Been passing by this place for years and have always wanted to try it and finally did to my disappointment. I just felt like the quality of the food doesn’t justify the price. The shrimp I ordered had a bad smell to them and weren’t very good it’s like they where old or over cooked and the service wasn’t great either, took a while for her to come to us. It was nice to have finally tried it but I wasn’t impressed and prob won’t be back, rather go down to Dukes instead.

I had dinner and ordered the mac and cheese and it was basically a soup and the service was slow when it was not even packed in there and the price was 36 dollars for practically noodles in soup

First let me say our server was excellent. The week was billed as an oyster festival. We shared pan fried oysters and an oyster po'boy. The pan fried oysters were very tasty. The po'boy was kind of a po'excuse for a po'boy. A cold roll with 3 oysters. We augmented it with some of the pan fried which helped.

The views were beautiful and the food was excellent. We arrived at 5:30 just in time for the early special dinners. Clam chowder was different but yummy. The fish was fresh and the sides delicious.

Nice down to Earth feel on the water. Casual with a touch of class. I personally like this place and half for over 45 years.Our server Craig was a disappointment. Luckily the atmosphere was not. We only saw him three times never checked up on us and we were there for two hours.

The pan fried oysters were excellent, baked potato pretty good, the vegetables were just vegetables, broccoli in this case. Overall I am happy with the meal but it is expensive to not have a salad provided or a cup of soup at $32 a plate. Still, if you are looking for pan fried oysters you can't go wrong with these! I'll be back.

Food was good but not as fantastic as the price would indicate. Waitress seemed put out we weren’t ordering drinks and at the end of our dinner suggested next time we could order “real drinks”. We ate early and the restaurant was full and loud. View was irrelevant since it was dark out. Overall, pretty good but not up to Stanley and Seaforts or even Blue Finn where you can eat for the same or more reasonable prices.

Decent little fish spot with an excellent view. I like the lowkey vibe - it feels like a Tacoma institution.
