    Bowl of Clam Chowder w/Texas Toast & Oyster Crackers
    Jennifer W.

    Been curious and finally stopped for a bite of lunch during the Memorial Weekend. It was not too busy so we got seated right away. Our drink order/food order taken quickly and food delivered. Soda is Pepsi products out of cans(not fountain). Menu had variety of options and prices were reasonable. Give it a shot if in the area but bring cash!

    The place to avoid
    Ed M.

    Fish and chips: 2 small pieces of halibut (maybe) with a 10oz bowl of clam chowder a root beer for $23. Expensive and poor value. The clam chowder was absent of any clams and the 2 small pieces of fried fish were too small to be sold in s respectable restaurant. Save yourself the aggravation and go elsewhere. Tip/ ask anyone coming out as I did and you'll understand why they roll their eyes.

    Wife eating fish!

    The wait can be long but the food makes up for it. I always order the fried oysters, ask for extra crispy. Delicious!

    A coastal hideaway worth the experience, flaws and all:…read more Before anything else: Alyssa was our server, and she was fantastic. Warm, attentive, genuinely friendly in a way that felt human instead of rehearsed. When we paused for family prayer at the table, she didn't hover awkwardly or disappear, she joined us. That kind of moment doesn't show up on a menu, but it shapes the entire meal. It's the difference between being served and being welcomed. Mother's Day dinners are usually built on sentiment first, food second. The Pickled Fish is the rare place that reminds you why people keep chasing the ritual anyway. Perched above the grey Pacific, it feels less like a polished fine-dining machine and more like a slightly rebellious coastal hideaway, comfort, ambition, salt air, and wine colliding somewhere between elegance and controlled chaos. Some dishes arrived nearly complete, others still searching for themselves. But every plate carried sincerity, and that's rare in modern dining rooms obsessed with performance over pleasure. Burrata with Cashew Pesto, Arugula & Lemon Zest: A genuinely good dish trying to claw its way out of the plate. Peppery arugula, earthy-sweet pesto, indulgent burrata. But it lacks tension, the lemon should cut through the fat like a straight razor and barely shows up. The olive oil disappears when it should be carrying part of the conversation. And the sourdough eats like a sandwich slice instead of an appetizer; smaller bruschetta-style cuts would change the whole experience. The foundation is there. It just needs editing. Kind Stranger "Alter" 2023 Red Blend Drinks like someone trying hard not to make another predictable Pacific Northwest red, and mostly succeeding. Black cherry, plum skin, dry cacao, a little amaro bitterness lingering at the back. No syrupy jam bomb, no over-oaked vanity. Slightly rough around the edges in a way that suggests actual people made it. Not profound, but honest, and honesty travels farther than perfection. Pork Schnitzel with Sautéed Asparagus (substituted), Roasted Fingerlings & Onion Gravy: The dish of the night. No foam, no tweezers, no lecture about deconstruction. Just a properly fried cutlet that shatters under the knife, earthy fingerlings, fresh asparagus, and a deep savory onion gravy that complements instead of suffocates. The asparagus substitution, by the way, was handled cleanly, no pushback, no fuss, which says something about a kitchen that respects the diner instead of the ego of the menu. One sharp note of acidity, a brighter mustard, sharper pickle, lemon over the schnitzel, would push it from "very good comfort food" to memorable. But maybe that's the point. It isn't trying to be revolutionary. It's trying to make you happy for an hour. And it succeeds. Cinnamon Bread Pudding with Bourbon, Dates & D'Anjou Pears: The kind of dessert that makes you understand why people romanticize cold weather. Warm, fragrant, grounded by bourbon's dark caramel depth. Dates melt in like brown sugar with a pulse, pears add lift, and the compote is almost sinful. Unlike most bread puddings that collapse into wet cement, this one keeps structure at the edges and stays custardy in the center. My one critique: the bread itself runs a little thin. More of it would give the dish the heft it deserves and let the bourbon, dates, and compote have something substantial to anchor to. As is, it's excellent, but it's a few ounces of bread away from unforgettable. Cardamom Chocolate Panna Cotta with Espresso Chantilly: This dessert does not whisper. Cardamom hits first, floral, spicy, mysterious, then chocolate settles in underneath like wet velvet. The panna cotta is technically excellent, trembling at the edge of collapse with every spoonful. It's heavy, no question, but the espresso keeps the chocolate from going sleepy and the cardamom keeps it interesting. The dessert equivalent of an after-hours jazz bar, dark, warm, luxurious, just slightly excessive. Not every night. But tonight? Absolutely. Bottom line: Not flawless, but sincere, and that's the whole point. Great service from Alyssa, a kitchen that cooks with conviction, and a room that lets the meal breathe. Worth the drive, worth the wine, worth lingering until the coast disappears outside the windows.

The salmon entree was a really small portion and overcooked, only a few brussel sprouts on the plate. The rigatoni was very basic and the added crab was an extremely small amount for the added price. My recommendation is have a drink and appetizer and skip the entree.
