Food - Good portions, generous amount of seafood compared to similar restaurants, tasty. The quality was satisfactory, however... nothing was unique. The salmon was quite dry. The red pasta sauce for the seafood pasta was lacking in flavor. The trufflemushroom pasta could use some more ingredients like veggies and more sauce. In addition the pasta noodles for the seafood pastaweren’t mixed in with the sauces or any oil so in the middle of the dish there was a clump of plain pasta stuck together. Thespecials that night were the best (risotto and pear ravioli). Service - We made a reservation and luckily this is one of theonly restaurants on the nicer end that was available to reserve the day before and also doesn’t require a financial depositfor larger parties. I’d still definitely suggest making reservations ahead of time as that night (Saturday) was packed. Wewere seated immediately by the host however he didn’t give us menus and it took a while for our waiter to come by and provideus menus and water. The rest of the night’s service was great though; the staff was friendly and efficient. They also provideda generous slice of tiramisu cake for my dad’s birthday. Ambiance - Beautiful interior that matches the beach vibes with woodand white decor and big windows lining the walls that look out over the bay. Con is that it was very loud at full house and hardto talk even to the person across the table or next to me without shouting. I’d suggest the restaurant consider adding somepadding or sound insulation under the tables to reduce noise. Price - The price is great for the ambience, service, and food. Ithink it’s one of the most affordable places to go for a fancier night out. Read more

I made reservations and they told me that we would be seated at the bar section. We were pleasantly surprised when got seated... at a nice cozy table with a view. They were very attentive and their food is awesome! Fresh oysters and their fisherman's stewwas awesome! All in all great experience! Read more
Great location on the pier, but away from the more touristy Fisherman’s Wharf area. Seated in the bar/lounge area, which we... preferred as it was away from families with young children. The food and wine were excellent! Thanks, Mike, for theknowledgeable suggestions and great service. Slightly disappointed that none of the draft beer taps were working, and that theywere awaiting a delivery of teas. Other than that, a very good experience. Would recommend. Read more

Great service, staff, and food. Our server made great recommendations and was kind enough to accommodate us splitting an entree... and dessert as we didn’t have a space to keep leftovers. The servings were plenty large - and the local fish was crispy with alight crispy breading, a fresh lemon cream sauce, and perfectly cooked. The cannoli was the best I’ve had! Not too busy on aweekday night with a quiet lovely atmosphere with views of the ocean. Read more
