Five of us ended up ordering a burger and asked if it came with fries. The waiter was stated it did. After she came out with a “basket” of fries that we all needed to pick out of. The whole experience was like going to a food hall. We did not receive utensils, and had to go find napkins at the bar. Huge disappointment. The woman collecting the cover fee at the door was extremely rude, that should’ve been the first warning.

    Solid food with limited menu. Great staff, cool place. For a pub food type dinner it’s a good spot!
