The ambiance was beautiful, with piano music during our Saturday visit and thoughtfully tiered seating that gives everyone a great view of the ocean. We started with complimentary bread and butter, which was good, but the Caesar salad was the standout. The sourdough croutons made it especially delicious. A definite 5/5! We tried both the steak frites and the New York steak. Both were cooked exactly as ordered, wonderfully juicy, and had a smoky flavor that took them to the next level. Another 5/5. We finished with a complimentary birthday cake, along with coffee and tea, which was a lovely way to end the meal. The service was excellent throughout. The staff kept our water filled, checked in regularly, and graciously took plenty of photos for us with the beautiful scenery. 5/5 A fantastic birthday experience from start to finish. I can't wait to come back!

I enjoyed the fish tacos--everything seemed very fresh. I did however remember having to add quite a bit of season for my preference, so I thought it could have had more flavor overall. The garlic bread was tasty as well, I definitely could have eaten a lot more if it before my entree came! Parking can be tough to find in this area, but if you eat here, you get free parking included. I will say I do think this was a bit overpriced, but that's also somewhat to be expected in this area.

An absolute gem on Pillar Point Harbor! My family and I visited on a Friday afternoon, cutting it close right before their 3 PM break. Despite how busy the restaurant was wrapping up lunch service, our experience was completely made by our server. She was an absolute mermaid at heart--warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind from the inside out! Even during the end-of-lunch rush, she treated us with so much care and grace. It is so rare to run into customer service that feels this authentic and sweet, and her energy truly brightened our whole day. On top of the wonderful hospitality, the seafood was incredibly fresh and piping hot, the clam chowder hit the spot, and you can't beat the harbour views with free parking right out front. Huge thank you to our incredible server for making us feel so at home. 10/10 recommend Barbara's Fishtrap!

The only small downside is when you sit outside. There are glass panels around the seating area, so you can see the ocean, but I wish they were clearer or not there at all. It would be much nicer to have an unobstructed view of the ocean. But honestly, that's a very small thing. The food was good, the atmosphere was great, and I really enjoyed my time there.

My fiance was not a fan of the table that they sat me at while he parked the car so when he came in he asked if we could switch. They were more than happy to accommodate and we got a new table facing the ocean view window, but not next to it, because those are reservation only, completely understandable. Our server came by and was very friendly and took our order immediately. We decided to start with the poached shrimp cocktail and for our mains we ordered the pesto stuffed salmon with wild rice and the citrus beet salad with chicken added. After we finished our appetizer the hostess came by to kindly request we switch tables as they had a large party coming in. She took us over to a beautiful table right next to the window with an amazing view of the ocean! We were super thrilled! Our food came shortly after and I have to say the salmon was impeccably delicious. The assortment of fresh vegetables was wonderful, artichoke hearts, string beans, carrots and more cooked beautifully. My fiance really enjoyed his grilled chicken over the top of his beet and citrus salad. We actually switched plates for a bit because we wanted to enjoy each other's meals. We ended the meal with a cup of coffee that was strong bold and just my type. We also had the mango coconut a top buttery biscuit dessert and it was the perfect sweetness to end our meal.

Everything on the menu is top notch and the service is nothing short of it. All the servers are great! Eric is always the best. After trying the entire menu, I'd say the Kashiwa secret box is the best value. Always a fan of the hand rolls (especially the spicy scallop), beef teriyaki plate, and their bluefin lovers roll. Sleeper items include the mushroom tempura, the bbq squid (entire squid for $18!), and shima aji nigiri special. Ambiance is great. Very lucky to have a place so local that's Japan-tier quality.

The real downside - the service. The most recent visit was slow and non-existent, and we weren't able to get a table, with only one person on the floor in the front house hosting, serving, and bussing. The person was working hard, which is commendable, yet didn't acknowledge people coming in (in addition to us) with a "I'll be right with you" or "We're short-handed"...barely even a glance actually at all. Can't really fault them; they were setup to fail. We went to Soul Rice instead. There are other options.
