“Fresh and delicious! So nice to grab a quick, easy dinner here on a hot night.

Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating regarding my need to avoid sugar. They even let me taste 1 drop to be sure I wouldn't get myself in trouble with a blood sugar spike.“

They kept onions out of my food like I asked.
Definitely will go back!“

“Our 3rd time at Tides in about a year was a quiet Sunday evening. I just love the decor in this restaurant. The deep green velvet upholstered banquettes, the high ceilings and the use of plants create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. As usual, we had very good service, and our meals were excellent. As an Andrea Aker, I appreciate that they had several nonalcoholic cocktails to choose from. I decided to try one called “the love of L“. It was a lavender flavored lemonade with lychee syrup. It was delicious. A little too sweet for my taste. To make it a 10, it would be great if there could be an option to have this without as much sugar (or even with stevia sweetener). It’s a small group of mine about most mocktails: they are all made very sweet. Still, it was beautifully presented and tasty. My husband enjoyed some of it too. He got an old-fashioned that was smoked. It was kind of elaborate —they smoked at the table. He loved it! We tried the new Teriyaki steak skewers as an appetizer. I really like this! I almost never order beef at a restaurant, but this preparation appealed to me. There was a lovely little salad with a sesame based dressing that accompanied them. Both of us got fish entrées. I had the Seabass and he had the blackened halibut. We both liked his better. It came with a mango salsa and a scrumptious Passionfruit beurre Blanc sauce. We couldn’t resist ordering dessert. Carrot cake is one of my husband’s favorites and this one was prepared without raisins, which is perfect because he doesn’t like raisins. It was delicious. I got the flourless chocolate torte. That was also a winner. It has a texture like ganache or fudge icing on a cake. It came with a raspberry coulis and some whipped cream. We also got ice cream to go with. Usually Tides is busier, but this was the first Sunday night of the back to school week so the whole town was pretty quiet. And with only a few other tables, the noise level was nice in the restaurant and we could easily hear each other talk. I’m pretty sure even when the restaurant is more full that it’s still one of the quieter restaurants.“

“Delicious food and cocktails.“

“This is real hood chicken, real soul food. Highly recommend the fried chicken and catfish... unbelievably good. FYI, not a sit down restaurant, but plenty of good parks within distance of the restaurant to eat at and take in the sights of oakland“

“Oysters looked good but I opted for the crab melt. I thought the crab was decent. The bread was nice and toasted which was a plus. Otherwise I thought overall the place was ok. Small seating area which is understandable considering where they are located. Could be a fun spot with the right people.“

“Love the salmon and my new fav is the dynamite shrimp bowl!! Rice cooked perfectly, shrimp are perfectly cooked and just the right spicyness and bright flavors to perk it up! Delicious! My dad in law LOVES the fish and chips! Says one of the best ever and he’s in his 80’s and from the south so must be good ! Lol 😊 only bad thing to say is the parking in the center it’s in is awful! Staff is sweet and helpful! Thanks great experience !!“

“I bought the oyster combo with DoorDash and I absolutely loved the deep fried oysters. The fried breading was very tasty and the oysters tasted like they were cooked just right.

I chose potato salad for the side, I liked it, however, I do not know if they make it fresh.

The combo also comes with a Shasta brand soda, but cola and lemon lime are the only offered flavors.

I definitely want to order from here again.“

“😀First visit here after years of walking past it. The veggie combo and meat combo platters were among the best I've had at Berkeley and Oakland's many great Ethiopian restaurants. Service was very fast and friendly and outdoor back-patio was peaceful. I will be back soon and often.“

“Montecatini Restaurant is always a welcome evening for our family. We can always count on perfectly prepared meals every time whether it's a traditional pasta dish, seafood or house specialty item. Their service is friendly and efficient and our experiences there are consistently top-notch. We love to start with either the prawns wrapped in pancetta with pesto aioli appetizer or the bay shrimp on butter lettuce salad. The prawns are full of flavor and great to share, and the bay shrimp salad is a great portion, small meal-size with delicate balance of flavors. The carpaccio is also a favorite of our family, we order it with the arugula, red onion and dijon dressing. You cannot go wrong when ordering your favorite Italian entrees; we've literally never had even an average experience here! Pastas are perfectly cooked, well sauces and the portions are abundant. The Classics are authentic, delicious and the seafood entrees are always perfectly executed! They offer a full bar and a wonderful wine list! This restaurant gets my highest recommendation!“

“Deliciousness for value and warmth for atmosphere. The host is always welcoming and service accommodating. New favorite place for life. 🤓“

“Food is always good and consistently made to taste each and everytime we order a dish we've had during a previous visit. The owner is very nice and is always busy at work either helping up front or assisting in the back. The pot stickers are the big juicy hand made kind, with quality ingredients. It's surprisingly hard to find a good quality one that's not solely at a dim sum restaurant lately.“

“I remember going to another branch and having a really delicious meal.Came here and found it!!!I was happy to go in and have lunch.I feel like this place tastes even better!!!Please come here two or three times♡Healing time after a long time?“

“Good service and good food“

“Hands down the best restaurant in Martinez. I travel from Vallejo to enjoy the Salmon and steak hibachi. The staff are so kind and friendly. The dining area is always spotless. I highly recommend you come here if you’re looking for a good quality meal!!!!“

“Love they crabs, so fresh & the prices are the bomb , thank you �“

“Yummy yummy yummy! Really our "go to" place for Mexican food in the neighborhood. Even make a point to go there when it's out-of-the-way! Try it - you'll love the food!!!“

“We stopped in got some Fish & Chips (cat fish) and Onion rings and soda.As a very picky Aussie who loves good Fish & Chips most stores here in the US I’d score at a 6/10 but this little hole in the wall shop it’s easy an 8/10 the chips where good size the fish was average size for all the US stores I’ve tried but this little store the batter was crispy and the fish cooked perfectly the onion rings where good the Chips where very good but I feel a few extra minutes in the oil would have made them a perfect Crispy outer and hot and fluffy“

“First of all the people that were in there getting food talked to me about how great it is before I could even order. I was excited. I ordered a Super Burrito with ground beef and everything. I also ordered a taco. When I saw how many ingredients were piled up on that taco and saw how the only way he could close that taco was to envelope it in aluminum foil I was amazed. But then when I picked up my bag containing one burrito and one taco I swear it was a couple of pounds! The burrito was huge! And delicious! And the person taking my order and the person making the orders were very pleasant. I will definitely be back many times.“

“It’s been so hot lately - pineapple green agua Fresca really hits the spot!

Love the fish tacos here- nice and crispy. Salsa verde on the side. We came around noon and there wasn’t a line.

Aloha club next door was open as well if you wanted to get drinks there.

Nice outdoor seating and vibe!“

“The best seafood in the bay MARISCOS EL POBLANO pull up and buy from Sergio's food is the best.“

“Great service delicious food cozy atmosphere. Awesome Happy Hour 👍👍👍👍👍“

“We went to a baby shower last Saturday. We sat outside which was lovely. The service and food is ALWAYS so good! They do not skimp on their portions! We have been coming here since 1985. Thanks Tony, you know how to do it right!“

“There were five of us. All 7 dishes were delicious. It was the best Hot and Sour soup I've ever had. Service was impeccable; attentive without hovering. Prices were quite reasonable.

Vegetarian options: We shared spicy tofu, green beans, veggie egg rolls. Perfect.“

“Wonderful food and great service!“

“Fabulous Food, Drinks and Ambiance! Love this place!!! Five Stars!!!“

“Absolutely wonderful food and service. Will be back to try other delights.“

“Excellent shrimp fajita, guacamoli, would definately order again.
Lots of seafood option, will go back to try.
Hubby had barbeque ribs which he thought were heated up, but tasty. Rice, beans, tortilla good. He would try something seafood next time (who orders BBQ at a seafood specialty restaurant?!?)“

“Great food and service the staff was super friendly and patient with us being first-timers there! Highly recommend the pokerrito! Dining area was a bit dirty from the heavy lunchtime crowd coming and going but all the staff there were too busy making food to get to the tables to clean, so it was understandable.“

“Great seafood boil restaurant! The place was decorative, and fairly clean for a seafood boil restaurant. The service was great, and the servers and staff were all really friendly. They had great prices, and their crawfish was HUGE! For the interior, it was really cool to see all the different people who ate there, and their decor was great. However, I feel like the lighting could have been a bit better, and have more brighter lights. Although the lights were a bit dim, the food makes up for everything!“

“Nice place for all so visit it.“

“Nominated for one of Martinez best Mexican restaurants!!🥳🍽️“

“Amazing service and food! Staff is friendly and caring! We ended up getting the alligator with dirty rice and fries for sides (also came with cornbread and corn), 4 whole fried chicken wings, the size of baby Pterodactyl wings! And the shrimp&grits. Definitely coming back!💜“

“Delicious food great service“

“I've been a few times so far. The first time I went the food was spectacular, this was for dinner. When I went for brunch it was a little lack luster for the breakfast carnitas. However, I think how it was prepared just wasn't suited for how I thought the breakfast carnitas would be served. I'll definitely be back to try other main courses.“

“Fresh seafood. Everything done well here! Will come back!“

“Our family and friends celebrated at home with an array of our favorites for all tastes. The staff went all out for us with abundant sides. Leftovers for days later. Our family and guests were 😃. Reasonable expenses. Will do again!“

“I hardly ever leave reviews, nevertheless I couldn’t help but to notice I agreed with a lot if not most of the reviews. First and foremost it is a great local bar the atmosphere and the vibes are great. You always feel comfortable and welcome by anyone ever there. I do have to acknowledge, however that the service sometimes can be slow and sometimes it takes me a good 5 to 10 minutes to be acknowledged while at the bar for a drink. I think this would be my only complaint. for some reason service sometimes for a drink can be a little slow. I must admit the bartenders here are some of the best. The cocktails are always tasty and delicious and I like the attitude they all greet me with every time I come. My favorite bartenders here happen to be JOSE and ERIC 👌🏾👌🏾“

“My favorite Sushi spot in Walnut Creek!!! It’s amazing here. I get the premium omakase and hand rolls every time. (Usually spicy tuna or salmon). The fish is super fresh and my favorite nigiri is the otoro of course.

They have some rolls there that are pretty good as well. The pacific roll is one of the ones we always get. But you can’t go wrong with all the others. Just pick the one with fish you like and it will taste so good.

Also the staff is so friendly and attentive. It’s worth it every time we go :)“

“Lovely ambiance, great food! Wonderful service! Great place for groups!“

“Fantastic food. Very fresh with great flavor“

“Great food on a great Sunday!“

“My wife and I love this place. This is our go to for lunch. I always get the BBQ Beef with Rice or the BBQ Chicken with rice. Everything here is delicious. I’ve tried the Chicken Pad Thai, Yellow Curry and Rice, both BBQ plates and next I want to try the seared Duck. We come here at least twice a month for lunch. It’s a cozy little place and very welcoming. The hosts are always friendly and smiling. The food is delicious and the best Thai food I’ve ever had. I make the drive from Antioch every time because this place is a Home Run every time!“

“I hadn’t heard of Tugboat until just this week reading an online story about the restaurant. It’s downright difficult to find a Fish & Chips eatery in the area. Living 25 minutes from their Pleasant Hill location is an issue but I decided to give it a go. I’ll definitely be back. The menu is extensive including the likes of prawns, catfish, oysters, calamari, even lumpia. I came for the fish and stayed for the tempura style prawns combo special. At $15.99 you’ll get a generous piece of fish, four prawns and a basket of fries. I read in an earlier review the fish wasn’t cod, and I really don’t know if it was but it was tasty with a golden brown deep fried crust. The tempura prawns were meaty and prepared perfectly. While you order at the counter, the food was delivered to my table along with tartar and cocktail sauce, and ketchup. The necessary malt vinegar was already at the table. The fork was plastic but I didn’t use one. It’s a casual place and I dined alone—finger food fish n fries if you will. The restaurant is bright, airy and sunny with a very definite nautical theme from the wallpaper to paintings and accessories/ornaments. There was no trash disposal in sight to enable an easy self bussing of the table, the soda machine was out of order (what no free refills😳) but their cold box of soda, teas etc. was ice cold so all good. The location is in a small retail center (Ellingwood) two doors down from an Outback Steakhouse so there’s plenty of parking. I’ve read where some think it’s pricey, but fish is expensive so I was satisfied with my bill. As mentioned previously, I’ll definitely be back, and if you like fish and chips, I’d highly recommend giving it a try.“

“The food is outstanding the atmosphere very inviting wish I had the time to sit with a glass of chanti wine 🍷 and enjoy the aromas of the food while being prepared!“

“the food was amazing!! service was great and the food came out quick!! u definitely recommend this place!!“
