“ If you are here in Santa Monica Pier then this is the best place as whatever comes out of the kitchen is pure gold. Amazing food! Especially the Beer Battered Fish and Chips. The Tacos were so good too. ”
“ Nice spot for seafood. Oysters were good and fair priced; especially for being on the pier. They have all the classic plates: rolls, boils, soups, etc. The staff are friendly. Will definitely come back to try the other foods. The spicy seafood soup was calling my name. The only thing is the condiments on the side need a good wipe down. ”
“ Let me start by saying: if seafood had a red carpet event, this restaurant’s lobster roll and ceviche would absolutely be wearing crowns and waving at fans. I ordered the New England lobster roll, and wow—talk about love at first bite. The bun was toasted just right, the lobster meat was sweet and succulent, and there was so much of it, I had to double-check the menu to make sure they hadn’t charged me by the pound. It was the kind of roll that makes you briefly consider moving to the coast and becoming a full-time lobster connoisseur. Then came the seafood ceviche. Cue the angelic choir. It was fresh, bright, and so well-balanced I briefly considered proposing to it. Every bite was layered with flavor—you could taste the citrus, the herbs, and that unbeatable ocean freshness. It was like the ocean whispered sweet nothings into the chef’s ear, and the chef said, “I got you.” Seriously, this place knows what they’re doing. If you’re a seafood lover—or just someone with functioning taste buds—do yourself a favor and get here. Just be prepared to crave it forever. So glad I didn't go to Buba Gump lol ”
“ Better than expected. Loved the Mexican Ceviche, fried shrimp, whole fried Talapia, cobb salad and bread bowl clam chowder. ”
“ Food served hot and delicious! Very nice staff and well set up process. We were glad we stopped in for dinner during our visit to Santa Monica pier. ”
“ I thought squid will be too dry but actually it's perfect crunchy, soup is good as welp ”
“ Grabbed brunch here on a Sunday Morning. Cute and open air building with plenty of seating inside and out. Service was sufficient. Not to particularly engaging or opinionated regarding the offerings. We had picky young adults with us so a seafood place can stress them out. Burger- was very enjoyable Fish and Chips 5/5 Fish tacos overall good, could use more sauce. CT lobster Roll- hubs really liked it. Calamari- could be better, kinda chewy Oysters on the half shell- Black Magic oysters were so sweet and yummy! However they were still connect to the shell and that’s not typical. Chocolate chip cookie- just ok ”
“ Great food and service. Had the catch of the day, fried Calamari, and Calm chowder. ”
