AFTER WORLD CUP MEAL…read more Last Saturday after watching the World Cup quarterfinal between England and Norway I came here to each for a late lunch, which was about close to 5:00 PM. I looked at the specials outside and was intrigued by the NY steak. Since this is fish and chips joint I decided to get the 3-piece fish and chips. (According to the menu the breading was tempura-style.) One thing you can tell if a fish is frozen is if the meat is dry after it is deep fried. That wasn't the case at The City Fish as the meat was moist. I did have a problem with the fries as they were soggy. Due to the texture I couldn't finish the whole serving of fries. I liked the size portion of the fish. The breading on the other hand wasn't tempura style and therefore not crispy enough as I expected. Overall The City Fish is a decent place if you want a quick bite to eat fish and chips.

I almost always get the lobster roll when I eat at Anchors, and I love it, but recently decided to…read moretry their lobster ravioli. Oh my gosh, it was so good. They give you five or six large, pillow-soft raviolis stuffed with lobster in a creamy vodka sauce that also has chunks of lobster and a few halved cherry tomatoes in it. I really liked that the ravioli was not in a tomato-based sauce. I also ordered bread rolls to balance the richness of the ravioli and those were wonderful, too. I'm not sure if I've ever had lobster ravioli before, but I'm definitely a fan.

This hidden food truck is serving up some of the best Fish & Chips in San Francisco!!…read more The awesome part is that they have their own little area, offering up some tables for dining giving it a nice chill vibe. You order up at the window, or they also have a kiosk if they're very busy where you can place your order. First round, I went with the fish and chips. It took about 15 minutes to be ready which was not bad at all (It's made to order as it should be) and took a seat to enjoy. First off, that fish comes out piping hot!! It's also quite a large portion of fish which is much appreciated. Now flavor wise, the cod is absolutely delicious. Perfectly fried and flaky! It comes with tartar sauce which goes so well with the fish! Well it was so good the first time, we went back the next day and got more of the fried cod and also got some of the fried calamari. And WOAH.... Okay, that calamari was amazing!! First off, the batter itself is so well seasoned! If that's not enough, it's served with their homemade chipotle sauce which is so so good. It has a little spicy tangy flavor that goes so well with the calamari! It quickly became one of my favorites.

We tried the famous fish and chips, garlic bread with crab meat and topped with cheese and also the calamari. The fish and Chips you can choose cold slaw or French fries. We opted for the French fries. The fish is so juicy and fresh. One order comes with 4 pieces of fish and a good amount of French fries. They garlic bread with crab and toasted with cheese was really flavorful. It has a relatively decent amount of crab meat. It's fresh crab meat and it's not to salty of fishy like some places. The calamari are small squid pieces but fried to perfection. Not overly seasoned or oily. The tartar sauce was amazing with every item we ordered. Will definitely come back again for the fish and chips

My sister and I came here for some seafood after crabbing on the pier next door. The takeout line…read morewas around 30+ people at 1PM, and it took 45 minutes between us joining the line and receiving our food. The dine-in line was a 2-hour wait when we arrived and had closed for the day by the time we left. In general, I'm not the type of person to wait for food no matter how good it is, and unfortunately I didn't think Barbara's Fishtrap was anything too special. My sister and I shared a mini fish-trap combo, Caesar salad, and a cup of soup-- we had almost 30% leftover. The variety of seafood in the combo is really nice! But I thought the breading was soggy and in general just really needed the sauce for a punch of flavor. The fried zucchini was by far the best thing we ate (it was seriously to-die for), which feels wrong for a seafood combo. :P Service was friendly and were trying their best to help everyone, but wow we could tell they were super overwhelmed. :( Would not come back but glad I tried it, especially with such a neighborhood hype around this place!

Everyone in our group loved their food. We had tacos, and fish and chips. Everything was excellent. I didn't realize it was so casual but it was still a great place to get good fish.

First time here and Unfortunately, our experience wasn't great. Before we ordered, the cashier let…read moreus know the food would take about 30 minutes, which was understandable. However, after placing our order, we ended up waiting over an hour. An employee eventually came over and asked how long we had been waiting. When we told her it had been an hour, she apologized and explained there had been an issue with the order printer. She offered us the choice of a refund or having our food made. We decided to wait, but it still took another 15 minutes before our food was ready. What was most disappointing wasn't just the delay--it was the lack of communication. I noticed there didn't seem to be good communication between the kitchen and the staff taking orders. I wish someone had come to let us know about the issue much earlier instead of leaving us waiting without any updates. A simple update would have made a big difference. To make matters worse, the fish plate I ordered looked nothing like the photos. It was supposed to come with vegetables, rice, or salad, but I substituted the sides for fries. The portion was very small, with only a little fish and a small amount of fries, especially for a $28 plate. Considering the long wait and that the delay was caused by their mistake, I feel they could have done something to make it right, such as offering a larger portion or another gesture of goodwill. Overall, the lack of communication, the long wait, and the disappointing portion size made this a frustrating experience. Great location in Moss Landing with beautiful views, but the experience dint match the setting.

DISAPPOINTED,,,,, We've been going to Phil's for over 30…read moreyears, first at the original location in Moss Landing and more recently at the new location in Castroville. We've always been pleased, but not this past Sunday. We met friends for dinner, and we were both disappointed. I found the Prawn Fettucini Alfredo to be under-cooked. The prawns were fine, but the pasta wasn't fully cooked, and it had the taste and feel of uncooked flour. My side salad had far too much dressing and the mixed greens were very wilted. My companion ordered the Shrimp Skewer Salad. It was swimming in dressing and like my small salad it was made up primarily of wilted greens. We also thought that, given the poor quality of the meal, $22 for her salad and $32 for my pasta were definitely on the high side, especially at a place where you order your food at a counter and then dine in what amounts to "school lunch rom" ambience.

The drive from Moss Landing to Castroville was brief and easy, and parking at the new location was convenient. The restaurant was spacious, and since it was a weekday, it wasn't busy at all. We were promptly greeted by the host, who led us to choose our table and seats. We placed our orders quickly, and the wait time for our food and beverages was short. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious, except for the fried shrimp, which was a bit salty. I recommend this place to seafood lovers!

I liked the empanadas the best since the crust was crispy and flaky and it was completely filled with chicken. The place is huge so the ambiance is less quaint. Our waitress was good but she didn't have to find the wine we ordered as it never came. When our wine glasses were empty we had to ask for it to be refilled. The place was busy in a Thursday at 6:30 pm. It's on the more expensive side $$$$

Checked out this well-known Peruvian restaurant over the weekend, located right next to Pier 1…read more They offer both a tasting menu and an à la carte menu. We decided to order à la carte so we could choose all of our favorites. Overall, everything was absolutely delicious, and the ingredients were incredibly fresh. The price is expensive though and the service was quite slow as the restaurant got very busy. My favorite dish was their signature Gran Bandeja Cebichera, a chilled seafood platter featuring ceviche, crab topped with purple sweet potato purée, charcoal-seared nigiri, sashimi, octopus, and jumbo prawns. Every bite was fresh and vibrant, and the variety of sauces created a wonderful balance of bright citrus, natural sweetness, and umami. It was layered, refreshing, and full of flavor. Among the hot dishes, I especially loved the whole charcoal-grilled cauliflower, served with eggplant purée, crispy garlic chips, and a sweet pepper sauce. It had a beautifully charred exterior while remaining tender inside, with an amazing smoky aroma. If you enjoy cocktails, their Pisco Sour is a must-try. As Peru's most iconic cocktail, it strikes a perfect balance between sweet and tart, making it crisp, and refreshing.
