Yelp.com Review - by Jessica I.

4.0 of 5 stars. The best seafood I have had in a while. The service was great and the restaurant is really nice. Not much of a view, just the freeway. The bar is very classy. I recomend the crab stuffed shrimp.

Sunday 50% Off by Nick D. at InsiderPages

This place has a great atmosphere and excellent prices. The clam chowder is incredible, so are the fish tacos. It is a great place for family or meeting a group of freinds.
