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.

What a great stop! We were driving north and my son asked me to look for cioppino, so of course I…read moreturned to Yelp. Gill's leapt out at me. 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.

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!

Service was quick, attentive, and no nonsense. I was the only diner at the time, showed up 20 min before service would start. Was offered the App list, and was able to have Ice Tea, and a bowl of Clam Chowder. Chowder was creamy with pieces of clam, and smaller minced clam in the soup. There was a texture of either sautéed minced onion, celery, or something light and sweet. It caught my attention. I did add pepper in layers, I just love pepper with clam chowder. There were also small chunks of potato. I do wish there had been more, as I do appreciate a hardy clam chowder, but it was an appetizer, and you don't want to fill up before the main. Chowder bowl was full. I fast everyday, and I was over my fast time a few hours, so I jumped in before the picture was taken. My servicer took my order about 4:50 pm, and then she brought my salad. Dinner was on the table by 5 pm.. I was the only diner, but I was impressed and I appreciated that she didn't make me wait till 5 to get started. I had the garden salad with the blueberry balsamic dressing. It was refreshing and tasted better than I was expecting. Great portion, and mix of ingredients. I actually was starting to feel like main course would be interrupted so I did only eat half of the salad. Last, I ordered the Red Snapper. I had read that this was good and actually came in just for it. The fish.. was amazing. The light battered crush sticks to it like a skin. Very pleasant and efficient when eating it. Even after adding lemon incrementally, it stayed on. Impressive. The rice pilaf was enjoyable (I do don't eat a lot of rice with my regimen but it was good). The vegetables were, well, vegetables.

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.

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.
