Worst Buffet

by southbay2

Do not try this restaurant. Worst customer service I've ever been to. The food was not good at all. Try any chinese buffet restaurant instead..The Their non self service station like the ice cream station/ is unbelievable. They will give you a scoop of ice cream in a very tiny container and if you want a second serving then you have to wait in line again just for a tiny ice cream!!. They said it's one serving per trip per person. The place needs general overall cleaning too..

Amazing view, excellent for large parties

by Em2

Stunned by the bad reviews for Khoury's I read! Two year's ago went there for Grandma's 90th and had the small banquet room with about 40 people. The appetizers were delicious, especially the salsa with avocado. Had choice of beef, chicken or fish dinner and all our group enjoyed the meal. Service was very nice. Based on that experience, hosted my daughter's 18th birthday in August 2007 for about 30 people. Same set up but people order from the menu. Again same good food and service. Went to lunch there yesterday. 3 fish tacos for $8.95, delicious and generous portions. My friend had the grilled salmon and enjoyed it. We sat facing the water and the view makes the food even better. I will definitely go back. Service was friendly and attentive. Overall: Three good experiences in a beautiful location.

• Pros: View, room for large parties, value

Run as fast as you can

by surfcitymeg

This place is horrible. I have had the unfortunate pleasure of going to this place twice for Sunday brunch and I will never ever go there again. They pack people in so that you have to ask the people at the next table to move when you want to get up. The waitresses seem to hide in the back because I had to walk up to the bar and get our own drink refills, and then she added on her own 17% tip handwritten on the bottom of the check, They rean out of food, but still charged the same price. The owner of this place was rude and unreasonable when we complained. He told us that we just had to deal with the service. I will never ever go there again and I highly recomend that you go some where else if you want to have a good time.

• Pros: Water front location
• Cons: bad seating, service and food

Do yourself a favor & DO NOT EAT HERE!

by lollysantamonica

6 of us went for dinner. 15 minute wait before server ran by our table saying she'd be right back. I think she came back about 5 minutes later. Before her return the bus person slammed down sea monkey waters & a basket of 4 rolls on our table, no butter. Had to ask twice for more bread & butter. We were then brought white toast, just 4 slices of this thin white delicacy : ( then we got cut up pieces of some kind of rolls that strangely resembled hot dog buns the next time we asked for bread. The dining experience just kept plummeting into the depths of restaurant hell! The food took a long time. Before we even got our food, the staff teased us by placing another table's order on our table in front of us and understandably had to take the meals back and deliver them to their rightful owners! I noticed that the staff kept parading around with plates of food and absolutely no idea where the dinners were to go. I worked in restaurants for 15 years and I have seen it all. This may be the worst I have seen. A restaurant should have some sort of system in place so that the staff knows (at least) what table the food is supposed to go to. The service was bad. And never did the staff communicate what was going on until the end. Something about a big rush but I observed that the "big rush" left before we even ordered. The orders came out all wrong. The staff was inexperienced at best and they seemed to have a SERVICE WITH A BAD ATTITUDE motto, must trickle down from the top...The meals were OVERCOOKED, undercooked with incorrect side dishes. Just plain bad food for the most part too. The garlic mashed potatoes are just sick! They don't even taste of garlic. The manager/owner ? was the worst part of it all. He didn't even apologize or attempt to rectify the situation! I wished him luck with his poor business practices because they will need it.

• Pros: the view
• Cons: everything else
