So... I wanted this place to be good but it just wasn't. We ordered the fish & chips. The portion size of the fish was bad. All bread and barley any fish. I had to peel off all the breading to even taste the fish. The breading was super dark and a weird batter. Like a corn dog batter but not. It was all bread and no fish really. Maybe the oil was old I'm not sure. It was hard and just not right. Super greasy too. The fries were good though. The cole slaw that came with the fish & chips was sour It could be they just used a lot of lemon in it which I'm not use to or it could have been sour. It definitely tasted funny to me. Just the whole concept of this place was off. It's a restaurant but not I guess. You have to go to the bar and order your food and drinks, then you pay and tip before you even see the food. It was very odd. The claim chowder comes in a Paper bowl. Which I have to say the clam chowder was ok not great but ok. I have had worse. We ate everything because we dont like to waste anything. The only good thing about this place was the drinks and the view. Just not a place I would eat at twice. I should have took pictures of the before but of course I forgot.

Frankie is an outstanding host, the food was delicious, you habe to try the oysters and the view is just breathtaking!
Eh. Nothing was right but nothing was super wrong, just a blah experience when it came to the food and service. Had to search for someone to refill drinks. You pay before you sit and tip is asked for before being served.
All food came out at once. Bizarre.
Best part of the meal was French fries and oysters.
Fried Fish- overcooked Fish tacos were just wrong, from Tortilla to toppings Calamari was good, but more other fried things than calamari

Beautiful view of the ocean. Historical building. REALLY good food! Shrimp tacos were excellent and the best fries I've ever had!
Pier Place is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by Frankie, the owner, who is not only incredibly accommodating but also so personable. She took the time to recommend local spots and made us feel truly special and connected to the area. Amanda was just as incredible—so friendly and welcoming. We also want to wish Amanda's daughter, Savannah, all the best as she heads to Santa Cruz for her studies!
The menu is awesome, the oysters were perfectly shucked and absolutely divine. We also ordered ceviche which was super fresh and fish & chips and as a Brit… fully approve. Everything came out quickly and tasted SO good. Even though they use sake-based liquors, their cocktails were top-notch. We ended up staying longer than we planned because we just enjoyed chatting and learning about the area from the wonderful staff.
We will 100% be back, and it's all thanks to Frankie and Amanda. Oh, and a little secret: ask Frankie about her pet-friendly Airbnbs in the area- we can't wait to bring our doggie next time

We reserved The Pier Place for the welcome dinner and drinks before our wedding in early September, and it was a fantastic experience! The service was top-notch, and the food was excellent. We especially loved the clam chowder, ceviche, and tamarind margaritas. The staff went above and beyond to make our evening special. The deck has incredible views of the ocean and the restaurant was cozy and just perfect. We look forward to going back for special occasions like our anniversary or a just casual drink. Highly recommend!!!
Thanks Frankie, from your friends at Salmon Creek! The food was amazing, very grateful for the gluten free menu, we’ll be back soon!
