First place we tried when we got to Brookings…read more Great food and service. Came here with the family. We got 2 pizzas that were shareable sizes. We got a margherita and all meat. Both really good and made in their stone oven. We also got the calmari for appetizers. Calamari cooked perfectly, not rubbery. Light batter, crispy, and seasoned really well that gave it great flavor. Others in the group ordered a clam chowder bread bowl, chicken Parmesan, fish & chips and shrimp & chips. The overall consensus was good. Casual atmosphere and perfect location. It's at the boardwalk near an arcade. During the day, there's also ice cream and coffee nearby. Couldn't get any pictures.

Best things on the menu are anything with the locally caught rockfish. I had the fish tacos (see photo), but the fish & chips was the real winner. We sat outside by the dock and had a great view of the pelicans (see photo). We also had a sea lion cruise by who had to fight off a seagull that tried to steal his lunch! Service was great, outdoor seating under the sunsail was great, what's not to like?

I really appreciate it when places offer fancy non-alcoholic drinks. A+ presentation for the Cherry Blossom! Their soup, salad and ale bread entree was very good, and I was surprised by how much I liked the bread. The clam strips were just okay, served with a ton of sauce.

Wait for drink wasn't bad for as busy as they were. Ordering food and receiving food took a bit. Again very busy. The chowder was very tasty. Could have been a little warmer. The stuffed mushrooms were not what I thought. I didn't realize they were breaded heavily and deep fried. Then they pile a little bit of seafood then Swiss cheese. The grease from them frying then they sat in the grease made everything mushy. Barely any seafood and they were not fresh it was frozen bagged mushrooms. The clam strips were also frozen bagged. Not fresh. Hardly any taste. The ladies that served us were super friendly and nice. And my cocktail was a nice proper cocktail. I didn't realize really like the service and the ambiance. Very friendly spot even from locals.

Salmon fish and chips Shrimp and chips and Cod and chips Plus a salad. They were all generous portions. Fish was moist and great portions.

This would be a five star review if it was based solely on the freshness and quality of the food…read more This a a cute little shop right in the harbor on the waterfront. We entered the fish shop / restaurant and it was busy, there's only about seven tables and a middle counter top area. No one greeted us and the tables were full so we just grabbed a seat at the middle counter top area. After five minutes I grabbed some menus, five minutes more and I went to the counter to order. After 5 minutes at the counter a woman asked if I was ordering food to go ( now this is my first contact with an employee in about 20 minutes of being there). I informed her that we were sitting at the counter and she said she would be over in a minute to take care of us. We ordered (finally) the fish and chips and a bowl of the clam chowder. Twenty minutes later a different woman dropped off the food and left; no conversation or can I get you anything else? The food was fresh and delicious, we throughly enjoyed it and when we were finished we waited another twenty minutes to pay; we finally went to the counter. On our way out the woman who took our order thanked us and said have a nice day. There were three or four woman working the counter and tables but the communication was just not there. Go for the food not the service, order something to go.

We were in town last weekend and we were looking for some seafood near by. We were so lucky that we…read morefound this restaurant. Their service was top notch, the waiters were very attentive and friendly. The ambience was very relaxing and also friendly. Their food was delicious! We ordered the sourdough clam chowder and the rock fish sandwich the first day there and the second day we got their shrimp po'boy and crab roll. All delicious plates that we are missing their menu right now. If you're in town or passing by definitely try their food.

First time here. Did not have a good experience and emailed the owner twice but never got a reply…read more No reason to return if the owner can't provide reliable customer service which is identical to what we experienced with our server. Party of three and went in to celebrate a birthday. We ordered: 1 oyster shooter, 1 crispy oyster appetizer, 1 patty melt, 1 cheeseburger basket, and 1 fish & chips. She walked away and we had to call her back to order drinks. The oyster shooter came out quickly. It was huge! We also saw another guest with a whole crab. We then realized that there was a seasonal crab menu. Our server never told us about the special menu. I would have easily ordered the whole crab or seafood tower (I forget what it's called but it had scallops, crab, sirloin, etc.). Our meals came out, patty melt, cheeseburger, fish and chips, and crispy oyster appetizer. Wait...what? Why didn't the crispy oyster come out with the shooter? Oh...because our server gave us a meal instead of the appetizer since it had a pile of French fries with it and we were charged for it! Overall, the meals were good. Our daughter enjoyed her patty melt. My crispy oysters and fish and chips were OK, nothing to write home about. Also, the server did not ask how I wanted my fish and chips since the menu offers them deep fried or grilled. They came deep fried. Either way is fine with me but if there is an option, the server should know that and ask. After our meals, we ordered two slices of brown butter cake and instead were served two pieces of mile high chocolate cake. At this point, it was useless to complain to the unattentive server. Probably won't go back.
