Wow! My first time here and boy will I be back. Very rarely do I have a meal out that hits from top to bottom like this one did. Very good quality seafood that was cooked to perfection. Crispy fries for the poutine which I feel like is hard to find since the fries are in a gravy but this place has figured it out! Can’t wait to return with friends — super easy to do separate bills since it’s a fast casual vibe.

On Google hour, it says the restaurant is open till 8pm. We are here at 6:25pm, no one is here to help us, the kitchen seem to be closed already so there’s nothing we can order. The menu says happy hour is all day on Sunday, when we want to order, the lady told us it already ended. Horrible experience.

My son and I dined here beginning of August while visiting the San Francisco area. The food was outstanding. We had steamed clams and mussels, crab cakes, clam chowder, oyster po boy and a Dungeness crab. Being from New England this was some of the best seafood I've ever had. Made me wish I lived out there so I could go back and enjoy their food again. On their menu they tell you to check out the menu, order at the counter, seat yourself and they'll bring you your order then prepare for a food coma. They weren't kidding about that last step.

Ordered take out.
They ran out of soft shell crab and only had fried shrimp or oysters.
Garlic noodles were over cooked and had a crunchy texture.
Only good thing was the Lobster ? roll.

My first time coming to this restaurant was last week and I was not disappointed! The atmosphere is so nice, food was great and the service was good! I love getting coffee from Crema Coffee Roasting so it was really cool to order my food and drink at the same time. The owner was very clever to put these two businesses in the same location!

The soft-shell crab po-boy is the best I've ever had. The bread was so soft and perfectly balanced the savory and sweet combo of fried crab and pickled onions. I also have the BBQ bourbon oysters and they were a great combination of large and meaty oysters shucked perfectly and super satisfying to eat. They have margarita on tap, I got one with Strawberry flavouring and some tajin on the rim- delicious!Eating outside on the patio can be windy on some days, but it is nice if you want the waterfront feel while being landlocked.

Parking: Right now the street is busy with construction, but there seem to always be spots to park out front.

Great seafood, large portions at bargain prices. The oysters are particularly good prepared many ways.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp up to entrance from driveway, wide spaces inside and outside.

Although a nice atmosphere and ambiance the dish I ordered which was the fried calamari was very much overcooked and tough to chew. The sauce on top was not bad and the ranch is good but I can tell it's frozen and not thawed to make the calamari chewable. Maybe their other dishes are better.

The bathroom was FILTHY. Garbage can overflowing, dirty sink and toilet, no toilet tissue or seat covers. I took a peak at their kitchen and it was very dirty as well. The nachos was made with processed cheese and the seafood was all pre-frozen. Nothing fresh. Service was verrrryy slow.
