A Top Pick in the Area
 
The place was busy in mid-March while many of the tourist haunts were still closed. I understood why. The view was great being right next to the harbor and the ferry terminal. The service was friendly and attentive. The menu had great variety. The ingredients were fresh and the food was well prepared.

A signature appetizer was batter-dipped onion rings. Yes, it was greasy but good! My fish tacos were surprisingly made with Cajon grilled salmon. The other ingredients in the tacos were black beans, tomatoes, onions, black olives, and cabbage. Each taco was had two soft corn tortilla and topped with fresh cilantro. Believe me, all the tortilla were needed to finish the filling! Freshly steamed cauliflower and broccoli accompanied the dish.

Others in our party had Panko fried oysters, a clam chowder in a hollowed out sourdough bread and a seafood penne pasta with shrimps and scallops in a basil cream sauce.

We had a wonderful lunch. The tab for four with an appetizer and three coffee came to $49 before gratuity.
