Well kept and large variety of seafood in their market area. We had lunch in their cafe and it was quick and tasty. We found it... reasonably priced and would recommend to anybody to go here for fresh seafood or a meal. 2 entrees, a soup and an IPA came to$100. We picked up some things for a seafood boil and they even offered us some ice packs since we had an hour drive ahead ofus. Very thoughtful of them. Read more

i was glad to visited this restaurant because i like seafood very much. i like the idea the restaurant combine with a seafood... market. ordered the ciopinno, it's tomato soup base with assorted seafood stew. The soup was tasty (not the creamy type). Ilike the fresh ingredients. i like the fish pieces the most. Other ingredients includes mussels, clam, big shrimp, squid. thestew came with two pieces of grilled bread, perfect pair with the soup. edit: visit number 2: ordered the halibut, which was abig piece of good quality fish. It was skin-less, seared. Pesto dressing was light but perfectly paired with the fish andasparagus, love them both. love the potato too. visit number 3: ordered the strip bass. love the crispy skin, soft fishtexture. Also love the dressing sweetness mixed with the vinaigrette. It was tasty. Love the cauliflower, everything on theplate. Love this restaurant. Thank you chef. Read more

We stopped in after having breakfast in the area. I wanted to show my mom the fresh fish? secretly hoping she?d get inspired to... make dinner at my house. Don?t forget to grab a number when you walk in. The service is fast. My mom picked up a few pieces andcame home and made a delicious dinner. Mission accomplished! Read more

If you are craving fresh seafood, don?t look any further. Don?t expect fancy vibes, but expect top notch, fresh seafood, with... friendliest staff. I had better sea food than 99% of high end places. I highly recommend this place. Read more

We came here on Ash Wednesday to help us veer off on eating meat. They had a lot of very fresh seafood selections, seafood... salads and also has a cafe that offer delicious seafood dishes. We specially enjoyed the different seafood salads which you canbuy per weight. The octopus salad, indian candy (it's like a fish jerky) and the pickled anchovies were exceptional. The pokeselections are goos too. The cioppino has a very delectable sauce. The only thing is that we missed the crabs in it which weparticularly enjoy specially in the cioppinos in San Francisco, but it's still delicious. Read more

We came here for an early dinner while visiting Santa Monica and loved the food. The quality is amazing and the fresh fish is... excellent. The only reason we deducted a star was because we had to ask for water refills 3 times before we had water to eat ourmeals. Our favorite dish was probably the cioppino and the best starter was probably the crab cakes. Definitely recommend ifyou're in the area. We paid a total of $148 for 3 meals and 3 appetizers.
