“ Amazing Battered Fish Chips with a side of coconut shrimp. Highly recommended!!!! The fish just melts in your mouth and so fresh and tasty. We ordered the Dynamite Shrimp Bowl and it was pretty average. Overall great experience and would love to visit again!! ”
“ When I crave the seafood, I always go to this place. Friendly staff, quick service and most important delicious food! I usually get grilled branzino European sea bass, with flavorful white meat with garlic butter sauce, rice and zucchini. Its always a winner for me, 10 out of 10 ! Highly recommend this place! ”
“ Now that this place is not as crazy crowded as in the beginning shortly after opening, we started visiting more often But still closer to 8pm. The service is relatively quick. Three meals, side of fries and a beer was about 60. Not bad given the two sides per plate and the grilled fish. I loved the seabass, the salmon and the rock fish. Not too sure about the fish tacos my daughter had, especially the side beans were not my kind. But I must say plenty of healthy choices for the sides, including kale slaw, Brussels sprouts. The fish taste is easily comparable to places like Pacific Catch, for fraction of the cost. I wish they had heaters outside at the patio. Overall, great place, food and service. ”
“ First time visiting... Had the sea bass, Cajun sauce, white rice, and asparagus. Everything was cooked perfectly. Really like the ability to customize your plate. Its not fast food so be prepared to wait some minutes but the quality of food is worth it. Cant wait to come back and try something different. ”
“ They just dont take CASH! Really. Had to walk back to car for a card. Well worth it as always. Great fish and fries. Thats all I ever get same great taste and love that batter and tarter sauce. Cant help it, I stop whenever Im in the neighborhood. ”
“ We tried this place since its ash Wednesday, and my wife and I swore off meat for lent. I like the different varieties of fish that they have on their menu and all responsibly sustainable. My wife had the grilled jumbo shrimp while I had the grilled Mahi Mahi. Their kaleslaw is a unique take on the standard coleslaw that were all familiar with. Overall, the dishes they served were flavorful, and the sides that came with were plenty. I would like to come again to try their other seafood options. Highly recommended ”
“ Love sitting at this place and eating their delicious seafood.also their salad are so delicious with their special sauce with Yummy garlic butter. ”
“ I was pleasantly surprised at how good this place was. Id never been here before and I thought it was going to be more restaurantstyle in the sense where you get seated and they take your order, but it actually reminded me of how you order at Chipotle. You pick what kind of plate and seafood you want, the sauce, side, etc. at the cashier, pay, and find a table. When our food came, I marveled at how gorgeous our plates were and how good the quality of the food was! I got the hot honey salmon with brussel sprouts and brown rice. The hot honey was spicier than I expected but still really good! ”
