"Appetizers are incredible and the fish is fresh and outstanding! Enjoy going there just for the food, but always intrigued by the people and their dogs! Always have gotten great service and look forward to returning for the food. Even on Easter Sunday, the wait staff was pleasant, not rushed and the food hot and delicious!"

"My husband and I stopped through on a Sunday around 1pm to try the beer (we're into craft brews) and have lunch. In comparison to other brew houses (Dogfish, Seadog, Cape Ann, Stone, etc.) this was a little too "family-friendly." There were tons of kids, quite a few elderly customers, and half of the diners were not drinking beer! The vibe was a bit more "Friendly's" than brew house, but the food and beer were good. If it had been a nicer day we would've dined outside. All in all, a place to try at least once - perhaps a time other than a Sunday afternoon would reflect a more beer-intensive clientele."

"The staff is friendly and accomodating. The food was fair. Sea Bass entree was ok, but fish and chips were soggy and flavorless. After being sent back, a fresh order was prepared but proved no better than the first. I settled for a meal of french fries.

The beer we had was excellent"

"Food was good, help was the best! Space on Open Table for "special requests" (which we used to request a table near the band) and when we arrived were told that they don't take reservations in the bar (band) area. Wish we knew this ahead, we would have made a reservation for earlier time to try and get a seat near the band. We had to stand for an hour. Came from Sacramento just to see the band!"
