Friendly staff, quick service. Delicious fish and chips and clam chowder. Bar like seating out on the deck. Just enogh protection from the hungry seagulls.

The halibut and seafood chowder were amazing! The halibut was fresh, and the chowder was flavorful. I would definitely come here again!

It's your typical by-the-dock dining experience. It's much better of eating outside looking at the boats than sitting inside. Yes, seating is rather limited and the tight space will get crowded during peak.

If you do order fried stuff like I did, please don't have it to go. It doesn't so the chef justice. The food has great flavor and incredible portion. I ordered the seafood platter: 3 pieces of shrimps, 1 crab cake, 1 piece of fish and a lot of fries.

My recommendation to the restaurant would be cut the amount of the fries by half and put in extra piece of fish.

Generally, the experience was pleasant and the staff were friendly. From the pics, you can tell that they care about the environment.

Casual spot with good quality and nice views.
- Crab cakes 5/5 - these really stood out and were perfectly cooked
- Fish tacos (grilled and fried) 4/5 - these were great but don’t necessarily stand out in San Diego.
- Calamari 3/5 - lacked seasoning and didn’t care for the dipping sauce but was of good quality
- Grilled rockfish 3/5 - cooked nicely and was high quality but also lacked seasoning and the herb verde was lackluster. Coleslaw was nice however.

I stopped by this place for lunch in Point Loma after seeing how highly rated it was on Google, and it definitely seemed popular. Even on a weekday afternoon, the place was bustling with people. One thing to note: there’s no free parking — the lot next to it is paid, and they do not validate, so be prepared to pay for parking.

The restaurant has a very casual, self-service setup. You walk in, read the menu written on a chalkboard, place your order, take a number, and find your own seat. The menu isn’t huge, but it offers a solid mix: fried seafood plates, stews, grilled fish, sandwiches, and a few taco-style options. Everything is based on fresh catch, which is a big plus.

I couldn’t decide at first — the grilled lobster and soups looked great — but I eventually chose the mixed seafood platter, which was a giant fried assortment served with coleslaw and fries. The portion was huge, definitely enough to share. It included shrimp, calamari/tentacles, a big crab cake, and a couple pieces of fried fish (likely cod or another white fish). Everything was very fresh, crispy, and delicious, but extremely filling since everything is fried. It came with lemon wedges and tartar sauce, which helped cut the richness.

Next time, I might try the fisherman’s stew or one of the grilled options, but this was still a satisfying pick.

The outdoor deck seating is a bonus — you get a nice view of the marina with lots of boats and ocean breeze. Just be mindful of seagulls and pigeons; they are bold and will absolutely try to steal food. The overall vibe is very laid-back, more like a seafood shack than a formal restaurant.

Fresh seafood, generous portions, casual atmosphere — definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Food was delicious. Service was fast. We sat outside so had to keep an eye out for seagulls but that was part of the fun.

One of the only places I’ll go to for seafood! Everything is fresh, and it’s all reasonably priced. This is the place to go if you just want good seafood and a serene view without the frills of an overpriced dine-in experience. If you sit on the deck, be prepared to defend your plate. Seagulls are ruthless but the view is so relaxing and I promise your food won’t last long on your plate anyway. I love the grilled shrimp skewers and I never leave without one kind of fish taco and a golden fried fillet. Fry basket shrimp are yuge. Also Matt who works there is rad!
