Crystal SuenSeptember 3, 2010Soft shell crab might be a bit briny for some. Order the potato for side dish--awesome!
Donald MooreApril 12, 2011Had the shrimp skewers potato and slaw. Not my favorite. I'm from Louisiana we like it spicy.
Jenny SawinSeptember 29, 2011Clam Chowder is RED! If you're from New England, you will be disappointed!
Sherry BrayAugust 20, 2010Not my favorite venue and the waitress was less than friendly. There were people lined up to get in...so I guess it has appeal. My suggestion - keep on walking down the beach.
Milo B. AdamsOctober 31, 2010this place is a bit fishy - paper plates, plastic cups, bread and crackers in tupperware on tables. seafood- eh. keep this place in your back pocket for a quick lunch and NOT a dinner date -overrated.
JeannieJuly 13, 2012Was expecting so much more. Just mediocre. The red clam chowder wasn't all that and the coleslaw had onions in it! Yuck.
Jake S.July 7, 2014Overrated & overpriced. Turn around and walk to somewhere else, this place is terrible.
Marie-Ange OstréOctober 17, 2016J'y retourne chaque fois que je vais en Californie ! Décor restaurant de pêcheurs. Service efficace. Le top ? Le crabe de l'Alaska, juste ébouillanté sous vos yeux, avec coleslaw maison et purée.
Bjork ThApril 27, 2018Debes de pedir el cóctel de camarón como entrada y plato fuerte la brocheta de camarón asada con arroz y salsa de limón es riquísima ! Tienen un sabor muy rico los precios son accesibles
Daniel RuedaAugust 16, 2013La comida excelente. Sopa de mariscos muy buena y el salmon atlanta delicioso. Lo recomiendo
