12 Best Seafood Restaurants in Pleasant Hill

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“It was a beautiful Monday evening, perfect for dining al fresco. We were searching for a place with not only good food but also the right ambience, as so many outdoor spots can be spoiled by traffic noise or the distraction of pedestrians. This restaurant turned out to be a wonderful surprise. The back patio is a hidden gem—surrounded by trees, with one growing right through the deck beside our table. It created a peaceful, unique setting that made the meal feel special. The experience went beyond the setting, though. The service was warm and attentive, and the food and drinks were excellent from start to finish. Everything came together to make for an exceptional evening. We left feeling delighted and already know we'll be returning—this is a spot we plan to become regulars at.“

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

“I'm confused by the lack of recent reviews.. i went here the other night because they were open til 11:45pm which is awesome cus i clock out at 11.. went with a safe order, some zhangzhou rice n a couple chx skewers.. this place is the real deal whoevers reading this, you can safely ignore the old shitty reviews. The food was just insanely good.. not a particularly complicated dish but its one of those.. anyone can do this but few have mastered it* 100% worth it to try this place out. Happy new year everyone ^_^,!,,!“

“Always such good food with so many choices. Always very friendly staff as well. Love eating here“

“excelente servicio y la comida deliciosa“

“Really Nice guys; I want them to succeed because it's nice having a taqueria down the street. They have a great taco Tuesday special, although the sign is tiny and you might miss it. As I write this, it's $10 for 3 street tacos and an agua fresca or soda. And then they give you chips & there is a salsa bar, so that is a major plus. I have also had the nachos, which were very large, and the Chilaquiles, which were nice & spicy.“

“From the moment you walk in, you're instantly greeted at the door with a warm welcome 👋. The service was great, and our server was super attentive to all her customers 🧑‍🍳. I ordered the lunch special—salt and pepper fish with chow mein—and it was beautifully flavorful 🐟🍜. The background music added a nice touch to the experience 🎶, and the place was clean and tastefully decorated ✨. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Stopped here because we got into town late and most other places were closed. Very good food and will go back often when I come to town. Open 24 hours a day. Huge menu options.“
