The restaurant hours said it’s open on Monday from 5:00 pm. The doors were still locked at 6:30.

I had the seafood sampler. The seafood was fried perfectly, the sides however showed zero creativity. Tepid garlic mashed potatoes in the shape of the portioned scoop, nearly uncooked carrots and broccoli. A forced 20% gratuity because of our party of five, in an empty restaurant. Neither the front or the back of the cause seemed to care. Good luck with thinking boys!

Everything here is fried in a thick layer of batter, so everything tastes pretty much the same. The fish is nothing special. The main courses are brought when we are halfway through the starter…

We stayed at the hotel next door for a night on the road trip. Since we were very tired from the journey, we just went to the next restaurant without any great expectations. We were totally surprised! The service was very attentive and nice. The food was very good and fresh. The portions are large. Good food at a fair price!

More of an upscale restaurant. Lovingly prepared dishes. But maybe a little too warm and the portions too small. Nice location and enough parking spaces. Friendly staff.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp on the west side.

You have to eat here! Best food I’ve had in my trip through California (maybe except 5guys bc I’m a sucker for smashed burgers … but this place is lit)

The squid, shrimp and fish in the Sampler Plater were very tender and cooked to perfection. The recommended local beer was also very good. Recommended

ok go

Walked in and it was pretty dark. There was only 2 other customers there for dinner and it took 20 minutes to get our food. We ordered the sour dough clam chowder bowl which were super small, the spaghetti which had no flavor and chicken tenders with fries. The chicken tenders were the only thing with flavor. Customer service was good though, just the food was lacking flavor
