Food was outstanding. Experienced the Iberico pork. Started with the venison tartar which was very delicate and mild, not gamy at all. The baba ghanoush and pork belly were also amazing. One of our guests had a flatbread which was a classic well made neapolitan pizza. Bronzino was also well prepared and flavorful. Pumpkin soufflé had a great texture but I think would be better with less clove, but fantastic and well made. Noise level was bit loud but we managed. Thanks for a great experience Herd & Wood!

Beautiful location right on the side of Mission Bay in the setting sun. We took our powerboat here, launched from De Anza and motored round to the restaurant and moored against the Action Sports pier. Had a lovely dinner and then headed back in the dark. Great date night!

They were out of one of our meal choices, and it was only 6:00 p.m., so that was a bummer. Also, the steak was overdone and very gristly, but hey, it IS a seafood restaurant! But everyone loved their seafood, especially the salmon, which was SUPERB! Overall I'd give it 4.5 stars.

First of all… Outstanding location. Second of all… Our server, Esteban Umada freakin CRUSHED IT. “What? We’re out of Dr. Pepper?” Heck no, Esteban track that down faster than the Lost Ark in Indiana Jones. There’s nothing he couldn’t do. Quick service - Esteban Constant check-in on our well-being - Esteban. When all we needed was a friendly smile - Esteban. My wife is 35 weeks pregnant, God willing if she went into labor there’s no doubt in my mind that Esteban could’ve delivered our child. Are we coming back? Yes, yes we are… only because Esteban was a Tidal of service. Mic Drop. See you soon.
