Love this restaurant! The service is outstanding, it is bright and cheerful inside and the food is great. We had four for lunch and all of our meals were prepared to perfection. I had the catch of the day sandwich which happened to be halibut. I chose the fries over the salad as my side and the fries were just as I like them, crispy of the outside and soft on the inside. My friends had fish and chips, oysters, caesar salad and baja fish tacos. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Our favorite local restaurant! Our waiter warmly welcomed us knowing us from previous visits. As usual he was spot on in suggesting wines, knowing the contents of each dish, and anticipating our needs. And the other support staff did an excellent job -- smoothly orchestrating the evening. The salad we shared and ate every morsel -- lettuce, escarole, radicchio, tomatoes, cucumber, almonds, chickpeas, and green beans with an oregano vinaigrette that was so, so, so delicious. My husband enjoyed his pepperoni pizza. The branzino was divine! We finished with a limoncello and vegan pistachio ice cream.
