Overall:
At first, things were a little slow, walk in (after telling Fred that it was alright to come in in a tank top, Since it was not yet 4:30pm), and see a "Please wait to be seated sign". This part is pretty standard, so no big deal. The issue comes up when we were still waiting on a seat in an almost empty restaurant seven or eight minutes later. Well, at this point, we had already walked about 5 miles to get there, so I was fine as long as I was sitting, so no big deal here either.
After someone noticed the three of us hanging out up front, we were given three menus, and told to pick a seat (Definitely new in the "Please wait to be seated" lineup). A few minutes after finding a table, the waiter comes around to ask about our drinks. We order, and they come out a few minutes later.
Long story short: The story continues from here, with a small task, followed by a 5-10 minute wait. This is a little longer than usual, with less interaction from the staff, and slightly longer between refills than I would have expected with only 5 other occupied tables. The waiter was pleasant while taking orders, and while checking up on us. As for the actual food, it was amazing. The menu offers a large selection of seafood, some of which is caught semi-locally, and a good selection of burgers, sandwiches, and even a few pastas. What really impressed me, and was at the same time a huge disappointment, was that they had a vegetarian section in the menu...though it only held two options. The selection of beers is slim, but holds well to the standards, soft drinks are typical. What really shines about the drinks here is the variety of domestic (California) wines, and the imports that they chose for their stash. Australian red, anyone?
Either way, If you like seafood, or want a 8oz Cheeseburger, served on sourdough, with the option of Swiss American, or Provolone cheese... I would stop by. Maybe not for a dinner date, but definitely a casual lunch option.
Thanks for reading!

business must be way off right now, with the economy like it is..But the seafood doesn't know that, so it's tasty as usual..I haven't tried the burger's, but what's not to like about a fresh cooked burger in that atmosphere? lol..If you liked to fish, you could have gone fishing off of the pier..it's even nice to watch the other's fish and see what they have caught for the afternoon..sometimes a few sand sharks which is interesting.
thanks for the post!
