Almost impossible to find, even with GPS. A fish market turned into a restaurant with tons of outdoor seating and a massive tent for the summer. It's very expensive but the smallest portion is half a pound so the value is actually good.

We had the salad with shrimp, salmon special, fried shrimp and had no chance for four of us to finish. It's low key and high flavor. Really impressed by how well each dish was presented and just tasted great. It's worth a trip and make sure you can eat the leftovers the next day.

This particular restaurant is amazing, where it's located you wouldn't even know it's there, the portions are huge, a bit pricey but well worth it.

This place has the largest, freshest selection of seafood I've ever seen. We ordered grilled octopus, Oysters Rockefeller, lobster rolls, clam chowder soup and an octopus salad. The servings are huge, definitely enough to share and still even take home depending on how much you can eat. My only issue was knowing how to order was confusing. You wait in line and go to a register to order and pay, (before you are seated) then you're seated and your food is brought to your table. You better know what you want to order when you get to the front of the line, or the owner/host gets irate! They had printed copies of their menu for you to decide while you are waiting in line; make sure to grab one because no one told us this. We were confused, but when we figured it out and had a beer to calm down, the quality of the food was so good, we forgot all about it. I will definitely go back, although not on a weekend. I hear they are packed all weekend long, pretty much at all times. Will go back on a week night next time.

I have been here several times, and each time it's excellent!! It now has even more tables. When you arrive you will see long tables in the restaurant. You may sit next to other customers, no worries, it's all good. The food is great, the portions are huge. For example, the halibut vesuvio, is enough for 2 people easily. The atmosphere is very casual, the quality of food, high end. Pretty plates of food that taste even better!
