If you’re looking for a restaurant that looks, feels, and tastes as old as it is this is your place. Part New England classic style with a pinch of Musso and Frank (which is likely only a quarter as old). Definitely a must if you are looking for a lot of choices that span both surf and turf. Recommend oysters Rockefeller which are served with heaping amounts of spinach and cheese. The cioppino is also a gigantic portion.

This place has been on my list for sometime and I was glad that my husband and I finally decided to have dinner here. Their service is great, the atmosphere and most importantly the food. The pickled seafood platter was a 10/10. For my main course, I had the Seafood Food Cannelloni which is something I haven’t tried before and it was DELICIOUS. My husband had the Grilled Branzino and both were a 10/10. We didn’t try their desserts as we had no room but we will definitely bring friends here next time and we will give it a try.

Wonderful experience. Dinner for two, reserved online. Was asked to sit at bar since we arrived 15 min early, but man there was no disappointment. Counter service on point for a quick drink, table service even better. We intentionally ordered oddball items, added single serving veggies and had one of the best meals in recent memory. My Mom recommended this great local place from when she ate there 40 yrs ago!

I can see why this restaurant is so popular. It was a most exceptional dining experience. The service was wonderful and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. We ordered the Dungeness crab cake to start. There have been very few times where I’ve had seafood that was this good. Then for the main course we ordered the calamari steak and the pan fried petrale sole. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. I can’t believe I’ve waited so long to try out Tadich Grill, but I will be back again.

First time here for lunch. We couldnt get a reservation on the Sunday it was fully booked but Monday was open. So book in advance for a weekend spot. Loved the old school counters and wood decor. Our server Colin was fantastic and attentive. We started out with a bloody mary that packed a punch lol i think he double poured. Then a cup of chowder that had plenty of clams n good flavor 8/10. The small size serving of bay shrimp salad was piled high with plenty of fresh shrimp. I couldnt even finish it. Well i did also slurp down 1/2 dozen oysters. My friend ordered the catch of the day. Ling cod with crab. That plate was a solid 10. This place is pricey but worth it. We left very happy.
