Best Waterfront Restaurants in Compton

The staff shines. The food was amazing. We both had filet mignon and baked potatoes. Important to note that the potato was piping HOT - thank you for that, Chart House. (Lukewarm and cold potatoes are never worth eating). Our server Ashleighly (spelling?) was so attentive, kind, efficient and lovely. Every business should have an Ashleighly!

Fuego has such a great ambiance, almost impossible to beat if you enjoy waterside dining with breathtaking views and understated elegance. Food is always tasty but service is typically a bit spotty, but the ambience usually makes up for any service glitches. Last night’s prix fixe Christmas dinner, though, was so RUSHED, not enjoyable. There are many examples but the most offensive one was our party of three were still eating our dinners, plates in front of us, when the server brought the desserts and inquired if we were done. Two of us were not, but the server removed our plates (still with dinner on them) and left the ice cream topped desserts in their place. We were not slow diners. Our dinner plates were removed within 20 mins of being served but then replaced with dessert. We were in and out within 65 mins of being seated. My guess is the aim was to turn tables every hour on Christmas. We asked the server why it was so rushed, as it wasn’t crowded. He said the kitchen staff was controlling the pace. We suggested the diners themselves should set the pace, especially if they’re not lingering too long. Expense was expected, including ridiculous validated parking fee, but we didn’t expect to have to be in and out in just under an hour.

We were greeted warmly, served by an attentive server who took our orders. The food was delicious and the room was quiet and comfortable. A wonderful experience.

We were in the standard seating area. It wasn’t very busy for a Monday night but our server was the only one serving several tables. She was very responsive. The food was great. I had the Pescado tacos. Great flavor and good size portions. My son had the Octopus tacos. I had a bite and they were cooked perfectly. Great seasoning too. Of course, the margaritas were delicious

Wonderful experience on the water. We came for brunch but a live band came around 3pm. We had pancakes, the croissant and the 3 little pigs. Everything was tasty. Waiter was kind and efficient. We will be back!
