320 Main

Cute little spot on Main Street in Seal Beach. The had a $ 30 prix dice OC Week special. They also had half off glasses of wine. From the menu, tried the animal fries, salmon entrée and the vanilla Panna cotta dessert. The animal fries were perfectly crispy served in a small cast iron skillet topped with lots of melty cheese and grilled onions. Yes– as good as you can get without going to in-​n-​out! The salmon was also well cooked with flavorful crispy skin and a soft flaky texture. Wasn’t sure what the fish was served on exactly but that didn’t have too much flavor. The dessert was Panna cotta served in a small mason jar topped with fruit topping and crunchy ribbons of caramel. It wasn’t bad but definitely wasn’t something I would specifically go out of my way to eat. Overall, a good fun meal with friends with decent food.

tldr; Good food and drinks, good but a little slow service, decently expensive
I came here with some coworkers on a Tuesday. We made a reservation but didn’t really need. I like the area that the restaurant is in — cute little shops and other restaurants on the street in Seal Beach.
We started with the Chorizo Mac n Cheese and the Buffalo Chicken Tenders. The tenders were great — nicely fried and good flavor. The Mac n Cheese were pretty standard, nothing to write home about. The chorizo was more like ground beef since there didn’t seem to be any spice to it.
Two of us ordered the pork chop, and the other two ordered the new york sirloin. The food took a while to get to us — not sure if that’s because the chop and steak take a while to cook or if they were just backed up, but the waitress didn’t acknowledge it so we’re guessing that’s normal. The pork chop was HUGE. I know it said 20oz, but it definitely looked bigger than that. I liked the chop mostly because it was pretty fatty, so if you don’t like fat then I wouldn’t suggest it.
I was a little disappointed that there weren’t many sides that come with the meal. The menu said it comes with cauliflower, but there was only two pieces. The sides would’ve helped break up the heavy flavor of the chop.
The drinks were great. I got the moscow mule which was probably one of the best mules I’ve had. The waitress definitely built this up and it didn’t disappoint.
All in all this is a good place for a nicer dinner. I won’t be rushing back simply because it is pretty pricey (we paid about $ 75/​person). Probably the 1 big downside for me. Parking is also kind of a pain in the area.

They were very short staffed. They told us to find our own seats because they were occupied. They also mentioned they would give us water to start off with but it took approximately 15 min for the water to arrive. Their brunch menu is until 4pm; we were there at 2:30pm wanting to eat the items on the dinner menu. We only settled for drinks, which took quite awhile. The place is small and quaint.

(per usual, my review is in reference to the bar program only).. . This is one of the best cocktail bars in orange county, in fact, to date, this is my favorite cocktail bar in orange county. I was happy to find a bar program in the O.C. that is knowledgeable, and historically accurate in their approach to classic cocktails. If you know your cocktails, or looking to learn, and are in orange county, go here. If your looking to pretend to enjoy cocktails, and really just want to look «cool», in a «cool» environment, then go to all the fake knock-​off bars in the O.C. that are just jumping on the band wagon. Of course there are areas that could be developed or improved, but the foundation of this bar program is solid!

Located right on Main St. next to one of my favorite brunch places, Crema Café. Turns out that they also use the bread from Crema’s bakery!
It was my first time here so I just ordered food. Looks like this place specializes in drinks also since plenty of people around me ordered the Moscow mule.
Came here for dinner and ordered the Brussels sprouts, bone marrow Wellington, pan seared salmon, and the 12 oz New York.
Everything tasted amazing and the presentation of the food was very appealing that I didn’t even want to touch my plate. My absolute favorite was the bone marrow Wellington. It was very flavorful, stuffed with mushrooms and wrapped in a puff pasty! Brussels sprouts were also flavorful and addicting. The salmon was cooked perfectly, it’s texture was so soft like butter and pairs well with the butternut squash purée. And the New York steak was so delicious that I forgot about the mashed potatoes on the plate! Lastly, our server ended our dinner with two chocolate chip cookies.
The atmosphere was very nice, and it was dimly lit. The host and server were very friendly and attentive. I’ll most likely be coming back (especially for the bone marrow!)
Also, happy hour isn’t served on holidays!

It is my first and last time coming here. We originally wanted the 12oz new York steak but it was sold out. Totally understandable since it is the weekend. Waitress recommended the pork on the menu, and we also ordered salmon. It took a while for our food to come out… and when we got it everything look good. The pork was literally nothing but fat. And it was also very pink. We asked the Waitress but she said it is fully cooked… I’m not sure how reliable she was. pork that’s pink!!! We didn’t even eat half of it because it was too fatty for us. The size of the pork is deceiving!!! We also got the old fashion but it looked like it was half made. Overall, my experience here was horrible. For the price we paid, we can get something better elsewhere. I’ve tried other restaurants way better then this especially for the price we paid.

I came here for an early birthday dinner that a close friend of mine made reservations for. Just getting to the restaurant gave me a great experience. It’s one of those strips with local shops down both sides of the street. The pictures on Unilocal had me sold, when I saw them, an immediate «omg Instagram worth!» Lol.
The restaurant is smaller than I expected but it feels cozy. Dimmed lights, I’d say it’s a pretty nice spot for a one-​on-​one hang out or even a date. Reservations are recommended because it seems like the place gets crowded really quick.
The service was well paced and very accommodating. Food came out within 30 minutes.
About the food, so we ordered
1) 320 Animal Fries
2) 20oz Tomahawk Pork Chop
3) Short Rib Grilled Cheese
The animal fries are BOMB! Comparable to In-N-Out’s Animal Fries, but a little more authentic and flavorful. The portion of cheese/​sauce/​fries are more balanced here.
The Tomahawk Pork Chop is probably a «try it once,» kind of fish, if I am being completely honest. The meat was slightly dry and not as tender as I was hoping. I also would have prefer a little more sauce on the dish because after I ran out I was only left with a saltine taste probably from the seasoning. ***NOTE: This dish serves two, unless you have a really huge appetite. They really weren’t kidding when they said 20oz. LOL***
The Short Rib Grilled Cheese was very tasty, but get ready with napkins on hand because your hands will be really oily from the butter on the toast.
All in all, I had a pretty good experience here. May come back here as a place for a date. They don’t usually do birthday specials, I’m assuming, but our waitress slipped two cookies for us as a birthday accommodation. So thank you for that! I do want to try the breakfast menu here though, a lot of reviews about that!

Whenever we are nearby we always come here. Today it was for a late breakfast/​lunch. I ordered the chicken and french toast breakfast. It’s the best. My wife had the short rib sandwich. The portions are generous and you won’t be disappointed regardless of what you order The drinks from the bar are perfect and there is a TV at the bar for the sports enthusiast. We enjoy sitting on the patio and people watch. You can park on the street, or choose the free public parking just a short walk to the West. We came tonight for a birthday dinner. They were able to accommodate our large group of about 25

Awsome drinks !!
Ramos gin fiz is just perfect.
And food really good too!
Changed my mind about LB food and drinks

Great service, delicious food, and awesome drinks! Come for happy hour on Sunday and enjoy some delicious appetizers and drinks for only $ 5. I came here on a whim with my wife and our experience was perfect! We were seated in less than 5 minutes (at 7:15pm) and had drinks and apps ordered soon after that. The drinks took a bit, but only because they were making fresh lemon juice. For the apps we had the shishito peppers, Brussels sprouts, and the Mac and cheese. All 3 were delicious! We ordered the salmon and short rib entrees and both were rich, savory, and flavorful. The whole time we were there the wait staff was very attentive and provided great service. Highly recommend this place. We will be back next time we are in seal beach!

Moscow mule is the best here. Perfect for a romantic evening, or for a casual get together with friends. Highly recommend their duck fries and brussel sprouts.
Happy hours menu is pretty good here, definitely a must go to place to check out when you’re in the area.

I did not like this place. came here to meet my friends. she went a month ago and she said they refilled their bottomless mimosas pretty often.
went here for sunday brunch. $ 10 for bottomless mimosas from 11−3pm. Sunday food menu was very limited so if you’re here to eat, don’t go on Sunday.
was kind of hungover and wanted soup but they don’t have any.
I have no idea why it took 30 – 40 minutes for the food to come out but we were all very annoyed. and with the server not filling our mimosas often while we sat and waited, I was even more angry.
fried chicken & French toast — we went with 6 people and 3 ordered this entrée. ALL of their chicken was burnt, so we thought that was how the chicken was supposed to be like. chicken was plain
fried chicken Benedict — the other 3 of us got this dish. only 1 dish had burnt chicken. I guess 4 of the entrees, the chicken was cooked together. my chicken was probably from a new batch because it wasn’t burnt. lol. chicken was the same as the entrée above so it was plain. I liked the eggs Benedict though. I would ask for gravy on the side so it doesn’t make your toast and chicken soft. the gravy was okay.
I didn’t get the server’s name but service was horrible. the place is really small and there was literally 2 – 3 parities there (2 – 4 people each). so this place was pretty dead. I thought that we would get refills fast but our server only came by every 10 – 15 minutes! the mimosas were also in very small glasses so it takes like 3 gulps to drink it all.
very very disappointed. mediocre food, burnt chicken, and service was even worse. should have gotten the server my friend got the first time she went here. at least I’d get a little buzz going on and wouldn’t care about the burnt chicken!
word of advice: if you’re going to be slow in refilling the drinks, GIVE CUSTOMERS BIGGER CUPS
I don’t know your name lady, but I was there for 3 hours and was not buzzed at all… super failed!

I love this place! I have lived in Seal Beach for years now, this is a gem and one of the best on Main st. There’s not too many places you can find craft style cocktails made with love and a late night happy hour starting at 9. My favorite is the fresh squeezed greyhound but whiskey/​bourbon seems to be their specialty. No one else on Main st offers this. And it’s not just a couple drinks, at least 20. Definitely the best chicken tenders I’ve ever had and for $ 8, I have them too often. I also like how they always change up the menu and keep things fresh, which all of the food seems to be. I usually sit at the bar and all the different bartenders are super cool and friendly. The manager Chris always greets us in a professional manner and always stops by to say hello and make us feel extra special. Five stars all day!

Very chill & relaxing ambiance at 320 Main.
Ambiance = A
Food quality = A
Service = A–
Price = $$ (C)
We started with the Prosciutto-​wrapped Fries which was a teaser for our appetite. The Prosciutto was cooked with a nice crisp to it. The fries seasoned lightly. The «homemade» ranch was definitely used to coat lightly and bring out the flavor of the prosciutto. You can’t go wrong with fries & ranch.
I gave their Thursday homemade pasta special, «Chicken Chorizo Alfredo» a shot and I was pleasantly satisfied with this order. On the first bite, the pasta was tasty, fresh & thick noodles. The creamy alfredo and chorizo seasoned the pasta well. Not overly seasoned or salty. Did not find many recognizable pieces of chicken in the dish (unless the chorizo WAS made with chicken). The portion was fit for dinner with no leftovers to take home. All quality and not about quantity here.
My wife ordered the baked vegetable lasagne (whipped herb ricotta, piquillo pepper coulis, parmesan & panko). Definitely a lighter dish (light on the pasta) but nice texture with the panko to give it a well balance and guilt-​free dish to enjoy. I happened to snag a few bites to embrace the guilt-​free feeling (with her permission).
Service was A– giving the friendly welcome and service was mostly quick. Seated and our food orders was taken quickly. The starter/​appetizer took about 15 minutes. The entrees took about 20 minutes and my pasta was semi lukewarm/​hot. This did not take away the entire dinner.
Price of everything is a bit high-​end expensive.
Prosciutto-​wrapped Fries = $ 11
Baked Vegatable Lasagna = $ 9
Chicken Chorizo Alfredo = $ 18
Ice Tea = $ 3
Total = $ 54 (incl tax)
I would come back here again. (occasionally)

My boyfriend always wants a deal, I however, want quality ingredients arranged with care, respect for the food and creativity. We all of the above here! I’m always so so pleased with the high level of service; servers knowledge, friendliness and professionalism. If you love a good happy hour, they have an early one 3 – 6 and a late one 9-​close. They even have happy hour on Sundays! Tonight we had Jacqueline as our server and she took great care to make it a perfect date night. She took the time and care but made it seem effortless. As a server I am greatly appreciative of her talent. All of our food was even so pretty & Instagram worthy.
320 main hits the nail on the head.

Really loved this place! Happy hour all day Sunday! Jacqueline did amazing job and took great care of us. The cocktails here are perfection. I will be back to try the food and to enjoy some more wonderful drinks.

You can tell the chef or owner has a steakhouse background, but is going for a more laid back feel. It’s more gastrobar than pub and maybe not steakhouse enough, but their cocktails sure keep them classic.
The detailing outside on the railing is a nice touch to go along with the natural light. The bar is a little to sport bar-​ish with the TV and the chair are too classic to be considered a lounge. They have issues with curtains and controlling that natural light sometimes. Clean bathroom and excellent wait staff. Bartenders are the best, making customer drinks and slinging classic cocktails. Though I’ve yet to meet the chef I’ve always been interested in talking about some of their items. Usually chef’s aren’t that busy that they can’t shake a guests hand on request. Maybe they’ll come out next time. Don’t be shy, I don’t bite.
I love the drinks and the HH. Their classic shishito presentation is excellent and though overpriced regularly, is in line during HH. Duck poutine is tasty, thick gravy, but what I liked the most was the duck’s texture, shredded, but then likely cooked on a flat top for some crispiness. Risotto balls are good, but for a rice dish, balled and fried I thought it wasn’t’ worth it. Mac & cheese was excellent, but needed a creamier cheese mix than gruyère, cheddar. Fried pickles go excellent with neat whiskey, like a pickle back, but classier.
The Duroc pork chop is substantial, but the cous cous too light. The ribeye doesn’t say USDA Prime and to be called a steakshouse you need that. I love their liberal use of eggs poached, sunny side on breads, flat breads and entrees. I asked to have a modified hollandaise sauce used instead of salad dressing, I have them some liberty on that. I like their 320 sauce and A1 variation on other items too. Always go crème brulee when it’s available.
They make solid old fashioned’s, manhattan’s. I also like their Army Navy (anything with orgeat). Love the Dutch Kills since it uses genever. They’ll do many things Rickey. The Detroiter is something you should try since it uses stone ipa (an excellent ipa in it’s ownright), I never thought it would pair so well with the apple brandy.
It’s great place for food and dates or just to hang, but a serious place for drinks.

After a $ 1,200 bill… We were told to keep it down at 9pm sitting by the bar on a Friday night, celebrating a very successful business event. It seems that enough people are saying the common scene of crappy service and ungrateful owners. Just read along and focus on all the negative comments as you will find the truth about this place. Not much more need to be said.
Spend your money and take your business elsewhere. Definitely not bringing any more business dining meetings here ever. And will continue spreading the word about this place to all friends, family, and all business affiliates.

Someone surprised me here for dinner.
We came in on a Sunday at about 8pm and there was no wait. Once seated, we ordered the following and its description.
Shishito Peppers– Nothing special. They were however cooked perfectly. They were good with the ribeye. Only $ 6 for happy hour.
Bone Marrow Wellington ($ 10) — This was excellent. The bone marrow was topped with a pastry type of topping. It was a really good starter and I definitely recommend it.
Blue Nose Bass– ($ 28) This was my order. The bass wasn’t as flaky as I wanted but still good. It was a little overcooked for my liking and very brown on top. It was a little dry to be honest. It sat on top of a white creamy sauce and topped with various sweet cherry tomatoes and dill. It was okay but I probably wouldn’t order again.
16 oz Bone-​In Prime Ribeye ($ 40) — This came with a little bit of mashed potato and topped with some grilled broccolini. The ribeye was cooked perfectly and was very good.
Our total was about $ 90 (without tip). Other special items on the menu include poutine, beef carpaccio, fried pickles, risotto, other seafoods, sandwiches, and salads. They have 2 hour happy hour Tuesday-​Saturday from 4−6pm. They also have all day happy hour on Sundays. It includes $ 5 drinks, and starters for $ 6 or $ 8. Our service was good. The girl waiting on us did her job, but was not personable. She also did not mention any of their specials or that they had happy hour going on. The food took awhile to come out. The inside is small. There’s a bar section and a dining section. There is only a few booths. During our visit, there was a couple celebrating their 10 year anniversary and another couple just ordering starters and drinks. It was kinda dead for a Sunday. Overall, I had a good time but we won’t be rushing back.

My little sister and I have gotten into a habit of going to breakfast on Sunday mornings when she doesn’t have practice, and this morning, we opted for Seal Beach as the weather is nice, and most of the resturants have patio seating. On Wednesday, I popped my Unilocal app open, and we ran through my bookmarks, only for her to decide on 320. So we made our plans and couldn’t wait for this morning!
The lovely thing about 320 is that you can make reservations with the Unilocal app through Open Table. All I did was select the date, party size, and time. I got an email with the confirmation and that was all I had to do! So easy. Too bad finding parking on Main St on a Sunday morning isn’t as simple. At 11:30 AM, I made only 2 little circles before finding a spot, but usually I have to wait a bit longer, or drive around for longer. It’s hit or miss, there is metered parking in a few of the parking lots at the end of the street by the Red Car Museum.
The service is here is fantastic. Every time I have come in for breakfast, whether it’s busy or not, I get impeccable service. And today, Olivia and Antwon were 100% awesome! We started inside because our table outside was still occupied but they made sure we knew that they would move us outside asap. And they did (^_​^) I love breakfast outside. I people watch, so if you’re in the area. I do apologize haha! When we arrived, which was shortly after opening, the were already full tables outside, and 2 parties inside. So we took a seat at the table by the bar and ordered our waters. The atmosphere is very much intimate and low key. I love that it was very minimal, but still very appealing!
Lil sis ordered the French toast and bacon, will I went with the duck poutine. The French toast comes with 3 perfectly battered and toasted slices of brioche bread, topped with powdered sugar and blueberries. Served with a THICK slice of bacon, and 2 eggs sunnyside up, and a side of maple syrup. The brioche is a great bread for french toast, and my sister thought it was quite tasty. Keep in mind, she does not eat french toast AT ALL. But with a limited brunch menu, she opted for that over everything else. weirdo. Anyhow, I took one of her sluces, and we shared the duck poutine. If you haven’t ordered this yet, there is something questionable about you. A rich gravy smothers cheese curds, and crispy golden brown fries, and topped with mini-​mini chives. Sounds so simple right? It is hella filing, and for freaking fries, it is incredibly rich and full of flavor. My mouth was literally overwhelmed the first time I tried them. I mean, it’s a simple dish, but something about how 320 Main does it… man its bomb. One of the best poutines I’ve had. The duck is shredded and slightly crispy. and juicy… and it goes so well with the melted cheese curds. It’s mouthwatering mkay? I’ve also had the fried chicken and french toast, and I was a fan. The chicken was perfectly fried. Crunchy outside, juicy inside. Served between 2 pieces of their brioche toast. The combination of sweet from syrup and salty from the chicken is like a little party in my mouth. Chef Jaime does it well here. The food, everything I’ve tried, is on point and excels in rich, delicious flavor that will keep you coming back for more.
They have specials throughout the week as well.

I give 320 Main 5 stars for taking it back with the way they make their drinks (nothing better than whiskey done right, folks.), and for an extremely delicious menu from top to bottom! Next time your on Main St, pop in. You won’t be sorry. And your belly will be smiling.
