We supported this restaurant during the shut down during Covid and beyond. The fish tacos are scrumptious and so are the fish and chips. So why 3 stars???a we took a chance and ordered a take out order of steak , asked for fries /med rare steak and my hubby, snapper sandwich. I called to say my steak was over cooked and my request for fries instead of mashed , not fulfilled. Not sure where the red wine sauce was?? My hubby said snapper sandwich mediocre, so, they replaced my steak for fish and chips which are excellent. I had to head back to the restaurant. I say Stick with fish tacos and fish and chips. We took a chance and learned .. stick with these two GREAT dishes . Thank you for replacing my overcooked steak for the yummy fish and chips .

I was in a large group of 15 people. We called in advanced to make sure they could seat a group that big. The food that arrived first seemed to be fine, great even. The food that arrived for the last people, me, was rushed and not cooked properly. We, my wife, mother and I, ordered the fish and chips. One of our fish was raw in spots. Some of the other fried fish, when broken apart, oozed water. My mom demonstrated this 4 times to different people and it oozed water each time she squeezed it. The fries were hard, starchy and over cooked. They waived one of the fish n chips as an apology. We asked for the check to be split at the beginning. It was given to us in full and we were told to split the check ourselves.

Really a perfect treat. Fish right off the boat and onto our plates, into our mouths, now swimming in our belly’s and the fish seems to have had a wonderful adventure. We are all getting along fine.

The food was pretty good. Drinks were good. We decided to come here because Phil's Fish Market was way too busy and crowded. The garlic bread was good. The oysters were fresh and delicious. They were priced well. The cioppino was decent but tasted a little bland to be honest. The seafood Linguine was pretty good, but not great. Something was off about the seasoning and flavors of the dishes. The drinks were strong and delicious. The service was excellent. Our server was friendly and welcoming and knew the menu well. There is parking available in the lot outside, but it is pay to park. The views are great. Great atmosphere. I would recommend this place. Very clean and well kept.
