    The food was amazing and our server was friendly and kind. We sat in the patio section where we had clear view of the beach. Our sever was very attentive to us and also gave us many recommendations from the menu. The only complain I will give is about the alcoholic beverages. We ordered two and they were not that great. Mine tasted like juice and my partners was extremely sour. Overall I will definitely be back! Amazing place

    Four of us went on a Sunday at 5 and were very happy with the experience. We had great service and the food was very delicious. This place is a hidden gem. We had veal, fish, scallops and pasta. All were great.

    We are a clearly visible lesbian and we were treated like any other couple and it was very reassuring and we felt safe and comfortable. We had a wonderful waitress who was very attentive and funny and even said we were a cute couple! I’ve been eating at Burlock Coast for a few years now with my family and now my partner and it’s always a positive experience.

    Our reservation was for 9:15, as that was the 1st available slot when i went on Open Table to find a restaurant. We arrived at 7:50 and requested early seating and went to the bar, but it was very small and packed. BUT, the W has a great lobby bar and we enjoyed our time until dinner. Our waiter was one of the best service persons we have ever had. He recommended that the chef slice our filet, which we shared the mid-sized portion. If you come here, ask for Enrique !!
