Bill Hendrix

great food in a casual atmosphere . I had the grilled swordfish while the husband had the scallops . Both were excellent. Wine list was also moderately priced and offered good selection.

Rebecca Harrison

The soups are all wonderful. The clam chowder is the best in the East Bay , like it hot? Can't miss with the pepperpot. I'm having the southwestern Sweet potato , a spicy , smooth seasonal offering . Yum!

The lobster mac & cheese is pretty amazing, even though there's more bacon in it it seems than lobster , and the red coconut curry pink grouper was pretty good too.
