    I had this restaurant bookmarked for a while and we finally had dinner here for my birthday. It was a little difficult to get to, but it was worth the drive once we arrived. The restaurant had a lot of parking as we had early dinner reservations. We were first seated at a high table near the bar, even though I requested a nice table when making reservation. We got to switch to a regular table seating 2, but the hostess wouldn't let us sit by the window because she said those tables were reserved for parties of 4. I did see another couple sitting there, so it was a little disappointing. The tables did not fill up while we were there, so not sure why she was saving them. As another reviewer mentioned, the server requested everything to be ordered at once. We started with calamari appetizer, which was covered in a Thai flavored sauce. I should have asked for sauce on the side. My husband ordered a tuna tostada, which he enjoyed. He ordered the mussels as an entree, and I ordered the squid ink pasta with shrimp. The pasta was al dente and the shrimp was fresh. I received a birthday sorbet with candle, which was thoughtful of our server. I'd go back again if someone wanted to drive.

    We came to Trani's Dockside for Valentine's Day dinner. The food was seriously amazing ,everything we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared. You can really tell they focus on quality, and while it is on the expensive side, the taste makes it feel worth it. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the food. We had to wait about an hour for our meals to arrive, which was disappointing, especially for a special occasion like Valentine's Day. It kind of took away from the overall experience. I would say it's a good place to try at least once because the food really is that good. However, because of the service experience, we personally wouldn't go back. Just sharing an honest experience!

    I am not a fan of the other Trani's in San Pedro so when my friend suggested to go here for dinner, I was hesitant. I am grateful I went. This restaurant is AMAZING. Aside from the amazing food and full bar with delicious cocktails, the vibes are extraordinary. This is a place to come for date night or girls night. Some of the seating is close together and not so comfortable. We sat at the bar. The calamari is in my top 3. I will forever be ordering that each time I come. We both ordered pasta, loved it. The sunken city gelato dessert was to die for. Once again, will forever be ordering that. I love this restaurant. Parking lot is directly outside and easy. It's overall a fun restaurant to go to and you won't be disappointed with what you order.

    A hidden gem in San Pedro, was finally able to check it off my "Want to go" list. A busy and active vibe inside with a large bar area and friendly staff. Our server was amazing! She was quick and gave us valuable recommendations for our meal and they were spot on! The scallops were amazing, ceviche style I did not know what to expect but it was unbelievable, bite sized, tangy, with a little heat. Brussel sprouts were well seasoned and perfectly charred - yum! The special Clam Chowder was creamy with big chunks of clam. The fish & chips I ordered was one large piece of cod which had a crunchy coating with a juicy tender fish inside. The house tarter sauce had a nice zing to it and I asked for more so I could dip my fries in it! Had a bite of the sausage gnocchi and the sauce was sweet and savory. The bite of chicken parmesan I had was flavorful and the same tomato sauce as the gnocchi. All in all the dinner was amazing and the protions were very generous. I'll definitly be back!

    Double espresso to counter the food coma. Really good espresso.

    This is long overdue. We came here on a whim because we were in the area and starving. We arrived right when they first opened up for dinner service, and there was plenty of parking as they have this huge lot for themselves. The staff were so friendly and accommodating even though (1) we didn't have a reservation and (2) we felt rather underdressed when we saw how elegant this establishment was upon entering. Regardless, we were greeted super warmly and seated even more promptly. I'm kicking myself right now because I cannot recall our server's name, but she was amazing! She was so friendly, patient and took the time to explain the menu and made recommendations after inquiring our likes and dislikes. We ended up ordering the Peruvian Bay Scallops, Manila Clams, Jim's Clam Chowder, Sausage Gnocchi, Fish & Chips, and their Crispy Alaska Halibut. We enjoyed them all immensely, and were insanely full with leftovers by the end. Our absolute favorites were the halibut (a limited special that actually sold out later in the evening), scallops, clams, chowder and gnocchi; basically only the fish & chips paled in comparison to all the other deliciousness that we ordered. We also got a couple of drinks (kicking myself again because I can't recall the names but they were refreshing and tasty!) that our server recommended, as well as ice cream for dessert! This was an incredible dining EXPERIENCE for us, just as our server explained was the mission of this restaurant and delivered! We felt like we were celebrating an anniversary or birthday because she, the establishment itself, and the yummy food made us feel that special! We left so happy and full. We can't wait to return the next time we're in the area. We will definitely aim to make a reservation next time, just in case, as this large restaurant became packed quite quickly, understandably.

    Local calamari sweet!

    Second time having dinner at Trani's dockside and both times have been great! Kind of an unexpected place in the middle of the docks but very nice layout. Dark, but not too dark -sexy. Service was standout on both visits. And we usually go early bc we are old . So it was not super busy at 530p but was packed both visits by 7p. This latest trip we started with the local calamari which was sweet and fantastic - haven't had it sweet before but am now craving it. We also split a half dozen oysters which is always a must. For entrees he got the swordfish Milanese and a side of mashed potatoes and I got the lobster + ink rigatoni. Both were delicious and filling but I was definitely envious of the swordfish dish. I had a small bite and wanted more! The mashed potatoes were fluffy and decadent and we split those. We also had 2 glasses of their New Zealand sauv blanc but I cannot for the life of me remember the name. Perfect with what we ordered and the server recommended it. If you haven't been, definitely check it out!

    They have their own parking lot so that's nice. We sat outside with the fur-baby which they opened just for us so that was really nice of them. Food: Oysters were nice and fresh. The carpaccio was AMAZING. The swordfish I do remember was not great, didn't have much flavor, I think we even mentioned it to the staff since it was recommended to us but they didn't really do or say much. The dessert was good. Overall a good experience.

    We had another fantastic night at Trani's Dockside Station. We stopped in after attending the soft opening of the new Majestic up the street and brought some friends who had never been before. They absolutely loved it, especially the live guitar music, played beautifully all evening by a very talented young woman who set the perfect vibe. As always, Manager Robyn greeted us with her warm, friendly energy, and our server Blake did a fine job taking care of us throughout the night. We kicked things off with a few of my favorites: Peruvian Bay Scallops - Sweet, delicate, and perfectly chilled with bright citrus and spice. Garlic Bread Squash Blossoms - Light, crisp, and filled with that addictive garlicky goodness. BLT Salad - Fresh, crisp greens with smoky bacon and juicy tomatoes; the kind of salad you actually look forward to ordering. Crispy Brussels Sprouts - Golden, caramelized, and dangerously addicting -- truly YUM. A quick note for wine lovers: if you bring your own bottle, the corkage fee is $25, so make it a good one! For our entrées, we went family-style, which was the right call because everything was excellent: Chicken Parmesan - Tender cutlet, crisp coating, and a rich marinara topped with melted cheese. Sausage Gnocchi - Pillowy gnocchi with savory sausage and just the right amount of heat. Mushroom Pappardelle - Earthy, creamy, and luxurious; a standout dish of the night. All in all, it was a wonderful evening of great food, great service, and great company. Trani's Dockside continues to be one of our favorite San Pedro spots, and now our friends are fans too. Highly recommend!

    What a hidden gem! 5 stars all-around for Trani's Dockside. Plenty of parking, yay! The ambiance is fun, lively with cute and cool decor and photos on the walls. You can sit at the bar, the oyster bar, at a table indoor or outside on the patio. Service was phenomenal. Lauren curated our entire dining experience based off what we ordered. She suggested the best wines, I was obsessed with Italian Vermentino. She had our courses delivered in perfect cadence for us to enjoy each dish. Sea bass aguachile: light, citrusy, perfect in flavors and textures. Peruvian Bay Scallops: This is dreamy with wonderful Thai flavors packed in each small bite. I woke up the next day, wanting more. Clam Chowder: Best I've had in a long time. Garlic bread: buttery, parmesan,crispy on the outside and soft on the inside (pairs so well with the chowder- thanks, Lauren!) Sausage gnocchi: pasta made fresh in-house , topped with a light tomato sauce and sausage crumbles, SO good! Halibut: flaky, buttery, delicious. Brown butter mashed potatoes: fabulous. Rosemary panna cotta: unique, intriguing, delectable. Vermentino and Caymus Cab paired so well with our meal. Trani's Lager: hints of honey We've definitely found a new favorite local spot. We'll be back sooner than later!

    Food is always amazing especially the Peruvian scallops. We had a nice young man waiting on us today, I do have to say all his recommendations were great. Thank you Tomas

    This place was very deceiving from the outside and pleasantly surprised how stunning the inside was, very chic ambience. I'm conflicted on the rating, what I should give due to all the hiccups..? I would give it more of a 3 1/2 stars. Too bad the service was so poorly executed at astonished me that this restaurant has been open for years when it acts like it's a newly opened if not a soft serve opening of a new restaurant, because they were so, so, so slow. Not a single person not the manager came over to apologize that it took our drinks forever about 20 to 30 minutes and the food took even longer. (Granted it was a Sat night so you would figured they would have at least 3 -4 bartenders working). Not only did the food took forever, they screwed up our order too. But, they rectified it very fast and it came out quickly. Normally a manager or server would have come over with a complementary drinks on them or an appetizer or two but nothing. Like I said, no apologizes, no acknowledgment that they screwed up and they're sorry for the slow service. We were at the restaurant for over two hours+, probably closer to three hours because it took so long! Drinks: Pink Dream(Aspen Vodka) drink, wow, didn't even taste like an alcoholic drink! The kids wanted one but a virgin one. Which I think they should sell a mocktail of this drink. The food is great: Appetizers: * calamari- very good * raw oysters-good * tuna tartar- fresh and tasty Dinner: * wild caught sea bass was cooked perfectly and not overly seasoned, very fresh! *pastas - don't know, but the kid who ordered it liked it *the spiny lobster was so out so they gave it to us with shrimp but charged the same price Sides: *spinach w/bacon *broccolini *mashed potatoes I might have missed something else... Would I go back? I would, the food was great. But the service and wait time is something not to be desired to experience again.., so I am hesitant... There are so many good restaurants now so why go back to one that isn't up to par with hospitality...

    The food was really good, but I didn't like the fact that you had to pay for sides, which should be included in your meal if it isn't a high end steak house, but that's just my opinion. The service was great and the ambiance is on point.

    This bar has become my usual haunt, or watering hole, or my third place. I once heard someone talk…read moreabout how each person needs three places to be happy-- a job that fits well, a home that feels peaceful and the third place is one where one feels like one with the crowd. They are just a regular person, not their woes, hopes, titles (or lack there of), they are another joe/jane/jonx, and are seen as such, with respect and acceptance. I do not know if Crimsin has become my third place, I love the gym, and places where I am invited to romp, and places where culture has esteem, but this place is definitely a place where I feel engaged by the mood, vibe, staff, and possibility so maybe one day in the future this place will be my third, I just can't say that, today. This place is definitely a dive bar--- meaning one comes for the beers and the shots, not necessarily to be impressed on transported by a mixologist. For me that was a point against the house of Crimsin, but then an unlikely hero came into play: Channel. I think I got her name right, I can easily see how an S can replaced the C. Whether her name is spelled with an S or C, one thing is clear, her talents are a gift to this place. I described to her how I do not really like the taste of alcohol, thus I gravitate toward drinks that are sugary cocktails. She took my limited explanation and concocted a raspberry lemon drop worthy of being held by a rom-com heroine as she described her latest fancy-free quarrel with her best friend in a NY hot-spot. Of course, both the heroine and the the bff have french tip nails that are to die. Since understanding my flavor profile, and my proclivities toward glitz in sip, she has crafted wonderful drink after wonderful drink. I appreciate her candy apple cocktail, and her black bitters drink that she warned me about before sipping, real bitters were in the drink, so I may have to chew or straight-up gulp. If you are in the area, port before a cruise, or coming to or from the fish market, stop here and ask for her, if you tend to like a drink served in martini glass. However, Jules, another bartender from this joint recently made me a blueberry cocktail- that I loved to the last hearty sip- and she served in a regular glass. I always paired cocktails with martini glasses, like I imagine coffee on a mug, but if you let it cool morning coffee would taste just as good in milk glass. The place has a man-cave kind of feel for sure. In the back there is a pool table (put a quarter down if you wan to play) that is often populated. If you never play pool, find an opponent that is at your level, and you will grow to understand its purpose. But if you play someone better than you will just hate the game. More broadly, this is true about life, that is why equity for all lives matter. They also have televisions that play all major events, and a juke box of modern times, where you can pay via an app. So this place has all the trimmings needed for a good time at bar, including a shuffle board table and a policy that allows you to bring in food from nearby eaters, or I guess even from your home. Another bar tender that you should ask for is Garrett. I stopped going for a while and then he made me feel like I could come back once and again. I really cannot remember how he did that so the words of Virgil are true--- people will often forget what you said, but you never forget how they made you feel. Weird how one can be nostalgic for a bar, but I can also see if you have. bar to call your own, that seems more ordinary than unique. A lot of people like Garrett he has this salt-to--the earth kind of vibe, which reminds most goers, that someone human can listen to you and respond with simple words that ring true, in a super good easy way. Visit Crimsin and make a Tuesday or Wednesday one where something fun can happen.

However, the MC tried to convince me of the value of the show with an honest attempted that I respected. And thus I paid the 5.00 dollars and entered, I was ready to laugh and hope that the comedians would fulfill the hope. Additionally, entering the Artistry would provide me a lounge to wait for my friend that was coming to pick me up, in about an hour or so. As soon, as I entered the Artistry I was pleasantly surprised. It was a cool, inviting, elegant spot that was hidden from sight. It is the type of place that you only find when the winds of chance whisk you into a moment that impact and build your life. I will be the first one to admit that the winds of chance did not take me to Oz from Kansas, but they did take me to a welcome respite of people and opportunity. And at a more grounded level, I know now where to go if I have a wine-friend visit or I need a non-rowdy bar for peace and quiet. The place is a mash-up of modern appliances, contemporary art and pieces from days gone by. It is both eclectic and like a backyard sale of a Hollywood starlet. She accumulated trophies and bobbles of worth and next to the mat they are displayed on, you also see the junk she accumulated thought-out her life. In one of my pictures I show a tv that played maybe operatic music. It was signing with word that hit a deep range. This picture also has one of those fans that no longer have blades. The wind comes from an oval shape--- modern science. Another picture shows a Native American picture with a full headdress. It would be dynamic on a runway. Another picture shows a painting that seemed to be one of those famous food stills. So yeah, the collection that makes up the them decor is broad. I can only describe it as a wine cellar that was decorated by three friends, each of them with their own style. The friends were also young, like early 20s, so their taste and vision had not crystallized within them so there was no way they could take their three styles and make it one song in the same key. I also noticed that the menu had the word with misspelled. The typo added to the magic and hodgepodge of the place. Maria who works there, was a gem, a treasure, and the Hope diamond. I twisted my ankle a bit and it hurt to move, hence the stroll around town and not a hike to reach a top. I asked her to pour me a glass of water because I was sitting down, and getting up to reach the table, would make the pain amp up. She served me water and I apologized for being too needy as a customer who had become a patient. She then asked me if she could move the table closer to me. I said yes. She struggled a bit to move a table that looked like barrel, with a glass atop, and seemed to be full of wine corks, but it might have been just a layer that suggested fullness. She still managed to push the table. Now I could easily stretch and drink water. I thanked her for her work and kindness. And she said something so beautiful at it is core: I am here to serve. Thank you Maria for being of service. I ordered a fruity wine. I am not a wine drinker. The server suggested that one. Once I tasted it, it tasted like juice. The server compared it to a Capri Sun. Yeah, it kind of was. Then I drank more and I did not like it. I asked myself why? Like what specifically made me not like this wine? And all I could come up with was, "it tasted cheap." I felt bad for just describing something as cheap without further detail. Then I saw the bill. The wine was only 10.00 dollars. So it was a cheap wine. I mean right now, given inflation, what cocktail or pour is less than 10:00 dollars? A cheap one. And when I say cheap it does not mean that it lacks richness or attire from a brand name store. When I say that it is cheap I mean that it did not have depth of experience. It was cheap in the way that cheap perfume is, it does not have a layered complicated presence or scent and what it offers is lack of nuance, personality, hype and posture. Like cheap furniture, it's promise and function are soon broken. I would go here and try other wines. And who knows maybe one day I will find one that makes me a wine convert.
