Prepare yourself for a loud, boisterous experience - particularly at peak times.

Food and service were great, but the atmosphere would have been a lot better if the tables were at least 6" larger and didn't have people standing at window counter within arms reach, while wait staff negotiates access in the in- between space.
Parking: Parking was very scarce, but were lucky to take a space in the alley as someone was vacating it.

Had the ahi tuna salad and it was delicious. Unfortunately this place smells SO BAD! LIKE DIRTY ALCOHOL DISH RAG! but if you can get over the smell the food is great.

I thought that this was a really fun place to eat. Lots of atmosphere and great views of the harbor.
Sit outside and stare at the boats while having a beer with dinner.
I had the tuna and thought it was excellent. Order a side of vegetable kebab for a few dollars. All cooked (or barely cooked in the case of the tuna) to perfection.
I also recommend the salad.
I recommend the place if you are anywhere in the neighborhood.

Ordered Take out. The clam chowder was chowderring. Truly the best I've had very hearty potatoes were perfect. The sourdough was perfectly toasted. The Shrimp tacos were also amazing the shrimp was not overly greasy. The tortilla mixed with onions and cotija cheese was so savory. We also ordered fish n chips and my daughter 3 yrs old who thought initially it was chicken said it was the best chicken I knew that meant the tenderness if the fish was perfect and when I tasted it IT WAS THE we sat outside and it was great since it was fogged in during a heat wave it looked cold but it was perfectly cozy

Bread came out ice cold, they gave us a huge block and didn’t bother to cut it. I asked for a sprite it was literally just syrup in water no carbonation. I asked what’s popular she told me the ceviche so o got it. It was completely unremarkable, the serving size was like a whole meal. Again she said the fish and chips were popular and their best seller. I tried it and it was not great mediocre at best.

Gorgeous view of the Harbor. No stars given for food only because I didn't have any. Mimosas were amazing! Service was great!

Another must for anyone visiting SB. An institution! After a morning of kyacking in the harbor we rewarded ourselves with a lunch at Brophys. The bloody Mary's, the calamari and the fresh made bread were outstanding!

The food was okay and there was a nice view of the harbour to one side. The clam chowder was excellent. My dislike is due to fact that the outdoor tables are located on a narrow walkway adjacent to a stand up bar window. So basically I spent $100. For my date and I to eat with some guy”s bum in our face. Despite the staff constantly struggling to get past the bar patrons , management appears to be okay with this arrangement. I see the guy at the next table was not happy either and left a $2 tip. I tipped well as it was not the servers fault, but I will not be back. Very disappointed with the set up and surprised there are not fights.

Love this local, classic place. You can’t beat the location and views. Delicious and large portions. It’s always full and lots of people and energy.

The best clam chowder I have ever eaten!! I was hesitant when I read all the claims of the best chowder but I can now say with confidence this was the truth. There was a bit of a wait but the chowder was well worth it. The service was excellent and the buss boy worked his butt off!! Great place for a quality meal.
