"LOVE this spot. But very disappointed in the food and service this visit. The menu was cut back to a only offering a few items, which seemed odd. Ordered chips and guacamole and the order came with salsa only, no guacamole. The waiter said nothing. When we asked for the guacamole, he said oh the kitchen just told us they are out. So we paid $16 for salsa and chips. 3 people ordered the Chicken sandwich which was the thinnest piece of chicken we have ever seen. Both swordfish and carne asada tacos were flavorless. I hate to write this review as we LOVE Nelson’s and Terranea, but felt this was worth calling out."

The location is stunning, and my server Megan was lovely. The fish was cooked to perfection, but the French fries were served lukewarm. View menu

The staff was outstanding, and I want to give a special shoutout to Kayla. They made our table for four adults and two energetic children very comfortable.

The food is overpriced because you're really paying for the stunning views. While the food is good, it still feels like you're overpaying for what it is. The service was decent, but we had to ask for things several times before receiving them.

"My food tasted very, very mid... Actually, make that slightly better than mid . Before I dive into my statement above, the one positive from my experience dining there, the service was good. Our server managed to keep our party of 10 or so people together, they were able to accommodate the various substitutions several people in my party had, they were able to successfully manage a wrong order, and they would frequently go around, ask us how we were doing, and fill our waters. No complaints there, the staff were wonderful. They 're the reason why I 'm not rating my review lower than 3 stars. With that being said, I ordered a Bacon Chipotle Chicken sandwich. I like my food with bold flavors, and so that specific sandwich appealed to me since chipotle is a pretty strong and bold flavor already. When I got the sandwich, I took a bite out of it, and the first taste that hit me was the nuttiness of the whole wheat buns. Took another bite out of it, I got just a little bit of the pepperiness and savoriness from the bacon. Took a 3rd bite out of it, same flavor profile as my first two bites. Took a 4th bite out of it, I get absolutely nothing else. The sandwich was so bland, the bread was the most flavorful thing on that sandwich. In addition, the chicken patty, on top of being a bit overcooked and rubbery, had absolutely zero seasoning. I tasted absolutely no chipotle seasoning or sauce on that chicken, not even black pepper. I had to douse the chicken in hot sauce (tapatío, if I remember correctly) just to taste something other the taste of wheat bread. This was not a chipotle chicken sandwich, it was more like a tapatío and bread sandwich. At a price point of almost $17, I 'm pretty sure I can make a much more flavorful bacon chipotle chicken sandwich at home for a fraction of that price. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing. I seem to get the impression reading these reviews that the breakfast items tend to be a bit better, so maybe I should come back and try something else. At the same time, especially after eating something so bland, I don 't think I have much of an excuse to do so."
