Delicious! I came…read moreby here with my friend and got the shrimp head off combo #1. The oysters were so good that I had to get 'em again on my second visit. The Cajun fries are great when they're pipping hot, I highly recommended getting 'em with the spicy mayo sauce. Garlic bread was good! For the shrimp head off, they remove the head and slit the back to devein the shrimp. I personally like it with the head on, but I do notice that the meat is much softer than the head off ver. The king crab legs were delicious. The only issue I had was with the gloves, they're not that great.

Although the flavor profile on the salmon with citrus and saffron was not to my taste it was expertly prepared. All that said we received some of the most neglectful service I have ever had from a very nice server, who for no obvious reason left us alone for most of the meal. It got busier as our time stretched on, but it wasn't slammed and there was plenty of staff. We ordered plenty of food including two bottles of wine. We had to completely finish all of our appetizers before being asked about mains and we sat with empty glasses for ~20 minutes (possibly more) before we flagged someone down to get the second bottle; a bottle we left half drunk because it stretched our evening so long. I might give this place another try but honestly it was one of the most drawn out anticlimactic $400+ birthday celebrations (without desert) I have ever had. We could have done better at home for less.

It's inviting vs the stuffy atmosphere some places have. BABAGANOUSH PITA we got it for the kiddo expecting it to be run of the mill stuff you get. But the babaganoush had the extreme rich flavors of smoked eggplant and felt like almost half an eggplant went in there. Not diluted with tahini, garlic, just pure flavors of eggplant with tanginess of sumac. LITTLE GEM SALAD WITH RAINBOW TROUT was hearty, leafy and very refreshing. The pickled celery was the surprise. HAMACHI CRUDO - beautifully assembled with thoughtfulness, light, refreshing. A bunch of flavor bombs in there so each bite is an adventure. Basil making it refreshing, earthy crunch from hazelnut, sharpness from green onion, sweet tart kiwis. I think a bit of citrus would make this a superstar. Mandolin shaved limes perhaps? GRILLED MAITAKE MUSHROOMS - ok I think this was the chefs most technically impressive dish, with an exercise in playing with bitter profiles and turning it into a master piece. Grilled maitake gets the char from the grill is the first flavor layer, it's woken up by the wild thyme from the zatar. Next the Japanese turnips bring the second dimension with earthy beautiful bitter notes on a bed of a creamy tahini based sauce. It's finished with fresh parsley to bring a fresh element to it. Great stuff. Could raddichio be added to make this more challenging? I saw those crunchy POTATOES and I got them even after eating the meal lol. Do yourself a favor and just get them - they're hot, crunchy and perfect to pair with the vegetables. Finally we got their chocolate mousse with bruleéd bananas sorry couldn't take a picture before it was all gone. Great way to wrap. The staff were all super friendly and helped with picking things from the menu! I got the mystery glass of wine and they had made a fun game out of it. The Beaujolais was great too. Overall when you're surrounded by these amazing farms, vineyards and ocean - no better way than to bring them together - kudos to the creators of the Redwood for making this place with intentionality. I wanted to get the squash, duck pâté, spring pea salad, tinned fish items as well, I guess for next time!

First time and it won't be last. Can't even say anything negative about Starks…read more Me and the homies recently had a boys night and showed up for our 7:45 PM reservation. We arrived a little early and sat at the bar to grab drinks. The bartender was friendly with taking our orders and handing us several menus. At the time of our reservation, I walked along the corridor towards the rear and spoke with the hostess. We were seated immediately (This restaurant is larger on the inside than it appears on the outside). Our server was pleasant and informed us of the specials they had on the menu. I went with the NY Strip, goat cheese Mac n cheese (surprisingly good) and crispy fried calamari. I'm not the biggest fan of calamari, but I will admit that I'm now more willing to try it again if it's prepared how Starks prepares theirs. For the steak, sides, drinks, the total was somewhere around $150 which was to be expected. No disappoints here. I'll add this, if this is your first time going to Starks, be aware that the surrounding area has quite a bit of the unhoused community. Just FYI!

The mixtos ceviche was tangy and wish it came with some chips but it was good when eaten with our meal. The sweet plantains are perfectly crisped. Lomo saltado steak was also perfectly cooked.

Walked in to a completely empty restaurant and two employees sitting at the bar on their phones. They exchanged knowing glances, then the guy walked up to us and said, "yeah, we closed early tonight". No apology, no explanation. First, stick to your posted hours. Second, close and lock your damn door if you're closed. And, did they learn? Nope. About ten minutes later another couple walked in and were promptly shooed out. Bummer, because I really wanted to try Eddie's, but with such poor representation, I won't be back unless they get their poop in a group.

Got some advice from some older fisherman about what to do with our salmon catch last year. Decided…read moreto get the fish cut up professionally, highly recommend doing this. Especially if you don't have a freezer the size of a bathtub to place a couple of whole salmon in. The place is a warehouse and a commercial distribution center. You have to get a workers attention, (easy to do, they're all walking around) and have them lead to into the fish packing area. They ask you to put a hair net on and you go to a small room where a worker is cutting up sports fish. They'll smoke it, cut it into steaks, fillets or lox. Each are vacuum sealed individually so it keeps well and doesn't crowd up your freezer. Highly recommend the lox, a big hit every time we put it out for company. Didn't get a whole lot of favor when they smoked it for me, might do it myself next time.

Am I a *little* crazy for driving 1.5 hours from SF just to try out a new seafood boil spot?…read morePossibly...and left not disappointed. I enjoy more of an "asian" taste when it comes to seafood boil flavors, so the fact that this place has hotpot only made my expectations higher. Prices are fair, and there were empty spots with no line by the time I left (6PM). I ordered 1lb of head on shrimp, clam, and mussel with the combo of potatoes, corn and sausage, with a side of garlic noodles. The highlight is the Simmer Sauce, which is a sweet, spicy, and a little savory/garlicky. The medium packed a kick, so I would definitely get mild for the low spice tolerance people. Shrimp was huge and tasted pretty fresh. Clams varied in size with some clam meat being smaller than others. Mussels were solid, but I noticed we had a couple of closed shells. The garlic noodles paired perfectly with everything, acting both as carbs and great for dipping in the sauce. Although this place beats most if not all seafood boils in the bay area, I had to wait about 30min for my garlic noodles. My server claimed they were making a new batch, but it was a little disappointing having mostly finished everything before they were served. I also had to flag my server down instead of them coming over for updates on my order and getting my bill. The seafood boil came within 10min otherwise though.

We got to sit at the chef's table which provided the best views of exporting and some cooking too. All the staff here seem to love their job and everyone is smiling! I love that! The food was pretty great too. The miso guacamole was handmade from fresh avocados right in front of us. I really enjoyed the fried salt and pepper octopus too. Great sauce accompaniment. The two sandwiches we ordered were very interestingly on grilled bao buns which actually held together pretty well. I personally didn't love the pickled veggies but my husband enjoyed them. The pastrami sandwich was great and paired so well with kimchi. His duck sandwich was heavily doused in hoisin but still cooked really well.

I sat at the bar where there were only 3 others sitting there. It was a Sunday evening and there were still plenty of available tables around 7pm, I got a non alcoholic drink, Garnot Story. It was refreshing. I wasn't very hungry but there were so many opts that had a unique twist so, after speaking with the bartenders I decided on the Smokey Poke and the Chicken wings. The poke was super fresh, light, and had nuts which gave it another dynamic level of flavor and crunch. The chicken wings are full bone in wings including the drum stick part intact. The crispy skin was cooked to perfection and the flavor was like nothing I have tasted before. The goat cheese ranch took the dish to the next level.
