So good. Grilled halibut with cole slaw and cheese potatoes. Smoked fish appetizer is better than any around. Presentation a bit spartan but quality of food is impeccable. Server took good care of us. I enjoy this place for years.

Always a favorite place to go for a good fish dinner. They cook everything over charcoal and it is SO good! Completely unpretentious, served on paper plates, and no fancy sides or sauces—just really good quality seafood. If they’re in season, get the oysters. I can also highly recommend the crab cakes and salmon plate. My husband pretty much exclusively orders the halibut or swordfish plate, which is also excellent if you like a meaty “steak” of a fish. Oh and of course the clam chowder and smoked albacore are kind of a must! We never leave here hungry ????

I do not like seafood. Many in my family do. Why don't they offer something that is not seafood? Most of our group were not happy with the taste or quality of the food. The price was way more than it should be for such a poor tasting choice. We were 10 people, so plenty of choices were had and no one felt the food was very good. Portions were large
