We came early for our reservations but there was plenty of seating inside and outside. We were seated maybe 5 min after arriving. It was a nice clean restaurant. We sat inside that day. The waiter was very kind and always had a nice smile on his face. He was very attentive. I ordered the paella. It wasn't my favorite paella I've ever had. I usually like the rice more cooked at the bottom of the pan and this rice was a bit overcooked and mushy for my taste. All the flavors were there though. All the seafood tasted fresh. The plate was full of color. It had mussels and clams, shrimp and fish. My daughter had the braised short rib and mashed potatoes. She said the meat was tender and the mash potatoes were creamy. The star was the dessert. The Brown Butter Cake was so warm, crispy edges and buttery. They topped it with vanilla ice cream that slowly melted on top of the warm cake. The time we had was enjoyable and I would go back again if in the neighborhood.

This was a great find. We found ourselves at the San Diego Zoo at closing time and were determined…read moreto not pay those ridiculously high prices for substandard food just for the convenience of being caught at the Zoo at closing time. I jumped on Yelp and found Pete's Seafood and Sandwich close by, so we made a beeline to get there. We had dinner sitting at the bar and had a great experience. There is plenty of inside and outside seating, but we really enjoyed sitting at the bar. The food was prepared fresh, the service was good and the pricing was reasonable. Parking is a bit tough to deal with although they do have a small lot you can walk around to in the back. If we're ever in the area again we'd stop back in to try other menu items.

I started with the clam chowder, which had generous chunks of clam and a really nice seafood flavor. I hate when clam chowder tastes more like potato chowder with a few pieces of clam thrown in, but you could actually taste the clams here! We also got the wings, which, in hindsight, was on us for ordering wings at a seafood spot. They were fine, but nothing particularly memorable. The lobster roll, however, was what we came for, and it did not disappoint! It was PACKED with meaty lobster and quality butter, making it well worth the visit. The fries were also fresh and made in-house, and they were perfect dipped in malt vinegar. Pete's is my go-to when I'm craving fresh seafood without breaking the bank. Great portions, reasonable prices, and a satisfying lobster roll make this spot worth coming back to!

I love crab leg seafood boils and they are my #1 favorite food to date. I always like to try a new…read moreplace on my birthday or special occasions and in this case it was the crab pub because the menu looked perfect online. They seemed to have a ton of options for my family who didn't specifically get seafood boils so we went ahead for Mothers Day. When we got there the service was okay, our waitress didn't really check on us much at all besides putting a bunch of lemon slices on our table but no major complaints. We did start off with drinks and some of us got the wrong ones but no biggie because it's busier on a holiday. What I had a problem with was the food itself. I asked for the combo #2 because I thought it was 1lb of snow crab leg like I get every single time, I got it "pub style" which is supposed to be all seasonings like garlic butter Cajun lemon pepper in one. They asked me if I wanted shrimp, sausage or craw fish as my second and I told her I didn't want any of that and just wanted ALL crab legs. I don't know if she fully understood because when I got my boil I could tell it was noticibly smaller. There wasn't 1lb by any means, and looking back I wish I could've said something. I think they just took the amount of crab they got me and cut it in half instead of substituting and adding more. I wouldn't mind if it's extra money, I just want the crab so oh well. The sauce was the second worst thing ever. It did not taste anything like other places, but way worse. All I could taste was a watery spicy Cajun, and even on mild how I got it it was pretty spicy. It lacked any real flavor so on that alone I'd never go back. I usually always get a Cajun garlic butter and it's seasoned to the Gods but still light and potent. This was just not good, and didn't even feel buttery but more a watery oil. We did also get the garlic noodles and they were good. I make garlic noodles at home AMAZING though, so these were average and nothing to write home about since other places can still do them just as good, if not better. A place in SD that had ones even better was called Crab City and their boil tasted great. I would recommend that place instead of this. The reviews and menu pictures had me with much higher expectations and I was super let down. Forgot to mention, my husbands shrimp po boy, he said the shrimp tasted off and fishy like not fresh which made him only eat half and never go back for the leftovers. There was a super sweet sauce on it as well that tasted random to me when I took a bite so I would stay away from that as well. I also had to pay extra for my potato's that normally come with your boil at every other place. They usually come with potatoes and corn but this place came with nothing and you even needed to pay extra for potatoes but they were bigger and different then usual with no salt or anything so they were not worth getting at all, nor finished by me.

It's tucked inside a little strip mall so parking can be a bit of a challenge depending on when you go. Place is very casual and wasn't too busy when we came, the staff were very friendly and we enjoyed their music selection. For the four of us, we ordered the Seafood Lovers and Queen of Da Sea. They were running a special that day where you get a free pound of snow crab clusters with an order of $180 or more, so why not. Our orders came in bags, which helped keep everything hot. My son and I also ordered rice on the side. For our sauce we ordered the Cajun garlic butter, 1/2 medium, which had just enough of a kick. We also ordered the One and Only, Hella Spicy on the side since my husband loves anything spicy. Everything had great flavor, portions were just right and loved that everything stayed hot until the very end. This place definitely hit the spot for my birthday seafood fix!

They are *not* street tacos, these are full-size tacos with tons of dressings, making it super juicy and filling. You could definitely get full off of just 3 of these. $16 California Burrito is likewise very good. It's huge, so I cut it in half for work and get to eat the other half for lunch the next day. Likewise, very juicy and has actual avocado and pico in it. In earnest, the burrito is a little strange with Spicy Mayo in it, but you can ask for it without. There's so many things in the burrito that I honestly can't name all of it. Location is nice, it's a bit far from my work so it's hard to squeeze into a 30 minute lunch break. It's a food truck with a lot that has plenty of parking. I genuinely have never seen more than 3 other people at the food truck when I go around 11am-1pm on weekdays, so no line and the food is made in a reasonable amount of time. Highly recommend, it's one of my favorite spots now!

I wanted to just wait in the shade until I got hungry again, then order another 5. Hot, fresh... LIGHTLY battered... The pickled red onion slaw topping just sets it all off in a very particular kind of way. My son and I ordered 8 fish and 1 marlin... I wanted to come back the next day and do it again. It was the kind of experience where you want to go as much as possible before it gets too popular and they have to raise their prices. Three bucks American for a fish taco that beats pretty much every other spot I've been to that's charging five bucks and some change. Doña taking orders was made me feel welcomed and appreciated. My Spanish is mas o menos at best, so it can be a little intimidating placing an order. She was patient with me and let me practice my español and even complemented my efforts. I will definitely be back soon.

We ordered the combo #3 mild (approx $35.00 and added 1lb of King Crab legs = 2 crab legs (approx $50 for 2 king crab legs). I forgot to take pictures. The only feedback I have is, saving customers tome if ordering over the phone for pick up. We offered to pay for our order over the phone so that we could pick it up and we were told No, that we had to come in and pay in person and wait for our order from that point on. I understand not starting an order without payment, but if we are Paying in advance, I am not sure why that is an issue. The server who took our was extremely sweet and helpful. He made a comment about food going to waste if no one picks it up when ordered in advance, But if the food is paid for and not picked up, we saw plenty of homeless people around the area that I dont think would mind a delicious free meal... Just a thought.

Service is good; the servers are very enthusiastic about recommendations. They seem to tend to make small talk in case that's not your style. They are very attentive with checking in and clearing plates. Food: 1. Artichoke special - Delicious, super rich and a little sour. Comes with 3 big hearts/stems, olives, and parm. 2. Caprese - They use an excellent quality burrata. Rich and milky and paired great with their heirloom tomatoes. 3. Squid ink pasta - Lots of fresh seafood. Light tomato sauce for those who aren't into cream sauce. 4. Pumpkin mushroom lasagna special - Don't be discouraged by the pumpkin, the flavor is very mild. Adds the barest hint of sweetness. Very cheesy, overall a solid lasagna. 5. Ear pasta with sausage - Came highly recommended as one of their most popular items. I loved it! It's like a combo sausage pizza in pasta form, and I say this very positively. I love the crunchy broccoli pieces which add a different texture and some sweetness. The cream sauce is super savory and not terribly heavy. The sausage has a fennel flavor which some might not be for everyone but I was a fan. 6. Osobucco with mushroom tagliatelle - Well executed. the osobucco is just slightly on the milder side. The tagliatelle was also delicious, a nice light cream sauce with lots of umami mushroom flavor. The only negative to me was the bread. A little dry, not served very hot. They make all their pasta fresh in house which is a nice plus. Overall a great meal. Definitely recommend as a nice date night place, and you can watch the gorgeous sunset views or walk around the streets of South Park after.
