    We stumbled upon this spot for a Sunday lunch while walking the waterfront. I was impressed by how many vegetarian options were offered! For the price per dish, the food wasn't particularly fantastic (my ravioli, for instance, was inconsistently lukewarm throughout), but the highlight of the experience was sitting by the water and being entertained by the sea lions.

    My partner made reservations here last night to celebrate 5 1/2 years together. It was a beautiful surprise. We are both in school and don't get to go out a ton so this restaurant was the perfect out-of-town boujie dinner. I'm not sure if our server told us his name but he was a sweet blonde boy with some piercings. He was on top of everything and was clearly very good at his job. We felt pampered. The food came out quickly and was carefully prepared, some of the best seafood we've had in a while. We laughed and cried over our wine, chatting about our growth together. Definitely a special memory we will never forget (mainly because the seals were yelling at us from the rocks below lol). 10/10.

    I recently celebrated my wife's birthday at this restaurant, bringing along our two small furbabies. Right from the start, we were offered a choice of seats by the rail. Although there wasn't a patio heater initially, our server promptly arranged one with a fresh tank of propane. The service throughout the evening was excellent; they frequently checked in to ensure we were satisfied and had everything we needed. A thoughtful touch was when the manager brought out some doggie treats for our pets. We decided to try the special, a mixed seafood dish with linguini, and appreciated that they allowed substitutions for any available sauces. We love spicy food, so we were thrilled to see they use Calabrian chilies instead of crushed red peppers. The food was delicious, and the overall experience was enjoyable.
