I had a great experience here! I ordered the seafood plate and everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. The drinks were amazing too — especially the cocktails, really well balanced and not watered down at all.
The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional, and the whole place was super clean with a nice atmosphere.
Definitely worth the visit — I would 100% come back!

I like to get at least something near my money's worth.
Wait staff didn't seem very happy to wait on us.

We were here around 3:30 on a Sunday afternoon with a lively buzz happening in the area. We sat outside so we really didn't get to experience what it was like inside. But given that the place has been around for over 80 years, it was easy to overlook it's somewhat shabby digs. The food, service and the fact that it's steps from Venice Beach and close to the Canals more than made up for it. We would definitely go back. It's an 'institution'!

Sadly, this was a huge disappointment. The fish and chips looked promising but they were both crispy and dry not in a good way. Part of the fish was actually raw and hard inside which makes me think it was fried straight from frozen. Definitely not worth it.

We loved everything about this place. The food was delicious. The patio was comfortable and had blankets for if you got cold. I would highly recommend going here.
