The two restaurants (same company) are consistently superb. The seafood is always fresh. We eat oyster shoots every time and they have to be fresh or they're yucko. We live in the area and come here often. It's one of our top three restaurants in the entire area, and probably is number one or two. Have been going here regularly... More

Very nice place. The food was very good. Sunset is a very busy time, prepare for a long wait if you want to sit outside. Caution though, sitting next to the rail obstructs the view of sunset. The two restaurants on the pier are the same. The coconut shrimp are to die for.

Food was just average but the view of the sunset was spectacular. The place is very popular and a little chaotic. Just sit yourself and get there before 6:30pm. Order tacos (3USD for two tacos), get in line to pick them up and get a drink. Once you are ready just enjoy the sunset. The place is a little chaotic... More

This was my third visit to this restaurant over the past couple of years and I cannot say enough about it. Everything is great...food, service, ocean view and the sound of the waves, and wait staff. If you are looking for the place to eat in San Clemente, then this IS the place for an experience you will not forget.... More

a great place to have lunch,it was a warm sunny day this restaurant is positioned on the pier, the food was good and tasty and value for what we paid, had a table right outside overlooking the ocean.just perfect, be prepared to wait for a table as this place is very popular but worth the wait.

Best seafood restaurant on the coast in my opinion. No farm raised fish here. And quality view right on the pier. Separate bar if you just want to drink!

This being the second time I have called Southern California home I remember stopping by Fishermans for a quick bite and a few beers way back in the early 90's. Now I am married, 20+ years older and supposed to be respectable I avoid a lot of my old haunts for fear of scaring my poor wife. One exception was... More

Beautiful table right on the ocean - at on the bar side. Limited food selection, but everything was great. Nice bear selection. Waitress was very nice and prompt. Wonderful evening watching the surfers and drinking beer.

It was a wild and windy night when we ate here. The waves were crashing under the pier and made for exciting dining. The seafood was fresh and tasty. There were 5 of us and we ate outside with the warmth from the heat lamps. It does become a little difficult to see your food, but it was all very... More
