I can usually sit here for hours. Several times I have started at brunch & stayed through lunch right into dinner having meals, apps, drinks & desert all the way through the day while the staff accommodates positioning me from area to area as the next meal starts. Drinks & food are always excellent. My lunch server this last visit was Charles, he is excellent & gets 5 stars, unfortunately the dinner server, won't name him, was incredibly Not & gets 0 stars, so he brought down the curve 50%. It's hard to give any restaurant all 3 areas of Food, Service & Atmosphere 5 stars, but, PCG usually gets it from me. Next time, I know they can do it!

Came here with some friends for lunch. The food was incredible, everything was. The calamari may be the best I've had in all of San Diego, it's not rubbery like majority of other places, it's tender and crispy. The crab/lobster club sandwich I had was fantastic, portions are BIG here. Our server Dan was extremely helpful and kind helping direct what we should get. The cocktails are also really good. I came up from La Jolla to have lunch here and I think I'll end up being a regular here, that's how good it is.

The servers were very attentive and extremely sweet, the food was very good and the view was incredible! Drinks and food came out quick. I am very gluten intolerant and ordered from the gluten free menu, I had no issues and did not react to any of the food. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice night out, and anyone with gluten intolerance. It was so refreshing to have such accommodating and caring servers!

Fun classy joint for a STRONG drink. Got a mango mezcal margarita and a black berry margarita. These bad boys had amazing flavors and packed a legit punch to the dome. After getting faded, we tried the Lobster Dumplings. They came in a red wine reduction that was complimentary to the lobster flavor, and they were enough for two people. I had the FRIED Chicken Sandwich. This bad boy had bacon and guacamole packed in. The chicken was tasty and not breaded too much. My brother ordered the Beef sandwich, which he thoroughly enjoyed because of the dipping sauce. Fries are also very tasty with a side of ranch. Great ocean views and nice patio seating available.
