I would give it a 4 Star since all of our food came out cold but the clam chowder made me give it 5 stars. This has some of the best chowder I've ever had and it came out hot in the bread bowl. Big chunks of clam and it reminded me of something a grandmother would make. Come here for the chowder. The Gilroy garlic fries were good but they came out cold if they would of been hot it would of been spot on. I will definitely come back for the chowder!

Food was tasty, service was good as well. Stuffed salmon and the mexican mimosa were absolutely delicious. A little pricey, but its seafood on the beach so that is to be expected. The quality of food was worth the price. We would definitely come back here! Thanks for a great meal!

Great food! Went here with nearly 10 co-workers and we all had a blast! You have to try the clam chowder in a bread bowl, they are known for it! We had what seemed like half the menu and a bunch of drinks, the bill came to over 714$ with gratuity of 20% included because of our large group. The service was great and very attentive and they even brought the awning down for us because the sun was intense. Overall everything was really good and we all had a great time, kinda pricy considering but still - treat yourself when you can 😎 Check pictures if your curious!

The food was amazing, the service was fantastic! We only waited about 5-10 minutes for a table. Once we were sat, our server was quick! She took our order and our food came out shortly after! Best clam chowder I've ever had and I've tried so many different ones all over California. Amazing, amazing, amazing!
