A wonderful open-air venue located off the beaten path on Stenmark Drive in Point Richmond. This…read morespot has gone through many iterations from cafe to bbq and now a cozy outdoor patio offering a changing menu of seafood, "pizzas", lamb burger, limited brunch items and light fare. Be sure to look at the menu and pics from the last month as no fried calamari and wood-fired pies...something we were looking forward to. A little disappointed as the "pizza" ordered was more of a sourdough bread with crumbs of sausage. Yeah you had to look for it and minimal on flavor. Skip for me Items ordered and delicious : :: Yucatán stew - flavors of a tortilla soup with mussel, salad shrimp, fish, onions and poblano pepper in a light tomato-based sauce with a slight kick. Thin strips of fried tortilla on top. 4/5 stars. No bread or crostini offered :: Fish and Chips - light and nicely fried rockfish with thin fries (I prefer a thicker cut) and vinegar based cole slaw - 4/5 stars :: Harbor chowder - rockfish in a light, thin yet flavorful broth (doesn't rely on flour or cream) - 4/5 stars Service was friendly and attentive. Arrived at 11am and started getting busier by 1130...music offered in the evening. Relaxing and chill spot. East Brother Beer Company is across the way (20 steps) but not open during day. Plenty of drink options (Wine, Fieldwork, Almanac, East Brother Beer) available including non-alcoholic. One bathroom nearby but if you walk down the path there are other unisex restroom (thank goodness not port-a-potties!) for the public and tenants so you're not standing in a line! Short walk along the rugged shoreline and path you'll see some Playa Art (refuge for Burning Man sculptures). I'm always impressed with the massive art and detail that go into these pieces...definitely a labor of love. Also, you'll see these large osprey nests perched atop pilings and utility poles along the water that you rarely see...gotta love nature! :) Overall, a great spot for a special event, drinks, music and bites. I hope they offer calamari and wood-fired pizzas again and check when they have a Fall 2026 menu. Last exit before you get to the San Rafael toll booths. Signage to direct you along the windy 2-lane road. Plenty of free lot parking. Bring a jacket as it can get a little chilly under the covered patio. Heat lamps available Note: Receipt notes a 3% Environmental Fee - independent surcharge added to bills to offset packaging costs, fund carbon-offset programs, or cover local green mandates.

IN THE CHIPS: Kicking things off, the Chips and Salsa are now $3.85 for an order, but they were worth the money - light and airy, and the salsa just barely had a hint of heat to it. Just perfect. (5/5) THE BEANS.. Perusing the menu, whatever plate you order, you can specify the kind of beans you want (black beans, pinto beans, refried beans). I chose the black beans, but specified "no cheese" on them in a semi-futile attempt to stay on the healthy side. =) SEAFOOD TACOS I decided on the Seafood Taco Platter, where you get one shrimp taco and a fish taco along with a big side of beans and lots of rice. Each taco comes with a double layer of corn tortillas with grilled shrimp, or fish topped by shredded cabbage drizzled with a lime aioli. Instead of deep fried, the shrimp and fish on each taco were grilled to perfection, instead of deep fried. The fish filet was diced and stir-fried with a wonderful aroma. Instead of making a mess, I decided just to eat my taco by slicing and dicing it from the plate. Super good! (5/5) One of my dining partners had the mole here a year ago and loved it, so now that he was back in town, he made this place a prime objective for his visit again to the Bay! Yeah.. I'd tend to agree.. Worth coming back.

The restaurant is very clean and spacious! The employees were friendly, the cashier recommended me to try the Bubbarrito, which was very delicious. Comes with fresh salsa and cilantro cream sauce. I would rate it 9/10, next time I would ask for the hash brown to be a little bit more crispy for texture. Wait time was about 10 minutes. We also tried the Vietnamese ice coffee, I would rate it 9.5/10 must try! Overall, I give this place 5 stars. If you're in the area, come try it out!

The dining area is spacious and bright with large windows. You order at the counter and get a number. The food is then brought to you. The menu is international. You can have American classics like burgers, and you also can have Asian rice plates (adobo, teriyaki, etc) as well as Mexican dishes. It is therefore great for groups of people who may have diverse palates. On our visit our group of 3 ordered pork chop rice plate, burger, and breakfast burritos. The portions were very generous, and the taste was on point. My pork chop was chunky and marinated well. The prices were reasonable for the amount of food we got.

I am surprised I have never reviewed it. Recently, I did a small catering order with the owner. She was very accommodating and pleasant to work with. Since they do not offer a catering menu, the order is based on how many items you want. I ordered 12 chicken and 12 pork sandwiches; And 20 orders of pork eggrolls. Everything was split in halves and tasted fantastic. My guests were very happy.

It's like a pho salad. It has tons of bean sprouts underneath the noodles and a lot of deep fried garlic pieces that make the noodles taste like Hong Kong crunchy noodles. At first I thought the egg noodles were fried. It was crunchy and there wasn't a lot of noodles but mostly a lot of sprouts and herbs. There were a lot of fatty barbecue pieces that I did not eat. I enjoyed one shrimp and one piece of squid. There were a ton of fake crab meat. The side soup was very nice and hot but had a taste of chicken fat and lots of salt and MSG. The noodle dish is extremely tasty and doesn't need any addition of soup. This was excellent on a hot day after a nice hike at Tilden Park. My husband ordered the same dish as me at my recommendation and loved it. My friend had their chow fun with seafood and barbecue. She enjoyed it and it was a generous amount so she took home half. This place is not shy about using MSG and the food is very salty and strong tasting. I find the dishes much cheaper than other Vietnamese restaurants. My dish was only $13.50. That's very cheap since it was full of herbs and seafood. Service is very efficient when they're not busy. No frills. Service is very slow when it's busy. Most of their customers are people who are coming here during their office lunch break during the weekdays. I noticed it was very quiet on a weekend. I'm still going to go back to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Berkeley next time I am in the area, Phosho Dough.

We sat outside where there is a nice water front view. It wasn't too cold, had a nice breeze on a warm day. Drinks were pretty standard and refreshing, although my sister, who is an avid tea drinker, said the tea doesn't taste like jasmine tea. I replied back "that's weird, jasmine is a distinct flavor for a tea." She said yea...but she liked the warmth and found it soothing. Calamari was really good. Not heavy or greasy as it can be at other places. It was lightly battered and was crispy. I enjoyed the sauce it came with, but when I asked what kind of sauce it was, the server did not know...he stammered and said "uhh...an aioli" I was wanting to know what kind it was. Our friend said it tasted kinda like a Big Mac sauce. I do want to give this a try for a full dining experience because this visit was very pleasant.
