I had reservations for 5:30. My family checked in at 5:15 and they were told there would be a delay. When I arrived at 5:20 I checked in myself. I walked up to the hostess podium and I was ignored. Then I said that I was checking in for 5:30p reservations and the hostess said " that's gonna be much later than. I'll probably get your party in closer to 6:30p." Obviously I was upset by this response since we drove over an hour to this restaurant for the sole purpose of a celebration of life. If reservations were going to be ignored then I would not have bothered making them in a timely matter as I was instructed to do by the organizer of the evening. I basically got the brush off like there was nothing they could do since people were not leaving (including walk-ins) after a 90 min dining limit was posted outside. I was very peeved about this response and said clearly that is not my problem yet I am being penalized. My first encounter with the hostess carried throughout my visit. Our servers name was Linda and she took our drink order as soon as we were seated, however it did seem to take a while for our drinks to arrive. Apologies were made again for the wait but at this point it was clear there was gonna be an issue throughout the meal. I ordered a Caprese salad with brussels sprouts to share family style .When my salad arrived there was no basil. It was just mozzarella and tomatoes, balsamic and olive oil with a dried herb sprinkled on top. When I asked my server if this is how the Caprese is served she said yes. I never had a Caprese with no leaves of basil. Needless to say it's not what I wanted nor expected. My sprouts were dry and overcooked. Linda was truly trying to be accommodating. I could tell she is working very hard to satisfy our group despite the fact the restaurant was packed. Linda was great. We decided to share key lime pie and the warm butter cake w/ ice cream and raspberry sauce. The key lime pie was fine. The warm butter cake was a bit different as it had a hard sugar top. Ice cream with raspberry sauce on the side as well as below. It was too much sauce for my taste. More like a jelly doughnut. My blueberry pomegranate margarita was the best part of my meal. There were so many things that may seem small but were enhanced because I was already upset. The fact the restaurant overly committed and couldn't handle the amount of people was a real issue. read more

I can only speak about my food. Since they claim they have the best fish & chips that's what I got. Fish, nice big pieces. Perfectly battered and crispy. The fries were seasoned well and maybe a little battered to lock in the flavor. It came out piping hot and fresh! So, yes I agree. The BEST fish and chips! Coleslaw was bland and had raisins. That visually was a turn off for me. Coleslaw didn't have enough dressing and was more like a cabbage salad. I don't remember any condiments on the tables. It would have been nice to have at least salt and pepper. Other items my table ordered: Caprese salad NO basil. You really can't call it Caprese salad then. Brussel sprouts. They were okay but definitely had too much of a "roasted" flavor (aka burnt). I could only eat a couple. Cioppino was okay. Again I wish it had more garlic and flavor. The sauce seemed more like marinara than a wine broth. We were there for a luau memorial. One of the regular musicians wife passed away. She was a regular and loved person at Simply Fish and in the Hawaiian community. We made reservations like we were instructed to do so. When we checked in ON TIME, we were told we would maybe be seated in an hour. The hostesses were kinda flippant and dismissive to the fact we followed the rules and made a proper reservation. They even said in front of us that more people came than expected who did NOT have reservations. It was the attitude of the hostesses that were unprofessional. I understand it was a memorial for a VERY loved individual but why punish the people who followed the rules? We did make a reservation. We did get seated only because another member of the community gave up their table and left early. It was a crazy busy night. Our server Linda was fantastic. She was still able to deliver fast and efficient service. We really appreciate her aloha and service. She was very fond of Auntie Consuelo too and it really showed. She was really helpful in ordering our food. The rest of the table wanted dessert. They ordered key lime pie and butter cake. I think the key lime pie was the better one of the two because that disappeared first. Butter cake looked like they torched it like a creme brûlée. I'm no pastry chef or connoisseur but that butter cake did not look like a butter cake. Calling the processed sauce coulis doesn't make it taste better. It still tasted like it came out of can. For MY food and service, it would have been 5 stars. All the food overall took away the 2 stars. read more

Came into Simply Fish on a pretty chill night and it wasn't busy, so the staff seemed a little slow and low energy. We were greeted and seated pretty quickly, ordered our food, then realized we didn't get any utensils, so we had to wait a few minutes before we could actually eat. Once we did though, the food was really good. read more

How did I not know about Simply Fish Seafood sooner?! Think of California Fish Grill on steroids! I'm so glad my friends introduced me to this place, and we even got seated next to the owner, Derek, who was so pleasant, kind, and humble. He and his staff went above and beyond, and made us feel so special. We came on St. Patrick's Day, which was perfect for their Taco Tuesday specials. We ordered a ton of food, and nothing disappointed. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. When it comes to seafood, it is usually a hit or miss for me, and items such as fish are easily overcooked. Not here. We got the CIOPPINO $22, with fettuccine $7 extra, ROCKIN' SHRIMP TACOS $3.50 each, a battered fish taco $4, a FILET MIGNON TACO $4.50 (special prices on Taco Tuesday), SHRIMP TAQUITOS (5 for $12), the WARM SEAFOOD SALAD w/ lime vinaigrette $23, and the SEABASS with rice/French fries $16. My favorites include the cioppino, Rockin' shrimp tacos (their best-selling taco), the shrimp taquitos, and the warm seafood salad. The tacos were huge and delicious as well. The fish taco was a little salty. Their menu is extensive, and they even have a SECRET MENU for more options. Could it get any better?! They even have LIVE ENTERTAINMENT on Wed, and Fri through Sun, although reservations are required on Fridays I believe, for their Tribute to Frank Sinatra and their classic 70s/80s/90s night. I definitely need to come back soon. This may be my favorite place in OC for seafood now. Fine dining quality at an affordable price, not to mention huge portions and great value! You can even order lobster tails and steak here, or add them onto your entree for an additional cost. This is the BEST RESTAURANT I have eaten at so far in 2026. Happy eating!

I haven't been here in a while. Came back recently and noticed Simply Fish went upscale :). They have live music at dinner time. One-man band. Good entertainment. My spicy salmon salad was good but it would have been nicer to get the center cut of the salmon instead of end pieces. Salmon was a tad fishy. 4/5 My husband had the fish & chips and that was good. 5/5 Service was good. read more

Good seafood and friendly staff. The space is one room with a high ceiling, but it felt cramped with how close the tables are to each other. Long wait time for dinner when we went on a Friday night, and service was a bit slow since it was packed, but staff eventually checked in to make sure we got everything. Orange roughy with fries and grilled zucchini: 3/5. The fish tasted plain, as it was very mildly seasoned. The creamy sauce was quite skimpy, and it didn't really add much flavor to the dish, but the lemon helped a little. Apps/sides such as clam chowder, calamari, and breaded scallops: 5/5. We enjoyed these a lot - they were addictive and had great textures. Definitely group pleasers. Location is in a small plaza off Harbor Blvd and Adams Ave. Free parking in the lot is available, and we didn't have any issue finding a spot even though it was a busy in the plaza. read more

Last night my family and I went to Simply Fish for dinner. I've been passing it on my way home for years and always meant to stop in, and this finally gave us a reason to go. My sister had the clam chowder bowl. Both of my nieces ordered bowls as well--one had a rock shrimp bowl and the other had a salmon bowl. I ordered the filet mignon skewer with a 4-ounce lobster. We also shared the sampler as an appetizer, but I didn't get a photo because it disappeared pretty quickly. Everyone really enjoyed their food. They had live music playing, which was actually really nice. When we arrived around 8:30 PM, the restaurant was very full and we got the last table, but we never felt rushed. We were able to take our time, enjoy the music, and relax. My skewer was tender and well seasoned. The lobster was small since it was a 4-ounce portion, but the meat was still very tender and flavorful. As for service, our server was very kind but a bit forgetful and on the slower side getting things back to us. That could have been because it was busy when we first arrived, but even later in the evening when it had cleared out, that was still the case. He may have been in training, so I'm not holding it completely against him. There was another man and woman who came around and delivered our food, and they were much better. I won't take off any stars for the service, but I do think a little more training would be helpful. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a while, and decided to come in on a Friday at 2:30. Lucky for me it was happy hour menu! We tried the lobster roll and that was $35 if you get two it's $60. I got the three taco selection and for happy hour. It's only $12. Even beers on draft at happy hour is six dollars each, which are all really reasonable prices. The menu is huge. I had a hard time deciding and thoughts and this was my first time I wanted to give something off their happy hour menu a try. Their service is excellent and they have a live. Frank Sinatra impersonator on Friday evenings and a jazz singer on Saturday evening evenings. The place is fairly large cozy and has a diner type feel . I wouldn't mind coming back to try other dishes . read more

We won't be returning. The service was extremely disappointing. We came in around 1:50PM for a late lunch on 4/4/26 and were assigned a blonde server. Unfortunately, she never brought husband's drink, even after main course had already arrived. To make matters worse, hubby's appetizer came out after the main course, which made the whole experience feel very disorganized. She was also quite rude and didn't check in on us at all. When we were leaving, she simply walked past without acknowledging us. I do want to give credit where it's due--the gentleman who kept refilling our water was kind and attentive, and he was honestly the only positive part of our visit. The food itself was good, but the poor service completely overshadowed it. It might be worth retraining staff to provide better customer service, because experiences like this lose customers. read more

So they have OC WEEKLY which sounds great. However I got the bundle with shrimp taquitos, fish and chips, and the sad ass salad. For $38, mind you the shrimp taquitos are $13 for 5 and fish and chips is $16 thats $29 supposed to have an option of clam chowder or salad. Guess what theyre out of clam chowder you can settle for lobster bisque or sad ass salad. When I brought it to their attention that this wasn't really a deal becuz instead of 5 taquitos I got 3. I was willingly to over pay on the taquitos they came back we can offer you dessert. No I didnt eat the salad and I dont want dessert. But my wonderful waiter was able to accommodate me. Thats good service. And I really my food except the salad lol read more

I can't believe I've lived in Costa Mesa for almost a year now and have only tried this place today. The menu is vast and there is a choice for everyone. We ordered the Sunday special which had lobster and steak on rice. My god, what a deal. Service was amazing and we never had to wait too long to have someone come ask us if we needed anything. We made same day reservations for 4 pm on a Sunday so it was not too crowded. The place is very clean and the vibe felt like a local gem seafood diner. Parking is plentiful. We will definitely be back. read more

It's a casual seafood restaurant but the food is as good as all the fine dining. They have many menu choices as well as daily specials and limited alcohol/wine selection. We had fish & chip, warm seafood salad and side of grilled zucchini. Fish & chip is definitely one of the best I've ever had: flaky with a perfectly fried thin crust. It's not fancy but service and food are top notch. Will go back for other selections next time. read more

Came here for lunch. The staff is friendly and helpful with answering questions. The place has a casual vibe and the tables are pristine. We started with margaritas, got oysters for appetizers, and surf and turf for entrees. Margaritas- They make them strong which is always appreciated. The regular one is limey and refreshing and the mango marg is sweet and fruity. Oysters- Fresh and meaty! Came with different condiments and sauces so it was fun to mix and match with each sample. Surf and Turf- We got the baseball cut steak which was cooked to preference. The meat is nice and juicy and perfectly seared. The lobster is fresh and tasty. I love the seasoning on it which pairs well with the sauces offered. Rice pilaf is buttery and fluffy and the mixed veggies provided a lovely balance to the meal. Great meal overall! read more

I've been meaning to try this place based on yelp suggestions. I finally got a craving and packed my 4 yr old in the car to try some seafood. He's a big fan of shrimp and I saw they had a kids menu. The place itself is tucked in a strip mall across from the Vons shopping center. The place is small but had a nice atmosphere. They've got fish on the walls so my son got excited pointing out the kinds of fish he knew. Linda was our server and she was very warm and friendly. My son had the shrimp skewers with French fries and black beans. He loved it. He also had a bite of chocolate cake for making good choices. He was a major fan of the chocolate cake. I tried the poke and it was delicious. I also opted for the asparagus and grilled veggies as my sides. They had a full menu of beer and wine options from what I saw and the food on the menu is accompanied by a picture so you could see what you're getting. It was a great lunch and we'll be back! read more

The food here is amazing and the service is great. They have live entertainment on certain nights. It's a vibe!

I saw that they were featuring a "Frank Sinatra" impersonator tonight so we rushed over for the early seating. We are both big fans of Mr Sinatra. We had so much fun. The parking was easy. The restaurant is cozy but cool. The crowd featured a significant number of "seniors". The menu is vast and features all the seafood you expect. My fish and chips was excellent, even the coleslaw was delish! My companions "poke tuna bowl" was also fresh and expertly dressed and delicious. The service was very friendly and attentive. The beer was cold and the entertainment was great. We both had so much fun! We brought plenty of leftovers home for lunch tomorrow! read more

3.5/5. Decided to try this restaurant on a Friday and we did not make reservations since it was last minute but we waited about 35 minutes before getting seated. They do have plenty of parking which is nice. The restaurant itself is not too large but definitely cozy seating with high ceilings and they had singers entertaining us which was neat. We waited about 10+ minutes until one of the hosts saw us and decided to jump in to take our order which we appreciated. We started off with the clam chowder and crab cakes. The clam chowder wasn't too bad, wish it was hotter in temperature. The crab cakes came out quick and was slightly on the dry side. For our main entrees we had the swordfish and the shrimp/lobster. Both came with sides and I highly recommend getting the brussel sprouts because they were cooked very well. My swordfish was slightly overcooked and the shrimp was bit chewy. The portions are very generous for the price as this place does have reasonable prices for seafood. No one really checked in on us throughout our dinner and we finally flagged someone down for the check. read more

Simply Fish Seafood - Are family - Fish & Chips Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I simply wanted to try this place. It had the "look" and that was the hook having driven by a time or two. A swirl of Whale Gray and Ocean Blue on the floor works it's way onto and around the booths. The decor had the feel of an upscale Upholstery Shop in TJ. Think The Nautilus gets a Tuck 'n Roll. Look around and you might decide if Jonah ended up inside this Whale's stomach he might not have complained. Pull the fish handle front door open and the Hostee will greet you and seat you. You will be handed a stack of material to peruse. A book as long as the rough draft of Moby Dick along with a hand full of separate laminated offerings of Craft Beer here, Basic Wine, which is fine, Desserts till it hurts, Specials and a Photo Album like a Graduation Annual of Simply's Greatest Hits. The Staff: Patient and helpful as an Urgent Care facility and just as clean. Jesus went over the entire menu fish by fish. Thank you, Jesus. Comfy booths, more than reasonable prices, who could ask for anything more? Me. As soon as digest the menu options and order the food, things start to fly (swim) out of the kitchen. There is no pacing, rhyme or reason to food service. You order it, you're gonna get it, and eat it right now. It's the "fast" part of Fast Casual. Everything arrives at once. So, if you have to catch a plane or a concert you're in great shape. The Food: The fish is wild caught and fresh. Best to go early, I think. The early fish catches the smelt and everything smelt good. No smoke billowing out of the kitchen, no grease splattering all over the walls, no paint peeling off the ceiling from the heat of the Grill. But, it all comes out at the same time. You came here to eat and so Simply delivers. (They also do deliver if you are compelled to dine on the Sofa in your Sweats). My dining adventure began with the House Salad which was served with an insipid Cilantro Avocado Dressing in a cup on the side. It was a small plate of simple greens waiting to be dressed. It's still waiting. The common denominator between Cilantro, Avocado and this Dressing is that all three are green. While nibbling at the Salad, the Calamari Fritti appeared. Hard to beat a good Calamari Frite. My Rings and Tentacles fought back. They were a bit chewy. Good if you're a Dachshund. Calamari needs to be par boiled for 60 seconds then dunked in an ice bath before breading and frying, but what do I know? This Calamari needed a Spa Treatment. The Cup of Salsa masquerading as Marinara was nice and helped perk up the Salad too. The bottom line was that this was just a Squid Game and not Calamari Fritti to make Massimo Bottura smile. The Cajun Blackened Halibut nestled between the Salad and Calamari and had the right idea. A large square of Hali Filet filled the plate. It had a slight bite of pleasant heat. Fork in, a piece pulled away from the corpus. It was sadly a click dry. If the Line Cook has to ask himself "Hmmm...I wonder if the fish is done?" It's already overcooked. A minute less in heat would have blessed this dish. The Brown Rice was, well, just Brown Rice. The Cole Slaw was just plain blah. The Mahi Mahi was exhausted from swimming from Hawaii. It too was flirting with being dry. This came with Black Beans in a supporting role. More juice than Bean it had me wishing I brought my Travel Pack of Tapatio and Cholula. In all fairness most of both fishes came home with me. At room temp the next morning they were serviceable as a platform for two Farm Fresh Eggs just set. I support small business. I support this business. It could have been better and hopefully management takes this review with a grain of Salt or at least sprinkles some on the food and fishes the fish out of the oven or off the grill before the thrill is gone. Cook it quicker and send it to the table slower. Simply Fish...keep it simple. Fish on. read more

Is this the most adventurous must go place? No. But is it a quiet friendly spot that serves generous portions of decent quality seafood dishes? Absolutely. I keep going for the taco Tuesday special, which is like 2 generous tacos for 12 bucks with sides and a drink. Can't complain in this economy. Clientele every time I've gone has been a little on the older side, so if you're looking for a calm decompressing after work spot to enjoy some fish. Check this place out. read more

I cannot believe I haven't written a review of Simply Fish yet. We went for the first time last week and I have not stopped talking about it and recommending it to everyone. I am not exaggerating that I believe this is the best seafood restaurant I have ever been to. The menu is extensive, the fish is so fresh and flavorful, and the sides are as top notch as the fish. I had the Cajun salad bowl and my husband had the ahi poke bowl both were excellent. The fish was so fresh, the portions were large as both of us took some home. The vegetables were incredibly delicious. My sister ordered and devoured most of the sea bass entree, again taking some home. The fork tender fish melted in your mouth, yes I know because she let me have a taste and it was scrumptious! We are already planning our next visit taking some friends who cannot wait to try Simply Fish. The waitstaff was very personable, professional friendly and helpful. I am unable to come up with anything remotely negative to share. The prices are on par and in some instances a little less than expected. If you like seafood you will not be disappointed! read more

We love the casual atmosphere, stellar service, the FOOD and the value! First off, Simply Fish is in a strip mall so there's a ton of parking available. You can make a Yelp reservation or walk in. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I'm pretty sure the servers actually like each other because they're always helping each other (I appreciate that!) with drinks, running food, placing orders and bussing tables. Now, this place is 5 stars because the service from Linda and Jesus were awesome. We absolutely love the award winning fish and chips ($15) with coleslaw. Your plate comes with 3 huge fish pieces, fried to a perfectly golden brown and CRISPY! A generous serving of French fries and yummy, creamy coleslaw. Now the star of the menu is the deluxe seafood platter ($35). It says it serves 4, but I say it realistically serves 3. Nothing was fried, but instead sautéed in an incredible sauce! You get a huge bed of rice with bell peppers, broccoli, sautéed onions and a generous portion of fish, calamari, baby octopus, bay scallops, shrimp with the heads still on... and we added on the skirt steak ($15) with chimichurri sauce. BEST. DEAL. EVER! Simply Fish is simply amazing! Such a great value! Be sure to check them out. They have daily specials, accept major credit cards and you can pay by QR code. read more

We came here on a Sunday evening for an early dinner date. We were dressed casually in jeans and T-shirts and were seated right away with no wait. Our waitress, an older woman with a noticeably raspy voice, started off with a dismissive and rude attitude. When I asked about the seafood boil and tacos, she seemed uninterested and acted as if answering basic menu questions was an inconvenience. Her tone and facial expressions made it clear she wasn't engaged or interested in serving us. However, when my partner asked about the Brazilian lobster, her demeanor changed completely. She suddenly became friendly and attentive. We were told the Brazilian lobster wasn't available and that only the Maine lobster was offered at $99, which my partner ordered. After that, the service shifted dramatically. She became overly attentive -- almost hovering -- which felt inconsistent and insincere compared to how we were initially treated. The drastic change in attitude made us uncomfortable. It felt like we were being judged at first -- possibly because of our the way we were dressed -- and then treated differently once a higher-priced item was ordered. That inconsistency left a bad impression and negatively affected our overall experience. Food: 4/10 Service: 4/10 Ambiance: 8/10 read more

Great service and great food If you're craving some seafood at a simple and affordable place then this is definitely it. My sister have been telling me to go for awhile and I finally got the chance on a weekday for a late lunch. I started with their calamari strips and octopus. The calamari strips were good but not the best. The octopus was really good just a tad overcooked. But the it was still amazing and the green sauce it came with was delicious. For my main I got their Orange Roughy which was a delicious white fish with your choice of sauce. I got the one they recommended. You can also choose your sides. I got their roasted corn and yummy coleslaw. It was a large dish but it was so good I devoured it. I also got to try some of their scallops and fries. The scallops are a must if you love scallops. Their fries were seasoned and perfectly fried. We couldn't have been happier. The service was excellent. The waitress was attentive, informative, and helpful. The inside is casual and has a chill vibe. I like that their menu had lots of different options and some items you can't find anywhere else. They also have daily specials and great happy hour prices. We definitely would be back. read more

Awesome food and service! My parents wanted to take my family and my sister's family out for a holiday celebration. It was a total of 12 people. We decided to try this place out, especially because they could accomodate our large party and allowed for reservations. Typically we would be nervous about bringing our gaggle of kids to any restaurant (4 kids under 7 and a 11 year old) but the food was so good there was no complaints, no fuss. All of our kids ate so freakin' well and sat nicely the entire time. We ordered a variety of things to share: Fried Scallops, Calamari, Warm Seafood Salad, Ciopinno (w/ noodles), steamed clams, tacos (shrimp, grilled salmon, fried fish), filet mignon steak, grilled salmon, ahi tuna appitizer, grilled mahi mahi, chips/guac, and a massive pitcher of margarita. The total came out to 300 bucks, which was amazing considering the amount and quality of seafood we ordered. Even my picky-eating parents enjoyed the entire meal and said this was one of the best seafood restaurants they had in a while. That's the ultimate compliment from judge-y asian grandparents. The nice thing is the server let us know they were doing a promotion for the holidays. They offered us $120 gc for $100. We were able to purchase $360 worth for $300. The ambiance was pretty simple. Casual booth/table seating. When we were there, they had a cute little girl performing the ukulele as live music. This might be our new go-to seafood spot. read more

Sauce, & Portions size. Service was good. Over priced for what I got to eat. Still hungry after I finished my Meal !

The restaurant was well decorated and clean and the service was excellent. There were many dishes listed on the menu. I were able to get the Blackened Salmon Salad for $16 since that's the special of the day for Saturday. The salad dressing was very nice and the waitress provided a bottle of the Lime Venaigrette dressing in case we needed more. The salad was a premium salad that included candied walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and heirloom cherry tomatoes. I enjoyed the salmon salad so much that I got it again the following day. My son got the Fish and Chips which came with french fries and cole slaw. He appreciated the fact that the coleslaw was light on the mayonnaise; We were pleasantly surprised to find raisins in the cole slaw. We asked that no additional salt be added to the fries and that's the way it was served. Excellent taste, atmosphere, presentation. Fresh and premium ingredients! I highly recommend the Blackened Salmon Salad and the Fish and Chips! read more

OMG!!! The best seafood restaurant I've been to in years! My wife and I ordered the octopus tentacle appetizer, sea bass, and the warm seafood salad. The chimi churi sauce that came with the octopus was delicious and the octopus itself was cooked perfectly. The sea bass came with a mild sauce, roasted corn, and a really tasty coleslaw. The star of the meal was definitely the warm seafood salad; full of shrimp, calamari, muscles, clams, white fish, and salmon on top of a fresh bed of spring mix greens. The lime vinaigrette dressing was the bomb!! Can't wait to go again. Simply Fish is simply amazing. read more

We made a reservation 4/27//26 for 5/23/26 for 4 at 5:00 for the Hawaiian entertainment night. We were aware of the 90 minute maximum per table, so arrived at 4:50. Although we had a confirmed reservation, the restaurant was already full and we were shown a table outside along the parking lot. We could not hear nor see any entertainment. No apology, no offer to comp a drink or dessert. We had invited friends as it was their first time there and a special occasion-very disappointed. There should be some sort of info on website, that although you have a confirmed reservation and arrive early or on time, it does not guarantee a table inside where the entertainment is. read more

And the chips were nice and crunchy and perfect for the poke. My friend thought the poke could use more of the sauce but I thought it was fine! Next the calamari. I was not impressed. It was very chewy and rubbery, more than usual. Not sure if it's due to the shape - it looked more like mozzarella cheese than normal calamari. lol. It was ok. Would not order again though. Then, we got the blackened ahi tacos and those were a bust. I do appreciate how large the fish chunks were. These were definitely huge tacos. However they were really really dry and just not great. And finally, my least favorite were the steamed clams BUT I don't like clam in general!!! It came in a little tea pot which was cute and the server also gave us each a bowl of the clam water which was kinda gross and tasted so fishy Lolol. It also came with pieces of garlic bread which my friend said if you eat that with the clam, it tasted much better! Overall, would definitely come here for happy hour again! read more

See all

I've seen a couple of posts on next door saying how amazing the fish and chips were. So I went there on Tuesday. Yes, the fish and chips were amazing! So crisp and light, just delicious. We got an appetizer of fried shrimp. They were perfectly cooked and the batter was crispy. There was a mention of using a QR code for the menu. The place had a menu with pictures!! Oh, and the tacos were amazing too. read more
