this is a great seafood restaurant, and the prices are very reasonable for the area. we went on a saturday night at about 6:30 and there was only a five minute wait for indoor seating. we were seated outside without any wait at all.
i had the ahi poke for an appetizer and the quality of the ahi was fantastic. for dinner i had the macadamia nut crusted sea bass. it was perfectly cooked and the nuts added a very nice texture and flavor. i had the scallops rockefeller and that was probably my least favorite dish of the night. still good, but i found the scallops to be thin, like they had taken a normal sea scallop and sliced it into 3 pieces. the flavor was fine, and the sauce was good.
and because no one with me can ever finish a meal, i also tried the sautéed alaskan halibut. this order got messed up and was originally delivered as salmon, not sure how the server misheard that, but they took the salmon back without fuss and brought us the halibut about a half hour later. i felt bad watching our server torment himself every time he came to the table to check on us while the rest of the party had dishes cleared away, and the halibut still wasn't there. i was happy, i much prefer they cook it correctly than rush it out and serve a poorly prepared, rushed dish. when it arrived the portion was great, the sides and sauce were delicious, the halibut was just slightly dry. fortunately with the sauce, it added moisture to the fish to make up for the few minutes they over cooked it.
for drinks i had the blood orange margarita with my meal. it was a solid, flavorful, strong concoction. while waiting for the halibut, i tried the raspberry mojito. now that was a tasty drink. real raspberry, and the mint gave it an amazing fresh quality.
i would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a pleasant seafood meal, and a good drink.

great location, landscaping, architecture, decor. overpriced, so-so food, and dim-witted service. the first time there the waitress rushed our drink order, so i asked, "do you have any juice?" and she replied simply, "yes!", forcing me to ask for more information after the awkward pause.

terrible service!!!!! the girl that helped us obviously had somewhere to go after work. she kept asking us if wanted to go boxes when we were obviously still eating. caesar salad was dry and mashed potatoes were very bland!

excellent place for seafood. my wife and i enjoyed our 2nd year anniversary in this restaurant. we found the wait staff to be very pleasant, the food tastefully delicious and reasonably priced. the only fault we may have found with the food was the lemon pie to be a bit chewy, or what seemed to be like eating the lemon rinds. we would recommend this place to our closest friends and family.

great for lobster. i had a live-maine lobster for dinner. it was simply the best lobster i had ever eaten. it was fantastically tender. the price also was fantastic -- only $25. it was the best deal in town. i highly recommend this place.

great happy hour.... good food, nice view, great staff... i work just down the block at zos communications and probably go to the fish house for lunch more than i should, but it's great. however, the happy hour may be the best kept secret in sb.

as for my fav app, i'm torn between the 'prawn-ton' and the 'bacon wrapped scallops'...

the macadamia nut white sea bass is out of this world and tastes like it was caught that morning. however, it's kind of pricey and the appetizers are tiny.
