Fun little place right on the water. You order inside and get a chance to look at all the fish before you select yours. Grab a seat outside and wait for your food to be ready. They call out your name pick up the food...Read More

The fish sandwich and clam chowder were great! Really enjoyed the live music. They noticed we had a dog and brought him a bowl and a treat. Such a good experience.

Great spot overlooking Morro rock. Very accommodative - instead of making us wait 45 min, they sat us at two tables and enjoyed seafood lunch. Fresh oysters, popcorn shrimp to start. Great kids options. I highly recommend Yellowtail special.

Likely the best seafood place in central coast. Great views, food, and humble dining room. Consider this place if you want the best seafood anywhere. I can confirm the salmon bisque may have been the best I’ve eaten anywhere. Break away from the chowder and...Read More
