Ashley RoseApril 9, 2018Supply and demand dictates pricing at this rustic-vibed tavern. Be prepared to wait 45 min+, spend $12 in soup, and love every minute of it. Half/Half Green Chile Artichoke Soup and Pie 👌

Lucille FisherJune 16, 2017All I can say-chilled artichoke w/aioli, a bowl of artichoke cream soup and another bowl of green chili cream soup (mix together or savor by mixed spoonfuls) and the unique ollallie pie ala mode!

Kathy DraskyMay 3, 2014The deep-fried oysters are a must!! I get jealous of the people who don't have to drive and can imbibe in one of the fabulous-looking martinis. Sit in the bar, even if you can't have a drink.

MarcJanuary 12, 2021Esquire: '03 J.Beard award for classic American restu. Think: artichoke soup, petrale filet of sole, olallieberry pie. Bar is super fun, w/cheap, tasty martinis & typically packed w/colorful localsUpvoteDownvote
Get the 'mixed' soup. Green chili and artichoke. Awesome.

Shell TOctober 15, 2019If you order their crab cioppino, and you should, prepare for a deliciously messy meal but they’ll provide a cloth bib and hot towels with which to clean yourself after the feast.
UpvoteDownvote- The fish specials are great, the cioppino excellent, but seriously, you are here for the soup and the pie. Green Chile soup, bread, a local beer, pie, and coffee.UpvoteDownvote
Margot SeetoSeptember 26, 2021Green chile soup, artichoke soup (you can mix them), ollalieberry pie. September 2021: takeout & outdoor dining only (order & pay first). 10 picnic tables in the lot.UpvoteDownvote

Christina CacioppoAugust 16, 2011Start with the half-and-half soup (artichoke & green chiles!), mopped up with warm sourdough. Move onto one of the daily fish specials, and finish off with the olallieberry pie – to go, if you must.Upvote2Downvote

Blackened fish w/eggs over easy for breakfast. Funny game we play with the staff-no matter how often we come in they never seem prepared w/the fresh fish menu. So we ask & if they know the fish we'llUpvoteDownvote
