    Stopped by early in a whim at 10:55am. I was pleasantly surprised by my greeting, seating and order taking. The fish and prawns were very good ( I did add salt). And there was a nice onion ring on top- next time I probably ly will order onion rings! Hot and fresh - really a great value!

    This place delivers. I think they're Korean owned? The batter was light, fish was perfectly cooked, clam chowder was hot and full of clams. A bit sad that fish tacos are only offered on Tuesdays. Tacos should be for everyday occasions. Please make fish tacos a staple. I really enjoyed this.

    Fried fish

    Tried this Tugboat & it's great! Service fast & friendly. Nice small place with great food. Give it a try!

    Ordered the fish and prawns whuch came with fries and some beer battered onion rungs and zucchini. Called in my order and it was ready and being pacjed up as soon as I walked in the door 10 mins later. Everything is good! Seriously some of the best I've had in a long time. The beer batter is perfect, the seafood tastes fresh, and the fries are tasty. Excellent service at the front counter too. Got the sense the guy who help me is the owner. I'll def be back

    Best fish chips in town! Fish is always fresh, flakey, and crispy. I also really enjoy the fried mushrooms and zucchini.

    Love this place. Great fish n chips but the hidden gem is the fried bananas. I like that they aren't stingy on the tartar sauce either.

    I went to the one on Folsom Blvd in Rancho. The staff is rude. They don't cook vegetables on the weekend for some reason.

    Went back for another lunch and it didn't disappoint. Yes, this place can be confusing because…read morethere are no servers and you have to order at the bar. I've watched many people seat themselves at tables and leave 10 minutes later because no one asked them what they wanted. Yes, the decor is stuck in the 90's, but I actually like it. The double smash burger I had was excellent. The bun they use is awesome and they charred the patty perfectly. It tasted way better than Fleming's Prime Steakhouse burger I had last week, that's for sure. The thick steak-cut fries are awesome, too. Over salted but nothing a cold beer can't cut through. Highly recommend their smash burger.

    I dropped by with a specific mission - to check out the Smashburger (as part of a burger…read morecompetition I'm participating in). If it wasn't for this "mission," there's a good chance I wouldn't have wandered in. I LOVE Sutter Street, but honestly I don't live nearby and don't have many reasons to come here. That said, I'm thankful for the mission and glad I dropped by. It's a super cute place and the bartender had a nice relaxed chill vibe to her. This is where I'd normally drop her name and give her kudos - but I didn't get her name. I thought her name would be on the receipt, but it wasn't! I assume her name isn't "Shift Night N" anyway, which would be weird - but that's what is listed for "server". Anyway... the burger... I liked it. I liked it a lot. I was not asked how I wanted it cooked (not expected or demanded by me) - but an observation that I toss in for comparison purposes. It was cooked to a solid medium, which is fine with me. Caramelized onions were standard - nice - but the tomato and lettuce were listed as 'optional' - and the bartender (Shift Night N) asked me if I wanted them. I opted in. The bun was above average - definitely a notch above the typical mass-produced buns often used elsewhere. I opted for sweet potato fries. They had good flavor. Personal preference-wise... I would have liked them to be cooked a smidge more. If/when I come back, I'll probably ask them to be crispy-er. Overall, thumbs up! I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try other things on the menu. #burgers

    This place is so unassuming from the outside, but I'm glad we found it! Matthew was our server and…read morethe service alone was 5 stars. He was so attentive, timed everything perfectly, gave good recommendations and was so kind. They have booth seating with high backs so it gives privacy and they have a private room in the back for private parties. Last but not least the food was amazing! Everything was seasoned well and the portions are generous. I got the filet and lobster tail and I have no complaints. They also give you bread and either salad or clam chowder. I highly recommend the clam chowder.

Great lighting and intimate setting made this perfect for a date night dinner. What wasn't impressive was the side salad with and bread rolls. I've been to other restaurants and steak houses that put a little more effort on their side salads but wasnt a deal breaker for us. I had the captains cut prime rib, which really stole the show. Very impressive nearly 2 inch thick cut of steak. I did find it just a bit dry but the dipping sauce saved it for me. My wife had the grilled salmon which she couldn't stop talking about. Great spot for a date night. If like to try other steaks at this location next time.

The protein bowl was a good size but I just wish there was more of the sauce/salsa because it was a bit on the dry side without it. maybe I could've asked for more? Easy to use kiosks for ordering. The staff was very helpful. The dining room was clean and modern looking. There's also outdoor seating.

    Instead of just doing a check-in, this place deserved a follow up review to my last review. I was…read morehere last week, and really enjoyed it. Since I signed up for their app, I received an offer of a free " everything protein bowl", all I had to do was buy a soda. That was very generous of them. The protein bowl was excellent. It had Cajun shrimp, salmon, swai and grilled chicken. Swai is a soft mellow Asian white fish, which is good either by itself, or it plays very well with other ingredients. There was a generous portion of all of the proteins, everything was very tender, packed with flavor, and so good. This time I had the rice instead of the salad, and I thought that the beans played much better with the rice, than they did with the salad that I had last time. There is also a green tomatillo salsa, , which had just a tiny bit of heat, but again, it was perfect as an addition to the meal. I also had that pineapple cream soda that I had last time, and it is just amazing. I had enough to take Home for a second meal. Their portions are very generous. Thank you!
