Wow I thought I left a review a long time ago.... The people in this restaurant are awesome. They are on top of things all the time. On top of the good service you've got a great view as well. Even though it's a seafood restaurant they have the best spaghetti with meat sauce you'll ever eat in your life... actually anywhere on this planet! It is called the landlubber. I eat it every time I go there. I've been eating it for 35 years and it gets better and better every time I eat it. Its excellent! It is better than any Italian restaurant I've ever eaten at and with a salad it's perfect! Everything there is delicious. You'll totally have a wonderful time and excellent meal when you go there. Check it out and see for yourself!

Delicious seafood. My wife had the fish and chips I had the blacked cod which was cooked perfectly. Ambiance and service was spot on. 11/8/25

Your receptionist wasted 1.25 hours of our lives Saturday. Stressed and rude. It was an absolute Terrible experience. Had to leave and made our trip not so great. Thanks Barbara.

The receptionist told us that we were wrong, we were there for 62 minutes, not over an hour. She was rude as hell after us waiting an hour and 25 minutes on Saturday afternoon. Food did not look great, in the service was exceptionally terrible

We ordered at the window and sat outside since the wait was pretty long. The food came out in about 10 minutes and was fresh and hot.

Excellent fish and chips. Very light batter, fresh and tender fish. Chips are very good and cooked well. Wait was 30 minutes for a table so we just went to the to go window and ate in the picnic area outside.

Our favorite restaurant since 1978. Best calamari and fried prawns from San Diego to Jenner. Lovely same family restaurant with fantastic harbor views and excellent staff.

I had a seafood pasta. Seafood was over cooked causing it to be extremely chewy. Great location and good environment.

Anchored in the bay, all the way from Puget sound and a dinghy ride in for food. Walked around and quickly realized this was the busiest spot in town. Cold beverages outside made the wait alright. The "award winning" fish and chips were great! Calamari too. Great food, generous portions & good view of our boats. Staff was fun too. Cheers!
