Phenomal food and service with a view! We waited 45 minutes on a Saturday night because we had no reservations but everything was worth the wait. Clam chowder is an absolute must. We really also enjoyed the fish and chips and chimichurri steak. The steak isn't pre-cut but it was cooked as we stated. Would highly recommend. Also make a reservation first.

I wanted to try a restaurant near walking distance from our inn and stumbled upon Ventana grill. Reservations recommended as it can get quite busy near sunset. We waited about an hour for the room with views of the ocean. Food was decent but not extraordinary. We ordered the burger (lettuce wrapped). It was tiny. We also ordered the moqueta with shrimp and steak. It was tasty. The chicken Chopped salad was okay. The enchiladas was alright and normal fare. Food overall was 3 stars and ambience is 4.

We visited for Sunday brunch and were not disappointed. The selection of food was great and the unlimited mimosas were a winner with us. I would definitely recommend Ventana Grill ! The view was spectacular ! Highly recommend making reservations but did notice they were seating walk ins as well. I will say that the check in process seemed a little disorganized. Can't wait to return whenever in the area again.

What an amazing dinner!!! We stayed at the Shorecliff Hotel and got the restaurant recommended. Even though it was spring break and many tourists like us in the area, we did get a table with little waiting time and really enjoyed the wonderful food and our waitress Maddy. Thank you for the great evening, we‘ll come back next time!

Get the Poke Nachos! This is definitely a place to go if you want to impress with the Vibe, Views and Aesthetic. Also if you have a big group no problem they have huge tables that can accommodate 8-10 people no problem. All of the food is amazing as well! we went with a large group and no one was disappointed. Service also was top notch!
