We went for lunch and both had the Fish & Chips which were excellent. Three pieces of fish came with freshly fried chips and a side of slaw. We had great service from our waiter, Mauricio. Highly recommended.

This is a down to earth restaurant, old school wood dominated ambience, great for Oysters, esp the 1$ special, we enjoyed especially the tomato basil soup and the smoker trout deviled eggs. Can’t say too much about the entrees as we normally order apeterizers only.

The food was good, I ordered fried oysters and on the website the fried oysters looked good and being an oyster restaurant you would think they can make fried oysters, not the case. It seemed like they just threw together some kind of breading together last minute and fried the oysters as is. That’s all I was looking forward to, very disappointed. The popcorn shrimp was good, the mussels were good. The service was good. Highly recommend this place except for the fried oysters.

The service was very good but unfortunately the food was disappointing. We had the fish and chips, and the seared sea scallops over risotto. The scallops tasted good but full of sand, and the risotto was tasteless. The fish batter was too thick. My glass of Chardonnay came out room temp. Overall, mediocre at best.

In a matter of four days we went to dine here twice. First was during dinner service and second was during lunch in their outdoor patio area. Great for groups. Prices were great and the portion of the food was perfect!! This is a hidden gem!!

The Cioppino was excellent. I'll thought the tables in the dining room were too close together. Next time I'll try the patio.
