The Old Fishermen's Grotto offers a delightful dining experience, with a beautiful view of the water and sea lions swimming around. The menu features a variety of delicious dishes, including salmon, steak, calamari, clam chowder, fresh abalone, and the Parmesan crusted locally sourced cod. Guests can also enjoy a clam bake, cioppino, and fish n chips. The restaurant is known for its garlic toasted bread bowl and yummy mocktails, such as the Strawberry Colada.
The staff at the Old Fishermen's Grotto is friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience. The upstairs view of the bay, especially during sunset, adds to the charm, making it a must-visit spot. The restaurant has a classic decor, and although some areas can be dimly lit, the noise level is manageable. For those sitting by the window, it's a perfect spot to watch seals playing.
The reviews from recent customers have been overwhelmingly positive, with praise for the delicious food, the beautiful views, and the exceptional service. One customer even mentioned receiving a seafood tower on the house from the original owner, highlighting the restaurant's commitment to providing a memorable dining experience.
