New owners are great people. Ricky is kind and very personable. It was a great experience with the family on Christmas Eve. We will definitely be going back. Cocktails, Thai Tea ,and all food dishes that we ordered were great.

This is not the seafood restaurant it once was. Its a Chinese restaurant with some seafood. I came for the Sunday brunch! There is no Sunday brunch. I came for the Monte Cristo, nope. I wanted the famous coconut shrimp for dinner, nope! They advertise lively bar activity. I wanted a Keoke coffee. The said We only have regular coffee. I had to explain. It came in a 4oz paper cup like 7-11. It was $15!!! I got the hell out of there

We’ve talked about going to Quinn’s for years and were finally in the neighborhood at dinnertime, not realizing the change in ownership until we arrived.
The food was borderline inedible and I’ll eat a lot of weird stuff. The whole fried fish had an off flavor like it had been in the freezer (hopefully) for a while and the oil had been reused for weeks. The fried rice side had a similar off flavor and was just crispy rice, however it was presented in a pleasant hemisphere shape. Drink order disappeared.
A TV was playing a “snowy night lofi” video with some truly abysmal AI slop jazz filler music that sounded like a midi track made by an ambitious middle school student in the 90s. It was nice to have some synthetic warmth though since the place was freezing.

This atmospheric and out of the way gem sits on the Estuary across from Coast Guard Island, N deserved a blend of local seafood with many dishes featuring a South Asian influence. Ask the host to tell you how that came about, and you will learn how that mix came about in a way that is authentic and true to the Bay Area. Set aside your qualms about the nabe, and venture in.

I've been going to Quinn's for over 15 years off and on. this last visit I found they had a change in management about last January. I have found a change and how they cook their food it's not the same as before. New Management has Vietnamese food choices as well it's different from the Italian seafood Style that we once used to expect from Quinn's when I was there they directed us to the upper floor where the bar. I am disabled can only take the elevator to the main floor. We found ourselves sitting on the main floor by ourselves. We each ordered fish and chips and clam chowder & couple sodas. I found a chowder to be very disappointed it wasn't it's Rich thick creamy soup as we've had and remembered it was watered down and thin. I found their staff very attentive and pleasant. Are bill came to about it came to about $89 plus tip. there's a lot of potential to bring back Quinn's the way we once knew it to be. I wish them the best and I look forward to seeing the change.

Ordered for pickup, paid in advance, drove to the restaurant and found IT WAS CLOSED. No explanation. Business hours on the door (and website) said they'd be open for 3 more hours, no one answered the phone, machine won't leave a voicemail, Toast says they don't handle customer orders. The door was literally padlocked closed. REFUND MY MONEY

I would give five stars across the board, except I found out what they DON’T have anymore… since it became the Vietnamese restaurant, it stopped being a seafood oyster bar that had monthly Sea Shanty Sing-a-Longs!!!! I am bereft I am heartbroken.
Everyone was very, very nice even though they were really focused on the big birthday party upstairs. We were the only people downstairs eating.
They gave me my Vietnamese iced coffee in a kickass pirate mug, like my friend got her Pilsner in.
Some of the menu offerings are really unique and interesting. I had the Vietnamese Spring Rolls … if you don’t know, Vietnamese spring rolls are fresh, not fried. They are served with shrimp and cilantro with some sliver vegetables and bean thread noodle. They were out of shrimp so I had the chicken. It was a little stiffer than I’m used to but my biggest problem was that it smelled and tasted very fishy. And it didn’t have fish! My friend had Ahi tuna nachos.
Then I saw the picture of the garlic bread and suddenly had to have garlic bread so I ordered shrimp fettuccine Alfredo—and it was very good!!
For me, the big standout was that the restaurant was originally a 1902 lighthouse moved down the estuary by barge to become the restaurant. Around the perimeter of the ceiling are model ships!
I just wish they’d bring back the sea shanty sing-along
And if they knocked those plastic, but they look like pewter Pirate mugs down to $25 instead of $75, I’m sure they could sell a bunch of them and still make a lot of $.

I might go back. Service was great. I ordered appetizers and we had a draft beer and Thai tea. The pork and shrimp egg roll was not good at all. Fries were good 👍 I would go back and try some entrées. They have a large menu selection.

Linda gave personal and terrific service. We had the clam chowder and garlic noodles with beef. Perfect.
I went for an event and enjoyed a great show and food. The wait staff was really friendly thought it took them a while to acknowledge me. Would definitely attend again. Good for a solo thing, girls night or a couple thing.

So apparently, there was a rave going on. Waited 20 minutes for service and no one came. Maybe it's better when the rave isn't going on. But honestly I'll pass. 🤷♂️

I am here in town for a few days and found this place on google.
The views are amazing, nice quiet atmosphere. When I first walked in I thought they were closed, dark and empty. A woman came around the corner and told me to go to the second floor, which I did.
Once I went upstairs I asked to be seated outside to enjoy my dinner overlooking the water.
