    Jr bacon cheeseburger
    Darci Y.

    I made a reservation for 7pm stating in the reservation it was for my birthday... nothing was said the entire meal. Why ask if there is a special celebration if it isnt recognized at all? The inside has no AC... or it wasn't working if they did. I would have sat outside had I known... We were sat immediately and drink orders taken but then it took a while for them to arrive. Then my husband and son ordered half a dozen oysters and our server disappeared for a good 30 minutes. Oysters came and were eaten and he still had not come back to get our dinner order. My other 3 kids were very hungry and asked when the food was coming and I had to explain we hadnt ordered the food yet. We got 2 lobster boils, one shell cracked, one non cracked, halibut, scallops with asparagus, jr bacon cheeseburger and grilled cheese. My lobster lacked flavor..usually it is served with butter that is salted and lemon. The butter almost was magarine.. not actual butter..and no lemon. The bread wasnt buttered either. For $56, I expect more. The jr bacon cheeseburger also lacked flavor. I am not sure they seasoned the meat... the grilled cheese was good but the side of tomato dipping sauce was cold.. The halibut was absolutely delicious as were the scallops. I was eating my son's leftover asparagus when the server came and took the plate away... apparently I wasn't supposed to finish his food. I got the blackberry lemonade cocktail and the alcohol content was weak. I'm Asian and lack the enzyme that processes alcohol (look up Asian glow or Asian red face when drinking alcohol)... and normally cannot finish a cocktail because of that.... and this is was able to down with no issues. Overall, with the reviews I expected much more. We are visiting from AZ and have better lobster there... which is ridiculous since this restaurant is right next to the ocean and AZ clearly is not.

    Scallops and asparagus
    Sunday B.

    Came for an early dinner and had no problem getting seated! We sat in the patio and it was a beautiful night. We got the scallops with asparagus, grilled fish tacos, cookies with ice cream for dessert. 5/5 Scallops were beautifully made with the most flavorful citrus lime sauce 3/5 fish tacos- fish was dry but the sauce was really yummy. Wouldn't get it again. 3/5 cookies were too sweet for me...couldn't even finish one. (I rarely meet a chocolate chip cookie I don't inhale) Would definitely come back and try some more things. I have my eye on a few things already!

    What an awesome place! Came here to do a late bday celebration for my husband & I.To begin we had a sparkling rose and a 4 sons hazy IPA. Then had crispy calamari as an appetizer. My husband had a lobster cheeseburger and I had the Calico cioppino. Both dishes were so good! Service the best. Since it was a very hot day, we sat inside and the noise level was good.

    Holy moly this place is so yummy! Great replacement for the tired restaurant that was here before. Calico uses no seed oils- and many of the items are naturally gluten-free or can be easily prepared that way. I haven't been able to have poke and I can't tell you how long... So when I saw it was gluten free, I had to order it! The portion sizes are great. I could barely finish my whole meal... But I left stuffed! My girlfriend ordered fish tacos. They were on the lighter side, but she said they were absolutely delicious. I would definitely come back. Service was amazing and the decor of the restaurant is just coastal perfection

    Our server Riley was super attentive, fun and helpful!
    Amy S.

    Loved having my birthday brunch on the best patio Huntington has to offer. Our server, Riley was absolutely on top of it, super friendly and did great with our table of 5 adults, plus a child and a dog. We got things rolling with apps and drinks. Our first course started with lobster deviled eggs, calamari and smoked salmon. Everything was fresh and delish. All 5 adults ordered something different as a main, from lobster burger to fish and chips. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Such a fun inviting atmosphere to spend an afternoon with my sweet friends and family. Dog friendly patio is always a plus!

    Ceviche
    Timothy B.

    We were seated on the deck immediately after arriving. Our server quickly left water and took our drink order. For an appetizer we had the sweet & salty rolls with lobster butter. They were outstanding! Melted in the mouth without the butter. The food arrived quickly after ordering. The clam chowder was very good. The ceviche has a great flavor and a bit of spice with fresh jalapeños and seasoned homemade chips. The lobster and shrimp ramen was full of shrimp and noodles. Very good! I definitely recommend Calico Fish House!

    HH menu
    Shalin E.

    Clean establishment, fair size bar with several smaller tv's for games. Large free parking lot. We came to check out the happy hour which was a bit lack luster (photos attached). Raw oysters looked the most appealing, we ordered 10. All were smaller than the size of a half dollar, no oyster forks available and minimal hot sauce options. The regular menu had a large selection, prices are higher than other local spots. This was experience was average overall including service. Location is convenient and due to the size probably doesn't experience long wait times.

    Lobster cheeseburger
    Janice C.

    Since we were by to ocean, it would only make sense to get a seafood meal in! Decided to give it a try since it has pretty good rating on yelp. Got sat down within 30-40mins after we checked in. We started of with half split dozen oyster between Pacific and Washington, I wish our food runner was able to introduce or point out which is which since they look pretty similar. Regardless, they all tasted firm and fresh. Cioppino has a nice blend of seafood cooked just perfectly in the well-seasoned broth. Cheeseburger got a good chunk of lobster and match just right with the brioche. I would love to visit again.

    I was able to reserve a reservation about three weeks ago from Mother's Day brunch. They have a reasonably priced menu for Sundays after church, perfect place on a nice warm day by the beach. I ordered the cioppino, my son ordered their brown butter, chicken, and the other one with the photo not pictured ordered steak Frites. The calamari was also excellent. Definitely a great price point for the location, service was impeccable, and the restaurant is clean. I love visiting here and will come back!

    Fish and Chips
    Sean W.

    We had a group of 6 that all ordered the fish and chips. We all liked it! Big pieces of fish heavily battered and crunchy the fries were ok in my opinion little thick and undercooked but ok. Service was good left us drink less for a bit.. kind of bugs me personally but all in all good food. Nice place to sit and eat outside. I would definitely come here again.

    Clam chowder
    Shae B.

    The service was great and everyone was very friendly. The outdoor dining is very nice. The food however was not that good in my opinion. I got clam chowder minus the bacon, and the crispy fish tacos. My daughter ordered the shrimp fried rice. I expected the clam chowder to be amazing considering it's coming from a fish house on the beach, but it tasted like it came from a can. The tacos were not that flavorful. The only thing that was decent was the shrimp fried rice. Very nice locals and friendly people! I'm giving them a 2 only because the people were really friendly. Spend your money on better seafood!

    Steph M.

    We stopped in for brunch and were really impressed! The smoked salmon from the brunch menu was amazing, and they definitely don't skimp on the portion size. The mango shrimp salad was fresh and delicious. My only suggestion would be to serve the shrimp chilled instead of warm, but it was still very flavorful. We'll definitely be back! Next time I'm looking forward to trying the clam chowder.

    Oysters
    Monica R.

    Stopped by here on a Wednesday for happy hour. The $1.5 oysters were a steal! They were fresh and tasty. The fish tacos were perfect and the sauces complimented the taco really well. The clam chowder was not as creamy as I thought but not too bad. The disco fries were a nice little treat. The service was good and the ambiance was nice especially outside.

    How much is the corkage?

    15$

    Is it true that they allow dogs in the restaurant? (That is my concern after reading one of the reviews.) This seems unhygienic and a health code violation.

    Go away Karen.

    Would it be possible to make reservations?

    We are currently not taking reservations unless it’s a party of 8+

    How do you make reservations when the phone # doesn't work?

    Not sure on that, that's not good at all, but maybe try Facebook and leave a message for them there? https://www.facebook.com/CalicoFishHouse good luck!!!

    Is there a HH? If not, do they ever plan to have one?

    Right now it doesn't look like it, but it might be best to call the restaurant itself and speak to the owners for plans! That way you get the absolute correct answer!

    Do they charge a corkage fee?

    Yes, it's $15

    What happened to Fish Camp?

    It closed down last year.

Whether I get a seat at the bar, a table, or just grab a drink near the well, I rarely have to wait long. The employee that has stood out the most has been Angela. With her service, interactions, suggestions, etc. she has stood out amongst the rest. There was one other, but, sadly, I can't remember her name. She had fantastic energy though. Food: 3/5 Food is good for a sports bar. Better than you'd expect from others, but nothing really memorable. Ambiance: 3/5 If you come during off hours, it's very nice. Mellow, locals during happy hour, quite. If you come past 8/9 pm, especially on the weekends or during bigger sports events, it is a zoo. The demographic changes drastically, while you can still find locals, it is overshadowed by a much younger crowd (I'd guess 21-25). The music is often unbearably loud and makes it almost impossible to converse with someone even sitting right next to you.

My only complaint is parking, but I'm lucky enough to have gotten a slot just before giving up. Fantastical Funghi: It's one of those rare moments where you get a pizza that maintains its quality from the first bite to the drive home and the reheating process. My main complaint when eating truffle or heavy mushroom-related food is that the truffle essence rarely lasts longer than the first 2-3 bites. Such a concern is not an issue for this pizza, as I've had this pizza more than once, and the taste generally stays the same regardless of how you eat it. My favorite is the ricotta cheese, you could really feel the difference that it makes every time you get a bite with it. Kokomocha: You love mocha, but you can't find a Porter/Stout that suits your taste. Look no further. I would say the taste ratio is 30% alcohol and 70% mocha. Enough alcohol to know that it will hit down the line, but more than enough mocha to enjoy it as its own. Ambiance: Beautiful. I would love to have lunch here on the weekend.
