About this business

This restaurant in the heart of the Castro serves some of the freshest seafood away from Fisherman's Wharf. The service and decor of the restaurant are simple. Diners order at the counter and seat themselves at small tin tables and chairs. All the seafood is fresh from the ocean, including the steamed crab and steamed mussels. There tends to be a large lunch contingent, so dining during off hours is recommended. You can also buy fresh seafood here to make your own culinary creations at home.

Love this place, been going back consistently since I discovered it 4 years ago. They have some off menu items that are worth checking out as well.

Absolutely fantastic experience! The Cioppino was unbelievably delicious. It was my girlfriend’s first time and after years of me hyping it up, it still blew away her expectations. Roseanne and Susan were so welcoming as was the gentleman server who had the task of carrying out our huge bowl of Cioppino, maybe the biggest bowl ever.

Various oysters : the Marin county are great and not too salty. Dungeness crab very well cooked and serve cracked. Nice choice of wines

The wait was super long. A very small place. Never going back. Food was only ok.
