We enjoyed this fresh seafood restaurant. It is in historic ferry building, so you can enjoy casual vibes mixed with delicious food and amazing views. Service was excellent, we were taken care of quickly, politely, and helped multiple times with napkins/ new utensils (I dropped one) and boxes to go. You won't regret it!
I really wanted this to be a 5/5. It… absolutely was not. Fish: Greasy batter that completely forgot what “crispy” means. I felt like I was in a wrestling match with oil the entire time. The fish itself? Fine. The coating? A situation. Also - no aioli served with fish. Fries: Thick-cut, soft and starchy. You know that pale, under-fried interior that tells you the fryer gave up halfway through? Yeah, that. Ate them because I was genuinely hungry, not enjoyment. Arnold Palmer: Iced tea took over the group project and added way too much sugar. Zero balance. Just sweet, heavy, and in an identity crisis (Arnold Palmer? Never heard of it but I am trying to be one). Not a fan. Luckily the Ferry Building has plenty of sit-down and enjoy your meal spots.
A great little place at the ferry terminal to grab some really good and fresh seafood. The menu is not extensive, but has some great selections. The food is fresh, flavorful and nicely presented. The smoked chowder and the smoked albacore melt were excellent; and the ginger limeade was refreshing. The modern, communal seating was comfortable and the facility was clean and well maintained. We definitely would return as the food was delicious and the service was friendly.
All of the food we had here was very good. The Rocky Sandwich was similar to a Vietnamese Banh Mi. The fish was light and flakey, and the slaw added a nice acidity although it was a little messy. The fries were pretty average, but still good. The Little Gem Salad was light and fresh with lots of citrusy elements such as orange and grapefruit, balanced well with a creamy feta. The place itself didn’t have much seating, however there is a lot of nice outdoor seating. Overall, very good and would come back!
The rockfish sandwich was amazing. It had the daikon,carrot slaw with cilantro and mint garnish was refreshing, tangy and balanced out the fried fish. The breading on the fish was crunchy and flavorful. The rockfish itself was fresh and tender, cooked to perfection. Can't wait to try other menu items next time. The only downside to the place is the limited seating, so may need to order food to-go.
