Due to the looks of neighborhood (especially since we don't live in the area) we thought we were going into a sketch dive. We couldn't have been more wrong. We all had fish and chips the batter was delish. The girl servicing tables was the only one there and she rocked it. I was watching her work and she anticipated her patrons and the bars needs without letting anyone else in the bar down. (We were there 7.26) Kudos to her! And the atmosphere was casual and happy. Thank you for the nice stop on our way home.

The tables weren't too crowded together, though there was not an abundance of space. There is also outside seating! The staff: The employees were quite kind and helpful! The food: One of the people in my party ordered linguini with clams and the clams were so overcooked, they were tough to chew. Another person in my group had very overcooked steak. Besides that, all the other food was very good and surpassed expectations! I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and crème brûlée and those dishes were both a delight! The fettuccine Alfredo came with a side of miso soup, which came with some bread. Final thoughts: Though a couple dishes turned out a little overcooked, I would definitely come back again!

We were served right away and the hostess was very nice and located at two top for us. The wait person was lovely and immediately accommodating. The menu was interesting and inviting. I had to laugh out loud as there is an item on the menu referencing Pee-wee's Playhouse from my childhood. I even asked if it was a Gen X restaurant and sure enough the chef is of my generation. I'm including a picture so IYKYK! The waitress had shared all of the specials, and I was intrigued by the flat iron steak option. It was a flat iron steak with marsala mushroom sauce, and mushroom risotto and asparagus. It was delightful! The meat was perfectly cooked and tender with a lot of beef flavor, offset by a rich marsala mushroom sauce. It was perfectly complimented by one of the top mushroom risotto I have had in my life. It was delectable. And the grilled asparagus side paired nicely with the beef and marsala sauce. It even had a little bit of lemon on the asparagus, which is my preference for it! Overall, this is probably in the top five of all of the restaurant meals I've had in my life. My husband had the mixed beef burger with fries. He said he really enjoyed the burger, and I did steal a tiny taste, and it was perfectly cooked and had a slight gameness that gave it some depth. My husband said that the bun was very nice as well. The fries were perfectly cooked. The burger was perfectly cooked and it wasn't over juicing nor dry. Overall, a really great burger! Funniest thing we noticed was that all of the chairs that were sitting on a cement floor had been given rubber caps for each of the legs so that when you moved the chair, it didn't make a horrible sound. Literally extra 10 points for that alone! I wish this location well and look forward to stopping in the next time we are in the area.

The place was pretty busy at 8pm and we sat outside since we had our pup with us. I ordered 3 oysters as an app. I had just read that Humboldt Bay provided a large percentage of the oysters consumed in CA and NV so figured I should order some since we're so close to the source! I was surprised when I slurped it down and it was warm but they were delicious and the sauce on top was very flavorful. (That was my fault for not reading the description well enough; I'm just accustomed to eating oysters chilled) For entree's, I went with the Polenta Veghie lasagna and my husband ordered the Italian Mac n cheese. Both dishes were very good and very filling. I loved the crust of the polenta and the eggplant and cheese filling was delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful and I was impressed with the coziness and warmth of the interior. Great spot for dinner, I'm glad I chose this restaurant!

Staff overall were great, and our waiter was very professional. The menu looks really good and as the name implies, there's a lot of seafood options for dinner. Someone got the fish and chips which was pricier than other places BUT it came with FOUR pieces instead of the usual three. I did the Snapper Almandine which was so good so amazingly delicious, I would absolutely eat that again. the polenta side tho was probably my favorite of the night, so crispy on the outside and soft and tender inside, flavor was amazing . If they piled high on a dinner plate and served that for 30 I would take it!!! I'll be very curious to try one of the steaks next time and see how it compares with other restaurants in town that I hear recommended often. The only minor issue was trying to get a replacement water glass after we first sat down because of lipstick print on the glass. I hate talking too loud in restaurants so thankfully the hostess noticed us before long. I feel for the kitchen staff, those oils do not wipe off cleanly and I often wonder how it is removed from cloth napkins.

We were quickly seated and water was brought over and that our server came to take our drink order. They had specialty cocktails, beer, and wine and a full bar. I just wanted a glass of wine, and i did get a glass of wine. However, I would say the choices for by the glass wine was not great. The food however, was excellent! We started with the Dungeness crab cocktail, which was a very nice portion for two. Then we followed with a cup of clam chowder that we shared. We each had a house salad that I thought was delicious. I had vinaigrette on mine and my husband have thousand island on his. He has been on this eternal search for the best thousand island dressing and he swears by this one! We also split tonight, special of Halibut with a white wine, garlic butter sauce, and Shitake mushrooms. It was not only the perfect portion size, but extremely good! We skipped dessert, but moved to the bar for a nightcap where we met a local guy and a few other visitors...it was very fun...everyone was very friendly! If you're passing through and you would like a good dinner, I would suggest this location.

Even though they didn't have cioppino, it was the perfect choice. Sitting out on the patio with the breeze and the sun and the bay with pelicans and gulls flying and flowers all around was great in itself. The food and warm service people made it incredible. We had the best clam chowder I have ever had - thick, creamy, sweet with clams, and amazingly not heavy at all, just perfect. The hot crab sandwich was a special, so that made up our minds on one thing; and it was excellent. The onion rings were highly recommended by the waitress and the guy at the next table who had just gotten a serving. The breading was perfect and nicely seasoned, and the inch-tall rings of sweet white onion - wow. Giant, delicious onion rings. My son was attracted to the blackened sole but I persuaded him that we needed the clam cutlets because - cutlets of razor clam, seriously? And they were cutlets, a thing we had never seen, nicely breaded and delicious. We like clams. The fries were okay, just fries. The tartar sauce was light and an excellent tangy counterpoint, and the cocktail sauce was truly amazing. We were impressed. Both plates came with a small slice of tasty watermelon, too. We left very full and well-satisfied but not feeling weighted down. If you are ever in the area before 3pm on the days they are open - do not miss Gill's on the bluff By the Bay.
