Everything was hood and fresh. Deliciously seasoned! The lobster was amazing! Decor very casual but the food is 5star!

Anne Luce

Get the poke appetizer , very good. Of all the tacos , the blackened swordfish is the best. Skip the lobster tacos . Ask for extra tortillas as the ones they serve with the tacos get soggy.

Stephy

The food is amazing! You Def. Need to come out here and try it! Super friendly and fast service . Try the poke !

Simple Foodie

The seafood is fresh. You'll need to doctor up the dishes. Break out the Tapatio . Add a little salt and pepper with lemon juice to the mayo . Good local joint.

Chancelor Shay

Avoid the temptation and do not get the lobster taco . The meat is claw meat from Maine and is a little chewy. All the grilled fish tacos are dank, though. Try your favorite fish blackened!

Stacy Bo Bacy

Clam chowder and lobster salad were great for lunch !

AB

I tried seafood skewer (kabob ), chowders , and fish and chips . All was really good

Matthew Chin

While it lacks a happy hour menu , it has amazing food and beer for the price and extremely fast and friendly service . A pool table and TVs are available too. A+

eric bornemann

No frills, but fresh fish restaurant- go early as they don’t take reservations . Sea bass is good.

Missie De Leeuw-Bono

Good food, awesome atmosphere and GREAT service! A plus that in off season they stay open late (10pm!)
