Had a really nice dish. Salmon and their sauces are delish. You get to choose them, so add a couple different ones. Really nicely cooked piece of fish. They have wine and beer. The staff was very friendly and helpful with choosing what to order. Craft sodas available. The brussels were amazing. The sauce was soooo good. They were cooked perfectly too. I will def be back for more! A great to go meal here.

I came here to get my fish and chips fix. Also this month you get the whole month $9.99 for 3 fish and chips. All the staff were nice and pleasant . Shout out to Cierra , Jesus and Dulce. Even the guys at the back they were cheerful. Food was awesome.

I was on a plant based diet this day and was excited that I saw a menu photo on Yelp offering plant based options. Unfortunately when I showed up, the guy said they got rid of that and no longer have that menu.Since I was already here, I opted for side order of avocado corn salsa and Brussels sprouts. My fiancé got clam chowder. Other plant based side options would have been roasted corn, asparagus, green beans, or fries.Bummer I couldn’t try an entree but the sides were filling and satisfying. The Brussels sprouts were actually better than what I’ve had at fancy restaurants. It had the char and perfect glazed and seasoning. The avocado corn salsa was fresh and flavorful. I like the thin crispy chips.Will need to come back another time when I’m on a regular diet.Vegetarian options: Only the side items

Service was great. The cashier friendly and gave me a free chowder because there was a delay in making my food. I got the fish and chips which was pretty average but I was very happy with the portion size. I took home the leftovers and basically had 2 meals for $13 so it's not a bad deal.

My experience at California Fish Grill left me impressed, particularly with their Cajun Fish tacos. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the customer service was commendable. Although I opted for a to-go order, I decided to dine in, which required a brief trip to the counter to collect my meal. However, any minor inconvenience was quickly overshadowed by the delectable flavors awaiting me.The Cajun Fish tacos were a true standout. The fish was expertly seasoned, boasting a perfect balance of spices that tantalized my taste buds with each bite. Accompanied by flavorful side sauces – the Verde and tartar – the tacos offered a delightful combination of tanginess and creaminess that complemented the fish beautifully.One unexpected highlight was the tomatoes, which were remarkably fresh and almost crunchy, adding a refreshing contrast to the tacos. However, the kaleslaw fell slightly short of expectations. While it provided a decent accompaniment, I couldn't help but feel that it lacked a bit of dressing. After all, kale could certainly benefit from a bit of extra flavor!Overall, my dining experience at California Fish Grill was delightful. The exceptional flavors of the Cajun Fish tacos left me eager to return and explore more of their menu offerings. With such high-quality fare and attentive service, I have no doubt that I'll be back to sample more of their tantalizing tacos in the near future.

First off, I was greeted immediately upon arriving at the counter. It was a nice conversation, not your usual "Welcome in" scream from the back. I ordered the swai grilled plate. My friend ordered the Mahi Mahi both were delicious. The lobby was clean and just outstanding service with a smile. I'm coming back for sure!
