    One day in Eureka.... husband wanted oysters and this was the recommendation we got from a local. parking easy. view spectacular! right on the water. only 1 person working when we arrived (2 by the time we left). there is indoor and outdoor seating. The temperature and view was much nicer outside. Service was very friendly. She was able to answer drink questions so well (found out she started as a bartender). We loved our food and drink. I've already recommended this to my son who lives nearby. Looking forward to another visit.

    The freshest seafood I have ever tasted! Our server Chris is actually the manager and rightfully so his service is impeccable

    Easy to find restaurant next to the bay. Lots of close parking. Had lots of guests and only 1 server-he was very busy but welcomed us/was very helpful answering all our questions and giving us suggestions even though he was super busy. I ordered the fish and chips with a delicous macadamia nut porter. The drink came quickly he brought the can and a glass. The meal came in about 10-15 minutes. The fish was excellent and the chips looked hand cut and were crispy and tasty. I will definately stop here again when I'm in the area.

    Clam Chowder

    The food here was so tasty! The butter that was served with the bread was better than any butter I've ever had. The fettuccine alfredo was super creamy and flavorful which I enjoyed! The staff here is super nice and there was a nice view of the water where we were sitting. I would highly recommend this place!

    I had the half sandwich with a cup of miso mushroom soup. I chose the fish sandwich and the fish was really moist and tasty with lettuce, tomato, and onions. It was delicious and I was very happy with it except I wish there was more fish; the fish came in pieces and didn't cover the bread. The mushroom miso soup was good, but nothing special; it would've cost $5 to upgrade to clam chowder, but from what others said, I'm glad I didn't. I would say the food is probably three and a half stars, but the hard working servers doing triple duty kicked it up to four stars. My dining companions had the half crab sandwich, grilled halibut, and cioppino and they thought their food was good but not fantastic. All in all, I would eat here again, but I probably won't be in this area again.

    The cocktails were delicious. Freshly made and chilled perfectly. The fish and chips were good NOT greasy. Coleslaw was a bit bland. Po boy was loaded with shrimp and goodie's. The service decent. The waiter was just having a rough day. Ambiance was comfortably nautical

    Ok so just barely had the four stars. The shrimp was massive for my dinner but a bit over breaded. Veggies were great and the fries were the best part! Service was great and the food was quick and hot.

    If you're looking for a good fresh seafood restaurant, you'll have to give this place a try. If you have non-seafood enthusiasts in your group it's alright since they offer other types of foods as well.

    Wow... just wow!!! We were taking a road trip and asked Chat GPT for a recommendation for best clam chowder in Eureka and it brought up Jack's Seafood and it did not disappoint. The clam chowed tasted fresh and homemade, served with two pieces of bread with garlic herb butter and the crap cakes were fresh and tasty as well. The ambiance was relaxed comfort. It was like having lunch in your friends bay front kitchen... light, airy, and open.

    Clam chowder

    The food omg was absolutely the best! The service was fast, friendly and inviting! Definitely worth coming out to again! Omg the BEST Clam chowder and the spicy tomato mussels were ‍ Fire! The fish and chip was delicious too!! Ambiance was so incredible

    Dungeness Crab

    Again, amazing! Did not disappoint and love the food here! One order of the mac n cheese is enough for two people, TRUST ME! Definitely some of the best Mac n cheese I've ever had!

As we got here, a nice lady gave up her counter top seating so we would not have to wait, THANK you! So today we got the following: Dirty Beto Burger - My daughter's option, and it was a home run; well ALL of our dishes were a home run! Bolo Pasta - My wife's order, another good dish. I just would have preferred more. Just being greedy. LOL. And I got more wings for my dinner (had wings for lunch also at Viethai in Santa Rosa; see other 5 star reviews). Actually, these wings were even better (slightly better). The flavor, slight kick, etc. And to wash it all down, I got the local Mad River Brewing Steelhead Extra Pale Ale. So smooth and refreshing, especially in a frosted glass. All orders were made to order, so please be patient. Ambiance - Very small local business. Service - 6 stars. From Matty, our very experienced waiter to the owner chef. Matty was so professional, I actually enjoyed watching him work. Work the tables, train the day-one waitress, communicate with the chef, etc. So impressive. Price - $65 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since opening in mid 2025. We will be regular customers but next time we will make reservations ahead of time. BTW - You are the talk of the town! Congrats again.

    Smalls has such a flair in the kitchen for amazing food and amazing service…read more Me and my wife were looking for a dog friendly place to eat and Smalls was gracious enough to let us come in with ours . Mind you our dogs are very well behaved so we were just grateful for them allowing us. They even brought out a dog bowl for water . The vibe was just really beautiful and decorated beautifully. It's perfect for date nights or family dinners. Service was amazing, we had Emma and Matt, between them both we were taken care of from all angles. The food was pretty delicious , I got their chicken artichoke... the sauce was amazing, the chicken was tender, the shrimp was delicious. My wife got the eggplant parmigiana, she absolutely love the eggplant and but she said the sauce and the pasta was ok. She did enjoy it overall. We closed it all off with their Colombian coffee creme brulee. The flavors were there but the custard did not sit appropriately... so it was a little more liquid and warm. The flavors were there so we enjoyed it. We love the heart that Smalls has in its ambitious nature and know they will only grow from here. If we lived in the area this would probably be a regular for us to go to. It seems like the chef loves to try new things and have new specials so you just can't go wrong with that.

I found this restauraunt on Yelp and we reserved it for my birthday dinner on a Saturday night. We sat by the window and had a beautiful view of the sunset and bay. Upon being seated we were served some bread with some whipped butter mixed with some sort of seafood I believed? I forgot, but the butter was delicious. Our first round of bread however, was average at best and was very dense and doughy. The next rounds of bread were significantly better though, so maybe there's an inconsistency with the way they bake their bread in-house. I ordered the seafood penne pasta and my boyfriend ordered the king salmon with risotto. Both were "specials" and were not on the menu. However after digging into reviews here, it seems they are not so much specials since both dishes have been served here for the past 7ish years. Seafood penne pasta: I would rate a 3/5, maybe a 2.5/5. The pasta itself was not al dente which was disappointing. The "star" of this dish was supposed to be the scallop, which was severely undercooked! It was super soft and mushy. The shrimp was alright...some were overcooked. The salmon was also dry. I think the only thing I really enjoyed was the mussels, clams, and the sauce. The sauce had some curry with a small kick to it. This dish was just okay. Escargot: We ordered as our appetizer, I'd give it a 3.5/5! The escargot was a little soft but paired wonderfully with the bread. Creme brûlée: 3/5. Our waitress kindly put a birthday candle on it for my birthday. :) I enjoyed it, and it was very custardy! The downside was that the sugar on top was too burnt. I can't speak much for my boyfriend's dish, I did have a bite of his salmon and it was alright, maybe a bit too salty. The service however was wonderful and our waitress was super kind and helpful. Maybe I would come back to try another dish if I'm back in the area.

Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing. From the start, the person who helped us was rude and dismissive. I understand people have bad days, but her attitude was unacceptable. When I simply asked if they had cider, she laughed and caught an attitude. I requested a sample of a strawberry option they had on tap, and when I then asked to order that drink, she said, "I'm sorry, I can't possibly remember everyone's drink when I pour drinks all day." That comment was disrespectful and unnecessary. As a human being that works with the public, it's a no brainer to say that is not how you talk to people...perhaps something along the lines of "Remind me what that was again"....I could never imagine talking to people that way. The best part though, is that while charging us--despite saying she couldn't remember everyone's drink--she somehow remembered my husband's order just fine. The inconsistency and tone were frustrating and soured the entire visit. We only came to Eureka for this spot, and it turned into the worst birthday experience. I had hoped for a fun, friendly celebration, but the service made it anything but. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this location based on how we were treated.
