“Local seafood restaurant that seems very popular. Food can be good, but some items are better than others. The seafood pasta is excellent, the fish dishes were OK, the strip lion steak was surprisingly good, but the calamari steak was disappointing. It was very thing and had more batter than squid. We had steam clams and crab cake appetizer which was decent. Prices were pretty high and it cost us $50 pp without drinks. There are no kids menu. The restaurant is on the small side and it is pretty loud and crowded.“

“That was hands down the BEST clam chowder I’ve EVER had! The sourdough bowl it comes in was the perfect complement to the flavors of the chowder. The Dungeness crab legs were perfectly cooked, the seasoning was so delicious, and it was finger licking worthy. The atmosphere was so cool and the staff was super friendly and fast. I’m highly impressed. Unfortunately, the town I cannot say the same about, so, I’ll recommend this place to everyone that’ll listen, but I’ll never be able to eat there again.“

I'd agree--I had it too. Service was fast and not at all intrusive. We loved the pidgeons that occasionally walked through. I'll keep bringing visitors here!“
