Ricardo was our server. He provided my husband and I with a warm and inviting experience, offering detailed descriptions of the items offered on the menu. The atmosphere was pleasant and full of life.

Horrible service. I informed the staff it was my wifes birthday. They did absolutely nothing, not even wishing her happy birthday. The restaurant was practically empty yet the server ignored us so long I had to get up to get soda refills for myself and the kids. They got my order wrong but I wasn't about to send it back the way things were going. To top it off, they let a CHILD order a $75 plate and said absolutely nothing about the price. The waitresses attitude about it was dismissive and unapologetic when I brought up the bill. Save your money and go somewhere that actually cares about their customers experience. This place is not what it used to be.

The food was great as well as the service. The only downside was it was chilly night and the restaurants indoor option is still sort of outside. The heat lamps helped some, but cold winds still got in. Bring a jacket or sweater on chilly nights!

Great food and service. We definitely enjoyed the experience and we'll highly recommend it to others. The portions are huge -- and I do wish one could order less -- and thus skip the "to do" boxes.

My experience with Rockin Baja Lobster, was nice. It wasn't exactly what I had expected. Their menus quite extensive. They changed it. The atmosphere was very nice. The service could have been better. I had fried fish bucket with french fries and I should have got beans and rice and tortillas and I did not. So that's a big foul right there. The noise level was not too bad. I haven't been there in a while but the food was okay. The lobster buckets and the shrimp buckets are quite expensive, but if you're from out of town and you're looking for a place to eat seafood and you're in the old town area, this place is not bad.

The overall food is excellent. The restaurant was a little short on help today as one gentleman was servicing the entire section south of the bar.
