If you like 70"s style dining this is for you. The sides are gross the fish is fine. Yes I said gross...sorry there are cole slaw like from KFC, iceberg lettuce salad. I don't get it, this place is old fashioned boring food and atmosphere is the same. If you are over 65 this place is perfect you will feel... More

Recommended by the waitress, we had butterfish and monkfish. They were good choices for us. Especially, monkfish tastes like lobster, like what the waitress said. I always believe steaming and grill are the only two best way to cook fish. Here all food are cooked straight on grill fire. Hey we had strawberries for one side dish. It's the season... More

We got there late and were skeptical. We were richly rewarded. We asked our server for recommendations and he steered us to the sole and halibut. The servings were generous and very tasty. We had leftovers. More

The fish dishe have always been good. Sides make the check a little pricey. Nicely grilled over wood, throw-back, great way to cook fish. More

Our fish was fresh but overlooked. The best side dish was cole slaw. Service is friendly and efficient but not attentive. Doubt that we would return. More

LIKES: Immediate seating, nautical theme, fresh sourdough rolls, fresh seafood (oysters, clams, scallops). DISLIKES: Limited children's menu, waitress disappeared for long periods, calamari steak wasn't as good as other restaurants, side dishes were boring/bland (cherry tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, rice, or mashed potatoes).

This is a must visit and dine experience. Excellent evening with great service from the time we walked in plus one of the best seafood menus I've seen in a long time. The choices are so enticing that it is a struggle to choose which one you prefer. My wife had the Ahi Tuna and loved it while I enjoyed... More
