I have often heard this place called the best seafood restaurant in California, and after eating their I must say that is probably accurate. While quite expensive, this place is fantastic. The service is top notch, the food amazing, with gorgeous presentation and an extensive wine list. If you like seafood you must try this place out, but expect to drop some serious money. For my mom and I with a glass of wine each and appetizers it was over $180 with tip!

I had 3 oysters on a half shell from Canada, which were fantastic and my mom had 6 littleneck clams which she loved. For dinner I had a blackened cod with artichoke hearts that was absolutely mindblowing. Perfect texture and taste. And we shared a fruit desert that absolutely blew my mind. So incredible. They obviously have a top notch pastry chef to go along with their incredible chef.

My mom had sturgeon, which she had never even seen on a menu before. It was good, though not as good as my cod. It was interesting though, a different texture than I am used to, not as firm as swordfish, but still firm, but cooked so well it came apart very easily with a fork. Very glad we tried it.

This place couldn't be better with friendly service, and the best food you could ever expect. You have to try this place, but remember it will cost you, and the wine is even really top notch, and with a huge selection.
