Hidden gem, vast menu. chowder and fish n chips is my personal go to. Serving sizes are small to medium, but great food for sure. Mainly locals frequent this spot, the wait times arent too bad, parking is plentiful. Price wise $$ . Parking lot usually is good with space.

If you have any kind of mobility issues (anywhere from being in a wheelchair to having a broken ankle), this place is difficult to get to. The ramp down to the marina is a bit steep, and I could not see anyone in a wheelchair going down without holding onto the guard railing for dear life. The piece of wood that connects the dock to the actual restaurant lost a few screws, as it was shaky.

Interior is dark and there is a bar with ample selection. The whole vibe gives off trashy biker bar. Staff were a alright. Not too friendly but not rude either.

Clam chowder was alright. It was very thick and needed more seasoning. Garlic bread was AWESOME! Honestly, maybe the best I’ve ever had. I give props where props are due.

Overall, once was enough. I won’t be going back.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very difficult to reach.

Waitress seemed annoyed because we came later at night. Wouldn't have cared but the food was super salty. I was so excited to try this place but the chowder definitely needed less salt.

Niche. It's a really nice place, but it's really hard to find and it's in industrial Wilmington which is weird. Also, it is very hard to maneuver this area if you are handicapped or disabled. It's a restaurant on a very old moored barge

The clientele seems nice, the food is average, the ambiance is average. If you are a longshoreman looking for a beer and a pretty girl, at least the waitress will be there!

Otherwise it was just pretty average

The Chowder burger with fried clams is the ideal comfort meal, especially on a rainy day, and the service is attentive and patient. The atmosphere is relaxed and serene. There are TVs around for games and other purposes. I always look forward to coming here.

Disappointed with my visit to this restaurant. The staff was extremely rude and unwelcoming, making me feel like I was inconveniencing them. Instead of proper service, I received irritated looks and curt responses. The atmosphere left an unpleasant impression, despite the good menu. If guests are not respected in this establishment, there’s no reason to return.

A unique dining experience. This is an oldest floating restaurant in LA area. The clams chowder is their famous dish and it’s a must try. Ordered the chowder burger with fries. The combinations were very interesting. The clams chowder was so good. Taste the clams in every single spoon. The service is impeccable. The entire restaurant has a unique decoration. Love it.

If you want a giant, cold beer in a frosted mug or a cup of chowder this is the place!
