    Fun and lively. Make a reservation, for sure. Especially on sunny weekend days. Worth the wait. Just a fun, tasty, and busy place. A bit touristy, but local, too. Definitely have some oysters! And chowder! Skip the jambalaya - it was pretty gross. Should have known better, though.

    This place is just perfect, the food is consistently great, staff is very friendly and the setting is awesome. There's a bar an indoor seating area and 2 separate areas outside overlooking the beach and the bay with heaters for breezy days.
    I highly recommend the lobster rolls, specially during lobster season. The clam chowder is also very tasty and not floury like others in similar restaurants.

    The outside area are dog friendly which is a big big plus!

    That said... Week ends and holidays make this place way too busy to be enjoyable (at least for me). My wife and I take a Monday off every so often to come over and enjoy the empty beach, no wait for a table and being able to choose where to sit.

    Either way I definitely recommend this restaurant which is on my top 10 in the whole SF to Monterey area!

    Expensive but food is really good. Kristen, our server, was just okay. Other people like the hostess and guy bringing the bread were more friendly. Glad we got to try this place. Highly recommended by our daughter. Their lobster rolls are delicious.

    OK for the food and prices, meh for the service and fantastic for the view.

    This is one of those high volume tourist spots that mostly serves people who do not live in or know the area. They serve East Coast fare, but they do a great job of it. With the outside heaters, those seats are just fine and right on the beach.

    One can park at the south end of the harbor parking lot and walk to the steps that lead straight there easier than parking in their own overcrowded roadside.

    Note that is is also a beach access.
