Rachel was super sweet and very helpful and attentive, the crew here was kind and friendly willing to help even if we weren't there table. 5/5The beet salad was definitely shareable dressing was alittle tart for my taste, but fresh, and beets cooked perfect. 4/5The crispy calamari filled its plate and the aoili was yummy. 5/5The fish and chips were ok, battered nicely but catfish a bit soft and mushy for my taste, however, we really enjoyed the fritz 3/5Ambiance is kept dim, but warm for 815pm. 🙌🏽

The location, atmosphere, and service were all great. I thought the Mahi in my tacos was cooked well and very tasty, but the sauce on top was way too sweet for my taste. The chicken in our salad was dry and overdone. Also, the chocolate lava cake was really just a dry, semi-stale chocolate cake with a layer of chocolate syrup on top- not really what I expected from the name.Still definitely glad we ate here, and I think a few modifications would have made the meal great.

Overall it was ok. Our waiter was friendly but the service was slow. We ordered the the steak frites and Mahi taco. The steak was good, but they forgot the Sriracha aioli on the taco.The beer battered fries are very good. Definitely recommended.For wine they have a $15 corkage fee which is waived for local wines.

Most restaurants are booked months in advance for Mother’s Day - we had not planned anything. The hostess was most accommodating and seated us immediately. The menu was fixed and had many choices. The caprese salad was delicious. My friends chose the halibut it was a very generous portion. My entree was a veggie frittata a little too well done for my taste yet very tasty. I would return on a regular say to check out the normal menu.

We enjoyed a delicious meal of moist, fresh crab cakes and the most delicious burger!! 🍔 The meat was tender and cooked to perfection, with crisp vegetables and the most tasty house dressing. We loved the friendly environment and how welcome dogs were there. The view of the beach is incredible from the front of the restaurant. I highly recommend you check them out next time you visit Avila!

The view is the best part of the experience. Do not go if you want to have good service or want to have a timely dinner. Our glasses were empty the entire dinner, tables were served their dinner that were sat 30 minutes after us. We did not get our clam chowder until after dinner was served. And the food wasn’t worth half the price we paid. Go to the Custom House if you want great food and great service. This experience was not pleasant and not good food. We sat for an hour and 40 minutes without getting food

Wow! They have stepped up their menu. We had tried this restaurant in 2016 and it was just ok. Now, they have a new chef and menu, it is delicious!We could not beleive how good the clam chowder was. It was the best out of New England I have ever had.The fried calamri was also good. The scallops with pork belly were seasoned and cooked to perfection.

Food was delicious and service was great. The appetizer with brussels sprouts (crispy brussels sprouts) was far above our expectations and so were my wife's salad and my ribeye steak. The food did not have excessive salt or oils/fat, just as we like it.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

Seasoning and flavors are bit weird, especially for an oceanside seafood restaurant. Everything is too strong on acidity and sweetness, lacking a bit of saltiness, which is so weird for seafood because they are naturally salty. Texture of the food is good though, crispy and tenderness feel right

Servers were attentive but not over bearing.Excellent selection of local wine.In our opinion, the Ocean Grill Fettuccini was superb , exceeding the Glazed Salmon.The creme brûlée was a refreshingly sweet way to end the evening👍🏼

Great views, great staff, and excellent food. I had brick oven pizza and salad, both were superb. The atmosphere is beach casual and it is fun to sit and watch the people walk by and the ocean waves crash to shore from just across the street. Recommended.

Great service and food was exceptional! The diver scallops and pork belly are fabulous and a MUST HAVE! The mussels were flavorful and remember to ask for more bread to soak up the broth.

Cold brew...blood Orange was perfect for the beach atmosphere. The calamari was perfect. Two dipping sauces. The spicey chili was nice a little better than the lime option. Back for more...gonna try the flatbread in their own brick oven.

Great little spot in Avila Beach for lunch. Both the food and the service were great! It’s right on the water and there are some great views of the ocean on the patio.

We came early for dinner (5pm) a Friday, the restaurant was more than half empty. this may make our experience completely different from yours. However this restaurant is worth a visit!FOOD: 4/5We ordered all appetizers and 1 flat bread. Main course seemed pretty average - you know, scallop, salmon and other usual seaside fares - so we decided to go for something that seemed more unique to this place. All appertizers were good, especially the brussel sprouts and pork ribs!SERVICE: 5/5Food came out super fast. And the waiter was very polite too - he brought out a set of wet napkins for us to wipe our hands on after seafood.DECOR, VIEW: 4/5It’s next to the sea so you get really pretty view of the sunset on the beach. The decor inside is also very hip - awesome for date nights. However all indoor seating though, so not ideal for those who want the open air. We did see ONE TABLE right outside on the pavement...awkward...

Ocean Grill...Ocean Gross. My husband and I stayed at the Inn at the Avila, they recommended this restaurant as they were offering a 10% discount to hotel guests. So we went, put our names down for a 1 hr wait, as the kitchen was swamped. So we waited, got sat. I ordered the ceasar salad and the four cheese ravioli. My husband order the pepperoni pizza. We were served bread and oil while we waited. The oil and vinegar was served with minced shallots...I've never seen this before, but the last thing I want to dip my bread in is onion. And the bread was a little moist, probably given to our proximity to the water, so this I can't really hold against them. But I can say that the restaurant should take more steps in filtering their tap water. It was bad tasting tap. My zero filter does a better job on my tap and I live in the central valley.The food arrives and I stumped. I have never been served a char-broiled split romain lettuce before, and let me tell you...there's a reason why...putting lettuce on heat wilts it...so no, this is no good. Plus it was hard to cut into. I was wanting a refreshing salad, and so, I actually had to send this one back. My husband's pizza had about 75-100 slices of pepperoni on the pizza and left it beyond greasy to where my husband could only eat one slice, took the rest home just to throw it away...we should have sent this back too. And finally, my gluten-free cheese ravioli: 6 medium ravioli pieces, covered in a white sauce, and filled with mushrooms and tomatoes. For the price, you can tell these were not homemade and should have been....I should have sent everything back and left. But we didn't, we paid our $45 tab, no discount, and left.Although we didn't order any seafood items, I can only assume their seafood is lackluster, as most people know, perfecting land and sea is far more difficult than nailing salad and pizza. Therefore, if you want a long wait, burnt salad, and to burn your money, dine here.Side note, a little birdie in town told me that the new owners are out of town owners and are not in touch with the local culture. Perhaps this is why they don't have a pulse on what's happening with their restaurant.

Surrounded by a majestic view of Avila beach and bay. It's a little higher up from the other restaurants which provides a better view. The host was very pleasant and we were served water without having to ask. Waiter was very nice and helpful. Food is DELICIOUS!

I assume the owner is different now, it was our favorite restaurant before, now I will not get back there. they do not serve pizza. The fried calamari was nothing like before. It was nice gourmet coating with sweet -spicy sauce and white sauce. Now, it’s not even delightful for your eyes, taste is bland, just one white bland sauce. My fish tacos were spicy, however it was not mentioned in the menu. The clam chowder was disgusting, smelled and tasted like a powder soup! The Cesar salad, did not have any croutons, instead they brought 2 dry toast, we could not even bite it, not mentioning of eating and chewing it, you ll brake your teeth. Very dissatisfied. It needs a big change! Service was slow.

We were a group of 6 and enjoyed our lunch at the ocean grill.The placed was fully booked and so we had to wait 30 min to get a table. You will find worse places to wait 🙃The waitress was friendly and we got our drinks and food very fast. We had Fish&Chips, Burger, Pizza and Salat. Everyone was more than happy!
