Not exactly the tourist trap we were expecting. Got in with no wait on a weekday. The steak was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The French fries were phenomenal, I had two baskets. Great place to watch the tide or the sunset. Coming here to drink and dine with friends was a great experience.

Nothing more beautiful than having dinner with your bestie at the beach while the Sun Goes down! Couple of glasses of Chardonnay doesn't hurt either! Great service, food and atmosphere.

Clam chowder was not good, neither was the shrimp. Great views! They were very busy so we didn't get a lot of attention.

Smoked salmon fettuccine was delicious and I recommend it. KB was the server and she was very pleasant.
**Ambiance and Service:**Nestled in a vibrant location, this establishment boasts an inviting atmosphere perfect for socializing. The prompt and attentive service ensures a seamless dining experience, making it an ideal destination for sports enthusiasts or those seeking a casual gathering.**Culinary Offerings:**While the ambiance and service shine, the culinary offerings fall short of expectations. The menu features classic bar fare, devoid of originality or excitement. The dishes are serviceable but lack the creativity and flair that distinguish exceptional dining experiences.

Late Post March 2024Situated on San Clemente Pier, Fisherman’s Restaurant provides not only a beautiful view but also serves classic seafood dishes. Despite being a group of 12 without outdoor seating, we still enjoyed fantastic views from inside. Unfortunately, I did not have a seat facing the ocean, and the only drawback was the presence of quite a few flies in the restaurant... which probably wouldn't have been an issue if we had sat outside. Our server, Kylie, was excellent in taking our orders and promptly serving our meals.Fish and Chips – Crispy and well-seasoned!Fried Calamari – Not my fav, possibly pre-ordered frozenClam chowder and fresh sourdough bread – Delish, didn’t come out hot but immediately fixed it. The bread was bangin’ fresh, hot, nice crust, soft inside – highly recommend.Shrimp cocktail – portion smaller than expected but the typical - nothing fancyyyy
Always very fresh, very satisfying the cooks know there business seafood done right With a certain amount of professionalism, The servers are always on the ball For the price, it's absolutely a must.
