Okay so not a real yacht club but the food and service would never lend you to that opinion. The service and food was impeccable.

Always constantly good. Service and food are top-notch. The linguini with clams or mussels or shrimp are not to be missed!
Parking: Best option is one of the nearby paid garages. Pretty cheap, but not free.

What a treat! We sat at the bar in the back because we didn’t make reservations on a Saturday night dinner. Service was very attentive and atmosphere was comfortable. We started with the Joe’s Salad, perfected dresses; and the soup of the day ~ Roasted Pear, blue cheese and walnuts…so delicious!! The half dozens Kumomoto oysters were outstanding (and I’m not a huge fan of oysters). I had the Rainbow Trout with the lemon and capers which was perfectly balanced and delightful. He had the Seared Ahi with ginger and soy sauce, which was very flavorful. Great experience. Highly recommend.

We were visiting from me Jersey and we're so impressed with the food service and wine selection that we returned the next night for dinner.
The seafood is very fresh, the portions are very good and the servers are very special and friendly. A definite plus plus recommendation.

The food was fresh and very yummy! Highly recommend. You must try the linguini and the peach cobbler if it’s in season! The staff was very demure and mindful ??♂️??♀️
A must try!
(We ordered the cobbler twice)

overpriced! $36 for salmon, expecting a normal size. However, it was undersize! Only 1 side offered. Won't ever go again!!

The food was good, nothing wrong with it, but it wasn't amazing. My table got a lobster roll, the Mahi Mahi and Sword Fish. The fries that came with the lobster roll were probably the best thing on the plate. They were thick with a crispy exterior and soft inside, covered in garlic butter! The Cole slaw that came with it was also very good. The lobster roll itself was grest, but nothing stood out that made it special, consisting of lobster meat tossed in a lemon aioli on plain roll. The swordfish was grilled with the WCYC spices. It tasted great but was on the dry side. The Mahi Mahi was prepared with a dill and caper sauce that the waiter recommended. It was my least favorite of the 3 dishes we ordered, but still good. I would probably come back to try other dishes. The food on the tables around me looked great. So maybe I just made a poor choice from the menu. Also, we walked in on a Friday night around 8pm, no reservations, and got seated right away.

Great oysters, mussels, and steamers! The lobster roll is a must try for lunch. The drinks are very good and not watered down. Alot to choose from. This is a class act with professional waiters.

We ate in the enclosed patio and loved it. For a noisier, more festive, scene eat in the main building. Food is excellent!

This is one of our go-to spots. Some of the best seafood around. Even beating out well-known SF restaurants. The Dungeness crab grilled cheese for lunch hit the spot. The clam chower has a nice creamy and rich flavor with some bacon thrown in. Call ahead to grab a fresh Dungeness crab or lobster.
