This is a sustainable (green) restaurant, came here on a family trip & didn't make a reservation ahead of time so we ended up waiting for an 1.5hrs. The wait was worth it and the food was amazing!!!

You won't tire of straightforward whitefish. The innovative menu changes every day though staples include dishes like basil-stuffed rainbow trout and sea scallops in tomato-truffle butter. Read more

A quiet sustainable fish eatery with a great choice of local and foreign flavours. Make sure to get the scallops. They were not only massive but cooked to perfection. Make sure to book!

Excellent place in all respects : great fish dish with subtle flavors, interesting wine list at very moderate price and very warm service. ( I consider myself a pretty picky eater)

out of this world scallop, ftw duck confit, exquisite stripe bass crudo...impressive local wine list

Food and service were good. We had the scallops, cerviche, crab salad, sturgeon and mud pie and they were all good. Will certainly visit this place again on my next trip here.

Don't know where to start! The Gorgonzola curry chutney salad, truffle oil scallops, mint chocolate ice cream pie...local wines. All 5 stars.
Gene KeenanOctober 10, 2010
Avoid dessert and you will have a first rate dinner. Try the crab cakes, brussels sprouts, mussels, mahi mahi. All were 5 stars. Wine list is off the hook inexpensive and o what a list: some real gems

Fantastic food reasonable price. Great wines and not over priced like most restaurants. Make a reservation to ensure a table. It's a popular place.

Trust the staff here, they won't send you wrong. Trout tostadas, sturgeon, spicy chowder are all great.

A gem of a place with love for the ocean, high quality food and ambiance. Extremely high value for the price.

Husband loved the food. I thought it was okay. We had shrimp jambalaya and scallops. Mud pie was good, chocolate torte was a MUST have! Tables crowded, room very loud, hard to have a conversation.

Great seafood. The rockfish and smoked trout are stellar. Great takeout options as well.
Steph ShyuFebruary 11, 2019
Order the buttermilk biscuit at your own risk... because it is 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and you will not want to save room for anything else on the menu.
Paul FarrellOctober 24, 2015
Sonoma Valley Five Barrels Old Vines 2012 from Arnot Roberts is amazing. Don't chill, trust the team.

Had the scallops and they were unreal delicious. Take advantage of the outrageously UNDER-priced wine list!

If you like Dungeness crab you have to have the d-crab avocado salad. It's a large amount of crab and delicious!

The salads are great, the ceviche tostaditas awesome, the desserts beyond belief.

We expected it to be busy and it was -we were here 2 years ago when we heard Doug Devitre at CRS. Had no reservations about returning and had no reservations so 1 hr wait became 1hr + next visit
Robin HwangAugust 14, 2012
Try the crab avocado salad. Also, doors lock at 9pm, so make sure you arrive before!

Ask to sit in Casia's section. Her knowledge of the menu is only rivaled by her customer service.

Worst Service Ever!!! Visited Sunday April 7, 2024 9pm. African American & Caucasian Couple. Rude, Racist and Disparate Treatment by our Female Server. Disgusted with how we were treated! Walked Out!!
