The Dewey

Such a hidden gem in the Pass A Grille area. I was able to enjoy the rooftop bar for drinks before heading downstairs to dinner. Service at both areas was great. Drinks were good at the rooftop and there is plenty of high-top table seating, lounge seating, and seating at the bar. The restaurant space is intimate or there is also an outdoor area for larger groups. Our server was able to have the kitchen split both our salad choice and entree choice, so portions were spot on. The Cesar salad was flavorful, and the market catch of the day (halibut) was cooked perfectly. Definitely a great spot to check out when in the area and looking for a nicer place for drinks or a meal.

The Dewey is an incredible dining spot that leaves a lasting impression, especially with its amazing fries that are simply out of this world. I can't emphasize enough how much I love their fries--I literally dream about them! The location right next to the beach adds to the overall charm of the place.The vibe of The Dewey is cool and laid-back, creating a welcoming atmosphere for guests. I love that it's named after the owner's dog; it adds a personal touch that I appreciate. Now, onto the food--the salmon dish I tried was one of the best I've ever had. Despite looking small, it was incredibly filling and bursting with flavor. My friend's burger was also outstanding, proving that The Dewey excels in both seafood and traditional fare.But let's talk about those truffle fries--they are hands down the best fries I've ever had, and I'm not even someone who usually craves fries. The truffle flavor elevates them to a whole new level of deliciousness. I can't stop thinking about them!Another great feature of The Dewey is its little rooftop area, perfect for watching the sunset while enjoying a refreshing drink. It's the cherry on top of an already fantastic dining experience.Overall, The Dewey has earned a special place in my heart (and stomach). Whether you're a seafood lover or just want amazing fries, this place delivers on all fronts. I highly recommend visiting The Dewey for a memorable dining experience by the beach.

Went here for brunch yesterday and everything was absolutely fantastic. Everyone in our party was very happy!For food: Some of the things we ordered were the croque madame, brunch burger, quinoa bowl, stuffed French toast, cava pancakes, and fried chicken biscuit. Every single thing was delicious!! For drinks: We had the ranch margarita and aperol spritz. Both drinks were very well made and delicious. For service: Our server was good and had a nice balance of being attentive while also not being overbearing. At one point he forgot my rancho margarita but was quick to correct it, apologized and was prompt in getting it once I asked. He was balancing tables all over the restaurant and did an excellent job even with the large number of tables. For families with kids: My two young children (ages 2.5 and 4.5) were also with us and they were very accommodating for them as well. They have a kids menu and provided crayons and a coloring sheet, plus also ensured their food came out first. There was no changing table in the women's bathroom but there was enough space next to the sink to do a quick change. For ambiance: The restaurant is updated, clean, and has a classy ambiance without giving off a contentious vibe. Overall, I highly recommend The Dewey for brunch!

This lovely spot is located in the Berkeley Beach Club boutique hotel in Pass-A-Grille and is the perfect compliment to the beach life. I had reservations for my Meetup group and they were very accommodating. I got there a little early and Erin made me a blood orange vodka concoction that was so on point and a great way to start the brunch. Our server Michael was top notch. When he went around the table he took the ladies orders first. Everyone mentioned how much they enjoyed their drinks. The most interesting of them was the Breakfast Sour that had bacon-fat-washed benchmark bourbon. I got as I call it the Paula Abdul - Straight Up - which included two eggs (scrambled), bacon, home fries and a biscuit - nom nom! The Churro French Toast was a fan fave as well. Kudos to The Dewey for doing it up right.

We joined The Dewey for a brunch celebration. The atmosphere is adorable. I wish we had peeked at the rooftop but it was very hot out so we opted for indoor seating .They had a few great by the glass wines that struck my fancy and I followed it up with an aperol spritz which was perfectly done ( not too sweet). We shared a burger and salad . The home fries were amazing and the burger was juicy!! Service was great and the manager even came to the table to check everything out .Menu is a bit pricey, but hey -- it's on the beach. Overall it was great and I'd love to revisit for dinner .

Stayed at the hotel above during Christmas weekend so we were able to try this place for brunch and for dinner. For brunch we were able to sit outside with our dog and had a nice and simple service. Food was all very good however it's very particular plates. Definitely have to be sure of what you're ordering. I had the bbq pork Cobb salad 4/5 and I was not quite expecting straight bbq sauce on a salad along with salad dressing. Enjoyed the rest of the ingredients though! Table also had peach pancakes 5/5, sweet and delicious. Salmon and dill shortstack 3/5. Maybe not enough smoked salmon for a dish to be called salmon in my opinion... flavors paired very well together which was surprising but personally couldn't eat a whole plate of this. Dinner: stayed for Christmas Eve dinner which included a 5 course meal. Service was 3.7/5... I understand she may have had a long and busy night however a couple times she was short with us and anytime she asked how was the meal she was already walking away by the time we were able to respond. Originally ordered Cesar salad but ended up not having anymore so went with beet salad. Very delish and refreshing. In love with the goat cheese! Butternut cream soup was amazing... definitely needs to be a regular dish! Salmon with cream potatoes, can't go very wrong with a simple dish. Other table mates, chicken and broccoli and salmon cakes. Chicken was a little dry but veg was perfect. Salmon cakes were great but did not care for the sauce/dip on the side. Overall I feel like the owners definitely put into consideration of every plate for the menus. And worth a try to new comers but would prefer dinner than brunch here.

Greeted by the owner when first walking in, I knew this restaurant was going to be a great experience. The food absolutely delivered. Everything tasted so fresh, and the menu continuously changes throughout the weeks. The calamari didn't even taste fried it was that good. The Caesar salad was more decorated than I anticipated, and I was happy about it. The black bean toast and prosciutto added on provided depth to the salad. The Cioppino was the best I've had. Calamari, mussels, scallops, and shrimp all in a beautiful broth of spices and flavor. It came with toasted baguettes with a honey mustard spread. The ambiance of this restaurant is beautiful to say the least. It is warm, and the pictures of their Australian shepherd makes it cute as well. The service was exceptional. Overall, 4.8/5! I will 100% be coming back.

Really enjoyed this place. The location is great, lots going on around. We started off at the rooftop bar which was nicely set up and had a beverage and watched a band below. Later we went down for our reservation to eat. Everything was great here except the service in the beginning. I'm not sure if it was because of how crowded it was but we waited about 30 min before someone approached our table. They were so sweet after confronted though, and did not charge us for our first round of drinks which was greatly appreciated and is why I did not knock of a star. I ordered the fried crab and omg it was amazing! My dad ordered the truffle burger and my mom ordered the lobster pasta, both were amazing as well. Will come back again one day!

Has not been to Pass-a-Grill in years. Today as such a pleasant surprise.This is relatively new construction, was formally opened right before Covidlife. Basically clean, new, comfortable and very very attractive, yet classically elegant. I have to start with props for our server Chrissy. She is a true professional who made today's experience all the better. In fact, would definitely go back!Basically we all had the Cobb salad. With 1 exception? Generous in portion size and of the highest quality. I particularly enjoyed both the pulled pork and the bacon scattered throughout. Blue cheese was excellent as well. There was a slightly sweet dressing that perfectly complemented all the ingredients. My only suggestion might be to eliminate the pickled onion garnish. Matter of personal choice. Before leaving we looked at the dinner menu and the wine list. Yes we will be back. sweet trashcan you dressing applied and just the right Crowder

Such a cute dinner spot! Went here on a whim & it did not disappoint. The courtyard was so cute & the food was amazing. Our server was extremely attentive and sweet. I can't wait to come back!
