Chris SApril 15, 2015This is the perfect seafood restaurant. Old school, classy, great service and perfectly cooked, very fresh fish. Most importantly, they leave it alone. No unnecessary adulterants hiding the flavorUpvote7Downvote
Most amazing poke...the wasabi adds such spice and dimension than your norm...this is incredibly flavorful. The Mai Tai is strong and transports you to an exotic locale :)Upvote6Downvote
Michael MorganMay 12, 2019Love this place! Out on the water with all-around spectacular views. The waitresses were all very sweet as well. Food was cheap and amazing! The chowder was so delicious.Upvote2Downvote
El DoostyOctober 2, 2015Looks like a tourist trap but it's actually quite nice with friendly staff and food that is way better than expected.

Amazing views! The bar food was fairly decent, both the clams and clam chowder were very good. The cocktails were decent, but rather weak. The bloody Mary's were the best.Upvote2Downvote
Jeremy AnslowDecember 1, 2015Wow!! What a view! Bring something warm just in case, the breeze can make the patio chilly. Great wine list, and the seafood Benedict was on point!

Natalia AndrievskayaMay 17, 2017Great view - the restaurant is right on the beach. Fisherman's chowder was good and burger was ok. View beats everything:)UpvoteDownvote- Jill WilsonDecember 11, 2013Go to the bar on the right, rather than the restaurant on the left. The bar has a better vibe. The drinks are good and you can't beat the view!UpvoteDownvote
- Julian AmalrajAugust 26, 2014The Cajun ahi is really flavourful. White sea bass was pretty nice too. The Mud Pie deserves a special mention!UpvoteDownvote
The Poke is wonderful and the Tresels IPA a perfect fit.

David StevensMarch 23, 2022ADA Access: No longer compliant. The manager Chris is ignorant regarding Federal law and continues to block handicap entrance with tables. (It’s been law since 1990.)UpvoteDownvote- Surfrider FoundationMarch 23, 2011Check out Fisherman’s for post-beach-day food and drinks. The “Trestle” is the best drink to have on the patio while watching the sun set.Upvote7Downvote
Andy WolfeApril 6, 2015Wear sunblock in the summer if you go for lunch and sit outside, it gets very hot around that time.UpvoteDownvote
Brandon F.June 12, 2011You can't beat their calamari sandwich. Order it with a brew and kick back on the deck of the pier overlooking the coast. Brill.Upvote1Downvote
Sitting at the bar? There are hooks underneath for your bag.

Jessica DFebruary 18, 2013The bar side is the most fun, clam chowder bread bowl is a must have!Upvote1Downvote
Fishermans feast. Get a table overlooking the ocean.UpvoteDownvote
- Two restraints, left side full restaurant, right site is Oystet BatUpvoteDownvote
If you actually want chips with your fish just go to the oyster bar instead of the restaurant, or ask for skinny fries when in the restaurant. Potato wedges just aren't the same!UpvoteDownvote
