Start by getting the Miyagi oysters only (the smaller ones aren't worth your time). Then move on to their fish and chips. Wash it all down with a glass (or two) of Shuckers Ale.

Always oysters, they're the best! Also the shrimp cocktail is to die for! Might as well get some clam chowder too. Usually a wait but come before 12;30 on a weekend you're good to walk right in!

Small restaurant, however, the service was excellent. We were served good clam chowder within 5 minutes and entree followed later. Would definitely go again.

The crab cake is nothing like a Maryland crab cake, but good nonetheless. The calamari is really great, and they have decent cocktails. Little cramped feeling in the back seating.

Very small cute cozy restaurant. We sat at the oyster bar and able to watch prep/cook food. The calamari was amazing and HUGE. Plus the "chips" aka fries were awesome.

The Calamari and fish and chips were delicious. This was a great place to start our Carmel By The Sea vacation.

We tried the oyster from Miyagi, CA and Chesapeake, VA, and we think the quality is just okay. It's not prepared well. Many shell bits in it. 1/2 lb burger is awesome but I don't think coming back.

Aughh, what's NOT good here. I work in Pebble beach building huge homes. This has to be the marquis place for seafood.

Fish and chips were great, fish was very light. But the crab cakes were really something special.
Dan MilanoJanuary 3, 2011
Bloody Mary looks better than it tastes, heavy on the clam sauce, so depends on your preference. Fish n chips will melt in your mouth, great tartar sauce too.
