If you are worried about high levels of mercury in the swordfish or tuna, try the salmon or sea bass! Don't miss the apple crisp a la mode for dessert.

If you're nearby and get to-go at lunch, get the sack lunch to go special! $5.25 for small soup, small smoked salmon, and generous amt of need and butter. Killer sauce!

Fantastic seafood selection. They blacken fish very well. Try the cheesy crab bread. Not on the menu but it is so delicious for $12!

If you are going to eat in Palo Alto and you like fresh fish, this is the place. If it swims, it’s on their menu.

Check the happy hours and Happy Oyster Hour Menu at Bar. E.g., on Mondays from 3.30 to 9.30 pm.

Good selection of fish. Went there between 4 and 6pm which they have a shorter menu list to choose from but there was a variety of fish. The sides are ok

Fresh fish, no matter what you get is always awesome here. I'd go to lunch here everyday if my wallet would allow.

I come here for their sack lunch. It's a great deal and includes bread, chowder, and smoke salmon (or albacore)

Sit at the bar for fast and friendly service. Have the Crab Ciopino if very hungry, the grilled Mahi mahi if less...
Maria MascarenoAugust 1, 2012
Ok, so I wanted to try the oysters and arrived on happy hour we also arrived on "Early catch Menu" make sure you seat on the bar, or dinner cause they forget about you if the seat you on the patio!

The Miyagis are frozen. So what oysters are fresh? New Zealand, New Brunswick, and Coops Island. Why they h8 on Pac Coast??
Denis FernandesNovember 18, 2017
Ask for the Cioppino with pasta. Very good.
