Wedding party came in on a Saturday afternoon and only waited for about 10-15min for a seat outdoors. Definitely, sit outside if you can. It's gorgeous. We ordered crab/artichoke dip(lots of crab), crab cakes (even more crab) for appetizers. Food was delicious and rich. I ordered the prawn pasta, super garlicky and lemony. Fresh pasta, prawns seem to be on the softer side but were still good. My mates got the salmon burger, combo fry plate and Caesar salad. I sampled everything and it was darn good. Highly recommend if you're looking for an old school sea food joint that serves fresh, well executed food.

It's called Fish Market, get the fish. Fish: 10/10. Other food: 6/10. Service: 4/10. Had the miso glazed black cod and grilled sablefish - some of the best fish I've ever had. Raw oysters were decent. King crab was ok. Calamari was disappointing . Service was really slow, even just to get our orders take or get the check, and our glasses went empty and never got refilled.

Well worth it! The food was delicious. Even the shrimp in the cocktail appetizer had a really good flavor. You can tell it, and the scallops were really fresh. The ciopino had a great flavor. Sitting right on the inlet coming in from the bay adds to the ambiance. Amazing strawberry mint fresh lemonade, and great finishing touch with hazelnut chocolate mousse.

This business is very fancy, they offer outdoor seating on the bay with a view of the water and fresh fish fried or grilled fishes or cippino a favorite. Tasty drinks bring your boo. If your trying to impress or get lucky take some pics by the water and capture the moment, staff and waiters are very friendly and helpful. Fresh fish your catch. Delicious food and beautiful views bay area classic dining.
