Reviews for SHAKE & MUDDLE in Chula Vista, CA
Our server Enrique was outstanding! He was very professional and very attentive to our needs. Food is improving from a year ago... ( per the chef menu will be updated in a week) and cocktails were the highlight of this place! Music was great ( Friday nightwas Mexican oldies ) and he was gladly taking requests. It was an anniversary celebration and I made a note to the host made nodifference but I am glad the server save the day with a special dessert. As a whole! We are definitely coming back and can?twait to try the new menu. Read more
I went for the first time on Sunday for brunch and before we left we were talking about coming again and who we'd love to bring!... They do stop serving the brunch at 3pm on weekends. Dinner starts at 4. The menu offered a nice variety of classic American,Mexican, and various specialties. I had the classic eggs Bennie and it was delicious! The only negative is that the Englishmuffin wasn't even warmed so next time I'd ask for it to be lightly toasted. The potatoes that came w it were perfection. Myfriend ordered the omelette that also came w potatoes and toast. Both dishes were around $15 I look forward to trying more menuitems. The specialty drinks sounded delicious and run about $10.50+ We ended up doing a bottle of sparkling wine that came withthree infused syrups (lavender, passion fruit, mango) and berries to add to it ($25) Nice bar inside, loved the art inside aswell. Plenty of seating indoors and a great patio. The staff were courteous and professional. Our waiter came by just to refillour glasses! You can make reservations. I highly recommend. Perfect for families and a date. The restaurant is located on groundfloor of Gateway building at H&3rd. There is ample parking in the structure on the 3rd Ave side. Told my mom about it and shewent w two friends on Saturday night and they LOVED it. The food and portions were great and they had a jazz musician they allenjoyed. Read more
Shake and Muddle is a wonderful spot with amazing service and great seafood. The seasoning on all the food was perfection and... the staff were the friendliest and most attentive we have had. They had great live music and outdoor seating with a fire pit.They even surprised with an amazing cheesecake for my birthday. The restaurant was also super clean and refreshing! We willdefinitely return. Read more
The fried chicken and waffles were delicious! I paired mine with syrup, grape jelly, and butter. The waffles have a sweet... distinctive taste that?s almost incomparable to any other waffle I have had in my lifetime. The coconut drink was tasty andpaired well with my entree. My party sat inside so we got to enjoy the nice playlist and attentive staff. Thank you for thewonderful hospitality and I will be returning. #NATIVE #APPROVED Read more
Legends say they're still waiting. They're new so they do deserve some slack. They could do with having waiters assigned zones... or certain tables. We had three different people serve us so it was awkward trying to get help. It took 20m to get our drinks,an hour to get our food, an additional 20m to get the steak reheated, and probably 25m to get extra sauce for the pasta. Thewait was uncomfortably long, the food was decent, the atmosphere was nice, the music volume was decent at times and very loud attimes. I think it's a place to dine with friends rather than family or a date with someone. Read more
Delicious cocktails, the service is great. This is my favorite cocktail bar. But don?t think for a minute at the food is not up... to par with their cocktails. The sizes are not enormous, but they are certainly filling. Very fresh and delicious menu, madewith seasonal ingredients. I totally recommend this place. Read more
We came for brunch and immediately loved the outdoor seating. It was spacious and beautifully decorated. We were seated around... a fire pit which felt quite cozy. The staff was also friendly and attentive. We ordered chilaquiles with green sauce, breakfastburger, classic omelette, classic Benedict, garden omelette and 2 silver dollar pancakes with eggs and bacon for the kids. Theingredients tasted fresh but the consensus at the table was that the food was under seasoned; bland. Mid meal my daughterwhispered, ?my eggs are disgusting.? Disappointing to say the least. Despite this experience, I?m inclined to return fordinner and libations based on their other reviews and their awesome staff. However, I don?t recommend brunch. Read more
A very posh experience. Great service. Started off with a "creamy mushroom dip", excellent and quite tasty. My "Love" had the... rib eye, and potatoes, medium rare. Which she said was delicious. I had the scallops and risotto. I thought was good, but notas flavorful as i thought it should be. Also a couple of "muddle my mules", and "14 carrot margaritas". The drinks weredifferent and pleasing. I thought the steak was more rare than medium, but my preference leans toward the "well". Overall itmade my "Love" very happy.. and that's what makes me happy.
