About Cured Fish Bar

Cured Fish Bar is a hidden gem in Livermore, offering amazing food with fabulous service and presentation. The staff is warm and friendly, creating a wonderful ambiance for diners. The restaurant is cozy, clean, and well-lit, though the music can be a bit loud. The happy hour menu features outstanding $2 oysters and delicious Mini Albacore Tataki, while the shrimp toast is comforting and well-seasoned. The Caesar salad is crispy and flavorful, with a nice crunchy topping—the best one customers have ever had, often dreaming about it afterward. The oysters are phenomenal, with unique flavors and textures, and the ponzu sauce that accompanies them is amazing. The raw and warm dishes are all amazing, and many customers highly recommend trying them. The restaurant often hosts special flights and dinners that are unbelievably tasty and fun. Overall, the food is beautifully presented and freshly prepared, and the well-selected wine list adds to the overall dining experience. It’s a great place for a small date night, and parking around the corner is recommended since the plaza is small. Despite some minor noise from the music, Cured Fish Bar remains a lovely spot to support a local business and enjoy a memorable meal.
