Amazing amazing food great waitress. I wish I knew her name so I could shout her out. The cioppino is so good. Get it with the noodles so you can have the amazing soup at the end.

This place is a well-kept secret. Excellent food, nice covered & heated patio by the marina, with plenty of free parking.

Beautiful spot on the water for quality seafood. Definitely a “special occasion” choice for us, but there were more modest menu items that could possibly make for a more casual meal. Incredible service! The ambiance and the staff took our experience to the next level. Thanks!

Went here on September 21, 2024 for my wife's birthday. OUTSTANDING food and service. Jill was our server. Rock star! Super friendly, engaging and attentive. She learned our names and addressed us by our names as did the manager and host. Amazing...how many restaurants do this?
We had calamari, beet salad for appetizers. Both were great.
For the main course, we had the local caught halibut and rock cod. Excellent also.
Ever since the closure of the famous Spenger's in Berkeley we have been searching for a new "go to" place. We found it. Highly recommend this restaurant. A+, Gold Star. The view of the bay and marina is nice also. Call and make a reservation asap. It fills up fast.

Did lunch here with friends Tuesday. Had fish n chips. Chips not memorable, but fish was the best I have ever had. Generous portion of fresh, tender, juicy ling cod caught the day before. This was our second time here. The first time, we shared a whole fish. Super.

This one is a must-visit if you’re anywhere nearby. The food was fantastic, the view was amazing, but our waitress Jill was the star of the evening. She was friendly, funny and helpful. She helped us pick out our meal, directed us to look out for the seals that visited the bay and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. Visit Marina Seafood, ask for Jill!

The oyster were amazing
The Dungeness crab gnocchi with fresh crab on top didn't have much flavor.
The services was great and atmosphere ?

We love this place! Ordered fish and chips, whole fried fish and salads. The seafood was very fresh and the portions were generous. We arrived w/out reservations and they were able to accommodate a party of five(they just opened 4p). As an added nice touch there was a trio band of high schoolers performing Jazz music, great ! Will definitely return and try other plates!

Forced to sit against the wall despite everything being wide open and guests coming in told to “pick wherever you want”. I order the fries appetizer, then quickly ask a few minutes later if I can just get the burger and fries. Was told I would have to order the burger separate, so essentially two orders. I say no thanks I’m not paying $35 for a burger and fries when you could just toss a burger on my appetizer order and call it a day. Also mind you the waiter said he asked the owner and the owner said no can do ?. Wait not done yet - I asked for a little more dipping sauce with the fries, get it, then the bill comes and it’s $2 for special order sauce.
Save your money, go to Skates, or go somewhere cheaper. I won’t be coming back here; this place last a lot of business due to a couple simple requests….and I would have been happy with even just one, but I got nothing. Only positive I can say is the servers were friendly.

Food was pretty good. Not big portions but not overly expensive for the area. Pro-tip - don't bring non seafood lovers here. The veggie options are expensive for what they are. Vegan gnocchi is the same price as the crab gnocchi! But the seafood dishes were delicious and the service was great and loved the patio concept.

The food was normal, servers were really nice and welcoming but the waiting for everything was kinda too long unfortunately. Overall the place is good but I would say overpriced and doesn’t really meet the expectations.

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch overlooking the Berkeley marina @ 76°. The citrus beet/goat cheese salad with salmon was refreshing and tasty. The clam chowder bowl was enough for the 3 of us to share and was some of the best I've had in a while (and the hot sauce gave it that special kick). Thanks Kendall for your great sense of humor and right on time service.
