Just like in Italy. No matter what you order, you can't go wrong. It's a little bit far from the beaten path, so I thought it might be a hidden gem, but I was wrong. The place was packed, and when we left, there was a line stretching all the way out the door. I really recommend here!

The bread wasn't toasted so I was skeptical but it was actually very tasty because the outside had toasted sesame seeds on it. We ordered the fish and chips as well as their cioppino. The fish and chips were good! It wasn't the best I've ever had just cause I usually prefer cod but I think they used a different fish. The cioppino though was so delicious. It was extremely flavorful, the broth was not overally seasoned, it was perfect. There was lots of seafood too - such as clams, octopus, squid, mussels, shrimp and fish! I loved dipping the bread in it too.

I opted for their fish and chips. It was juicy and lightly breaded. I was very pleased with my lunch. My husband wasn't too hungry and he ordered their clam chowder.

Food and drinks were okay at best. The $20 "top shelf" margarita was just sour mix in a tall glass (ABSOLUTE RED FLAG) -- no agave, no fresh lime, not worth it and not a real margarita just sugar water. The $58 halibut special was oddly flavored (sweet, balsamic, horseradish) with nothing else standing out, and the calamari was floppy with sauce that tasted like it was about to turn. Bread was genuinely good, though. Hope the other menu options are better but honestly, skip the sit-down menu -- grab clam chowder from the outside window and save your money.

This was a classic New England-style chowder done right. It was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor without feeling overly heavy. The sourdough bread bowl was perfectly crisp on the outside while still soft enough to enjoy with the chowder. Easily one of the top three clam chowders I've ever had. The New England Lobster Roll was a pleasant surprise. I'm usually not the biggest lobster fan, but I genuinely enjoyed this one. The bread was soft and buttery, and the lobster had a nice savory flavor with just a subtle hint of sweetness that balanced everything well. If you're a lobster fan, or even if you're on the fence like I was. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. The only disappointment was the garlic bread. It was unfortunately over-toasted and very hard, so I'd probably skip it next time. Service was fast, efficient, and attentive throughout the meal. The restaurant was clean with a casual atmosphere, making it a great spot for a quick bite with family or friends. Overall, I'd happily come back, especially for that incredible clam chowder.

We were visiting friends in the area.

The hostess didn't seem overly thrilled when we showed up to this tiny restaurant (we didn't know how tiny it was when we chose the place) asking for a table for 8, but after a 30-ish minute wait, they were able to accommodate us. I really appreciate how kid friendly they were. It had a great kids menu beyond the typical chicken finger/burger options that are standard at most restaurants. But going further than that--the waitress offered to bring the kids' food out first, which is next level service. The food was delicious. Our glasses stayed filled. The oysters were fresh and wonderful, and my sanddabs were perfection. A really great meal with a fabulous view of the boats passing by. But if you're going to roll up with a party of 8, I'd recommend a reservation or be prepared to wait a bit. But definitely worth it either way.

The calamari is also good, featuring a light, crispy breading but was not greasy.

After walking on the pier we were kinda worried about finding a decent spot to eat. So glad we gave it a try. Walking in there were like 3 other parties walking in so that was encouraging. It gave off Hawaiian/tiki vibes and was inviting. They have a 3 course special 4-5 pm for like $30. My husband and I picked that, I had the teriyaki chicken bowl and he had bbq ribs. The salad had a delicious dressing and had to eat every morsel. Both the main courses were really good. My grandson ordered the steak and ate every bite of the whole meal. Kai (the waiter) was very nice and gave us some advice on what to see along the route. I got an amazing picture that I blew up to hang in our room. Totally recommend giving this place a try!
