NOMA Beach at Redfish

Came here after work on a Friday and the vibes were just perfect. The sun was setting, no mosquitos were out and the bartender was so sweet and nice, she was great ! Had an espresso martini that she made with Baileys and was perfect ! I prefer coming for drinks at the bar than dinner, but just my preference.

I am not going to discuss the location or venue because IYKYK- but I will say this is a 2 star restaurant if you bring children. We have 5 and bring them with us everywhere because they are our broke best friends- so anywhere we go is rated on how they treat children. Our adult meals were fab- we had fresh succulent oysters, solid (perhaps not the exact meatballs she used for the award) meatballs in a delicately robust and just absolutely delicious red sauce, the fish which was cooked perfectly and the tres leche like dessert (which they served with a sparkler for my birthday which was a nice touch). I love that they have a kids menu but it was priced so high and executed so poorly we will not be returning. Our bill was over $400 and for that steep price we expected edible meals for the kids. We had 3 kids meals which cost $60+ and included the standard buttered noodles, spaghetti and meatballs and chicken fingers and fries. The meatballs were so dry and quite frankly I believe were old and reheated and the chicken tendies were so burnt I had to ask for an extra side of fries that my kids fought over like starved beach seagulls. Those 2 plates should've never left the kitchen and I am disheartened that such little care was put into their dishes. The service was too notch and I did mention how well done the tendies were- but for a place to charge top notch on every single thing and give the vibe of fine dining- we wanted edible food for the kiddos. We were the only people in the place because it was the start of their dinner service (I do this to spare other people the company of my children) so the cook shouldn't have been off on anything!

The food is WAY overpriced and the quality is not good. Lack of flavor and tastes like it was pre-packaged. The view is great - but truly nothing else redeeming from the dinner. Disappointing!

Yikes! Wish i would of seen reviews before going; Exterior:let's start the exterior looks abandoned, need major landscaping updateWater:the water taste awful! Wow We ordered bottle right after discovering this weird metal taste water.Customer service:The server was very attentive/ did his best answering all our questions; note a lot of items were either sold out or no longer on menuFood:Overpriced, small portion, the kids spaghetti and meatballs portion was much bigger than our entree lol, the tresleche tasted stale, the croquette was decent but still not worth the price.Cocktails tasted like a Starbucks refresher basically. We had to ask for a double to taste alcohol. Over all

The last time I've visited this location, it was the old Redfish. I recently visited again with a friend. It's the same as it always has been: mediocre.Here, you are paying for the scenery. It is located on the water amongst a sandy beach scene. it is beautiful to walk around at night. The food is good, but never outstanding.For drinks, i had the red sangria and my friend had the summer sands. both were very good cocktails. They were refreshing, and the Summer Sands had mottled berries at the bottom.For apps we had the meatballs (you know, just okay, not an itallian restaurant), the tuna crispy rice (these were our favorite, very tasty and crispy), and the garlic shrimp (good, flavored nice, but i like a more plump crunchy shrimp).For our main, we split the heart-shaped lobster ravioli (it was around valentine's day). These were stuffed with crab meat and topped with a creamy white sauce. Yummy.Maybe the best would to come here for their yummy cocktails and enjoy a nice view :) Edit: the BEST part of the experience was our lovely waitress. She was kind, positive, knowledgeable. One of the best waitresses ive had at a restaurant in a long time.. I wish i remembered her name but she was young and petite!

During happy hour on a Thursday, I visited, and to be honest, the place looked pretty messy. Even though the roof was closed due to a private function and the other area of the entrance we could see was cluttered, we were still able to take in the stunning views of Hammock Park from the patio. While the restaurant tables appeared elegant and brand-new, the bar area's tables were dated and inexpensive. But the loveliest person was the bartender. He quickly prepared our drinks, and they were excellent! I let him have a little creativity with my drink, and it tasted like a tropical prosecco. The view and the bartender made the drive out here worthwhile. I'm going back to sample the food.

The views and ambiance exceeded my expectations. The food portions were small but the food came out hot you could see the steam. The restaurant is located through a park and they are all the way at the end. You do have to pay to park and it's a shared parking lot with people that are coming to the bay.The hostess (my name twin) was helpful in terms of trying to seat us somewhere dry since it was raining. Also, the waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and The drink was DELICIOUS that was my favorite choice of drink.

Oh dear....we ordered some fries and a cappuccino and it was $27. I think this is an outrageous price for those two items. The cappuccino was pleasant but the fries were undercooked. If you're going to charge an arm and a leg just for some fries you had better nail it. The reason why I'm giving a one star is we went to go to the restrooms and they were absolutely filthy. They were a disgrace. We then told a member of staff and all they did was lock the door. We were then told to use the public toilets of Matheson hammock Park I don't think this is acceptable very very disappointed.

Great spot for Saturday or Sunday brunch and hitting the beach afterwards. Also a great spot to celebrate which is what my crew did. The ambiance is chill relaxed and just a great spot to hangout with friends. The snapper was truly fresh and delicious. Crispy skin and the sauce (lemony) made the taste pop.

The ambiance was superb. A light breeze and the sunset. So romantic. Everything we tasted was delicious. But, I'd highly recommend the Salmon crudo, Caesar salad, and the Branzino. Service was excellent. The place was empty on a Thursday night, so perhaps that helped? The chef was by the door when we left. 5 stars. So happy to have a gem
