    Oh my, the clam chowder, white of course, and Dungeness crab cocktail never disappoint. Imagine adding the lobster sandwich on Texas toast. Fantastico!!! Get ready to loosen your belt buckle.

    Scenic location on a sunny day. Swordfish and au gratin potatoes very nice. Should've had the Caesar salad instead of roasted vegetates though.

    One of the nicest restaurants in Bay Area. Very good clam chowder, great salads, and variety of fresh fist 🐠🐟🐡🦐🦀 no fresh squeezed orange juice. I totally recommend ☺️😋

    Great place for fresh seafood and a view of the Peninsula! Believe or not my favorite are the salads here-have had both the spinach and green salad and they are the best!

    We came here around 2pm. We were seated immediately but we waited for almost 15 minutes for someone to come and take our orders. We ordered crab cake, scallop skewers and Canadian rock fish. Everythin

    If you're an oyster fan, this place certainly has very fresh raw oysters. I normally get the clam chowder, oyster sampler -- and don't forget an order of cheesy garlic bread. Ask them to add crab on t

    The smoked fish was the real standout of our meal. The mesquite grilled artichoke was greasy and not very flavorful. Ducket's Bucket is ok.

    I've been here before. But this time I had the worst ever pasta shrimp meal. Tasteless, flavorless, blah. Avoid eating at the bar. The bar tender cooked this so called dish. $26.00 - highway robbery

    Can't say I love the customer service at this place. The first time I was charged wrong amount, 2nd time waited too long, 3rd time we interrupted socializing at the front desk & got shitty service.

    Grapefruit gimlet was delicious but the fish was just ok. Pretty over priced for the quality but maybe we caught them on a bad day?
