Outstanding seafood with creative preparations. The halibut was flaky and moist, and the wine list has excellent white wine selections to complement the fish.

Ashley J.

The freshest seafood in the city. The lobster was perfectly cooked, and the oysters were briny and delicious. The ocean-view setting enhances the entire experience.

Stephanie M.

A seafood lover's paradise. The crab cakes were mostly crab with minimal filler, and the cioppino was rich and flavorful. The staff knows their fish and can recommend perfect preparations.
