Spark Woodfire Grill

Went here on the 4th of July for dinner and surprisingly it wasn't crowded however the deck was reserved for people who called ahead and put down a deposit. But as soon as we got there we were welcomed by friendly staff and great service. The food was delicious with one amazing shrimp and lobster pasta and an appetizer all running less than $30. Only reason giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because our food came out in the wrong order except it was obviously the cooks fault and the waiter apologized nicely.

I Love Spark for it's balcony over looking HB's pier and beach, and for the firepit!
Nothing better than the pit and the view...  Except the Lobster Mac and Cheese. Yup!
Another thing to add to the list of favorites here.. ...
You don't have to travel to Newport or Dana Point to get a great meal or awesome view, we're hiding it right here at Pier Plaza. Shhh! Keep it our secret, I like the lack of long waits and overly trendy 20 something's! Lets keep it that way....

Strong martini. Crappy overcooked steaks. Good calamari. Blah crab cake. Good pasta dishes. Nice outdoor seating with a great view. Decent selection of wine. The service was great though, our waitress took the steak off the bill as soon as we said that it's severely overcooked and we couldn't eat it... so my recommendation is order anything else BUT the steak...
