★★★★☆ 4.0 J Gonzalez · Dec 2025

Great vibe with excellent food and drinks. The setting is beautiful, overlooking the sea and perfect for watching the sunset. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Service was a bit slow, but completely understandable given how busy they were. Overall, a wonderful experience and a place worth visiting again.

Fantastic bar and setting to watch the sunset. Thursdays, 5-7 they have Live Hawaiian music- we were blessed to see Robi Kahakalau- absolutely fantastic professional musician! We had the prime Rib and the blacked Ahi Sandwich- both were delicious and priced well. We also brought our own bottle of wine and paid the cork fee of $25. Well worth it as my wife could have the wine she wanted with dinner. We have been coming here since 2010 and always have a great experience. And their Happy hour is fantastic too!

We didn't eat on this visit, just had cocktails. They were excellent, the view is great and our server was amazing. The food that went by our table looked great and we heard customers saying it was very good.

Went for a late dinner without reservations. We were seated in 5 minutes. The waitress Lacy was excellent! She took our order by memory and it was perfect. We ordered the avocado bacon burger and the PO sandwich with salad and waffle fries. The food came quickly. The fries were hot and crispy and the burger was perfect. The salad was good and better than average side salads. The PHO prime rib french dip sandwich was THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER EATEN! I eat out a lot and have a taste for everything. I am not joking about this thing. It's like those Vietnamese chicken sandwiches that you get at pho restaurants but it's made with prime rib roast beef. It has cilantro and pickled cabbage on it with a few Jalapenos... The dipping sauce has such a perfect complex flavor I can't describe the epicn

I am very disappointed in the performance of today's team at Don the Beachcomber. My disabled mother and her caretaker waited for an hour for a prime rib plate and burger with the restaurant at 1/4 capacity. Food was sent out room temperature with the prime rib completely rare and 25 percent rubbery fat (not rendered). Extremely soggy sweet potatoes fries were sent and inedible. One of the sides was supposed to be a pop-over for which we waited again for an additional 10 minutes. Eventually the waiter said they were in the oven and brought out 2 dinner rolls. When asked for butter my disabled mother received 2 (frozen solid) butter pads. The burger came out cold and over cooked (figure that one out) and all of this to the tune of 85.00. The waiter (Desmond) seemed indifferent and short, an
