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. It had a lot of clams and potatoes. It was flavorful and rich... very good. The ambience is casual, nothing fancy. It is a great pit stop for a quick meal.

The food here is decent, but my experience was a mixed bag when it comes to value and service. The…read moreabsolute highlight was the clam chowder--it's a 10/10 and reminded me of classic SF chowder from the early 2010s. I would absolutely order it again. However, the Fishermen's Cioppino was a letdown for the price. At $48 (plus $6 for the chowder), the bowl was about 70% broth. It only came with half a crab, two mussels, two clams, and a tiny sliver of fish. Even knowing the current market price for half a crab is around $35, the portion size just didn't justify the cost. To make matters worse, you have to constantly ask for bread to soak up all that extra broth, which got annoying. Service was okay, but a bit frustrating. The staff is somewhat attentive but kept forgetting minor requests, like bringing me a bib. Next time I visit, I'm sticking strictly to a bowl of that clam chowder and calling it a day.

Moscato wine was delicious and sweet. For the main plate I got the Prawn Pasta and it was so delicious, homemade noodles with scallions, tomatoes, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, and 6 huge shrimp and some white sauce! By far the best pasta I have had. My fiancé even said it was the best he has had also. He got the ribeye steak and it needed more seasoning or salt but it was still good! Portion sizes were pretty good for the price. Grabbed their crème brûlée for desert and it was also delicious, sugar wasn't too burnt or too crunchy. The cream was soft, and semisweet - definitely not overpowering. I would 100% come here again! Not from the area but will absolutely be on our list to come again. Staff was incredibly kind and friendly, we loved our server and was funny! The hostess was also very kind and welcoming. A little small and crowded but vibes were great! Place, service, and food 10/10!

So the hostess gave us a time later in the evening and we came back. Once you're in, you're family. This is a super casual spot. One medium size room filled in every corner with tables and chatter. There's a bar on one side, and savvy locals I presume, having a beer and dinner. Our four had a table right in the middle of it, and it was wonderful, I got some crab cakes, the rest of the table got seafood pasta in various formats. And a bottle of wine to share among three of us. Oh the oysters? Idk I think I was expecting the little precious ones you get at the fancy oyster bars. So we ordered a half dozen raw AND also a half dozen of the famous smoked ones. But WOW, these were huge, and "rustic" like a good homemade loaf of bread. So 12 of these huge oysters shared among the 4 of us was more than enough!

This place is rude, short, and the clam chowder was mid. I was also overcharged, after being…read moretreated poorly. Not worth the hassle in my opinion, but I led my family to the wrong restaurant and the kids were hungry so we made the best of it and just ordered to go here, but it wasn't the best of it and if you want to know why, keep reading. Let's start with the gentlemen that took our order. He asked us "for here or to go?" We say "TO GO". He asks the waiter to give us a menu, the waiter gives us a menu, the gentleman see's us looking at the menu, and then we order. I order 3 bowls of clam chowder. He fills these little cups and I say "excuse me, what are these?", "I point to the larger cups on the counter with a big label that say $13.95 (or .99 I can't remember). He says these are for soup. (Well duh, but why are we not getting the large size?) I said for all soup? He said yes. I said what size is that. He says it's bigger than a bowl. (Again still avoiding telling me what he's doing). At this point, I'm confused. I ordered a "bowl" from the menu that THEY handed us. It was $14.9 something for a LARGE in the menu, so I assumed it was that large on the counter, but he's attempting to pout me a small size for the price of the large. He says no that size (points to the large one on the counter) is for to go. I said yes we ordered to go. Then the woman comes out who I'm assuming is a manger and says. Yea these (and points to the ones on the counter) are the ones to go. I said yea, we wanted to go. And she said yea he thought because you ordered from that menu, that you wanted that size bowl (the small bowl). I said how? He's the one that told the waiter to give us that menu after he asked us for here or to go. So the gentleman is upset as if I did something wrong, but I'm even more upset because his solution is that I buy another big one and the 3 small ones. I tell him I would just like 3 big ones that are the to go ones on the counter since I ordered 3 large and they were to go. He does what I asks, but with an attitude that he didn't care to hide and he says he needs help and the same woman goes over there and checks us out, she says it's $71.35 and now I'm thinking that's a big jump, but okay maybe taxes? I look at my bank and they charged me $74.34. So please let's do the math. $13.95 x 3 =$41.85 then on their regular menu it says oysters and chips are $21.95. So $21.95 + the $41.85 came out to $63.80 and you're telling me I paid $10 in tax? Lol bye! It looks like they still charged us off their "dine in" menu, even though we clarified "to go". Even tho the label on the counter said $13.95. I guess at least we didn't have to leave with those small bowls for that price. Let me just say this too, if it was so important which menu we ordered from shouldn't the gentlemen pouring the soup, had been more specific on which menu to use? Why ask us, then give us the wrong menu?
