This seafood restaurant pours a straightforward Bloody Mary with celery salt on the rim. They use fresh horseradish, skin it and grate it right into the drink. Read more

Blue point oysters are very sweet. Clam chowder is really really good!!

Right on the docks, this place makes for a great lunch or happy hour

What they say about the clam chowder is true. It's amazing.

The Clam Chowder is the best in Southern California! Can't go wrong with the Fish & Chips or Fried Shrimps!
Genevieve ChanJune 13, 2012
Go for the service! The food was ok, nothing outstanding. Maybe I should have gone for something fried. I thought SB Shellfish had fresher fish. But the harbor view and the waitstaff were top notch!!

Go to Brophy's at 3pm, sit at the bar and enjoy the view, and the [relative] calm - it's the mid-afternoon lull time Read more

If inside is full, go down to the alley and sit outside. Same food half price.
Tim SchmittJanuary 16, 2010
Saturday afternoon wait 1+ hrs. Don't accept resv. Worth the wait if you have the time. If not, have sone ceviche and a bloody Mary at the bar downstairs.

Clam chowder and Ahi tuna salad was delicious
Tyson RoseMarch 22, 2016
Over-rated and underwhelming. The service was disorganised and the food was bland and rubbery. Have no idea what all the hype is about. It was the worst seafood I've had in years.
Courtney KleinNovember 17, 2015
Seafood pasta is on point
Kirstie MaryottMay 24, 2012
Perfect ratio: 4 drops of tabasco per each garlic baked clam.

Good clams slightly overcooked. Swordfish not enough salt and slightly dry
Elika Real EstateJuly 19, 2018
Best fish and chips.
Magdaline DilesMarch 22, 2016
WORST meal I have ever eaten. It took our hostess 3 attempts to seat us. I tried the fish sandwich and only managed 1 bite. Absolutely inedible. Utterly disgusting. My glass of water was ok.
