"We had lunch here on a date 27+ years ago and (our loss hadn’t been back. To celebrate my husband’s recovery from heart surgery we decided to dine here again. Everything was even better than we’d remembered! The service is impeccable. Our server was friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. We had a service dog and she was accommodated and made comfortable. The food is super fresh and prepared to highlight the high quality of the ingredients. We started with oysters on the half shell. They were some of the best ever. We could have made a meal of fresh oysters and been happy as a clam ; . Then fried calamari. Not greasy, very lightly battered and tender. My husband had cioppino and I had crab Louis. He was filled with giant shrimp, clams, scallops, fish, mussels, and simmered in a light tomato white wine broth. My salad was brimming with crab on a bed of crispy romaine. Two notes: if you’re visiting during a weekday and don’t want to walk very far or are concerned about parking around there at night, park elsewhere and Lyft or Uber. Also, if using Open Table to reserve, don’t rely on the “notes” section. I used Notes to communicate my husband’s food allergies and neither our server nor the chef saw the note. Ditto my allergy, although I asked that the egg be removed from my salad. My husband’s soup was filled with cherry tomatoes. Fortunately, he saw them before eating one and the chef confirmed they were added at the end. He was fine."
