    Service: Fast, friendly and efficient service. Seating was provided quickly and the server was eager to take our order, however he took up our order incorrectly. Ambiance: Cozy, Hawaiian themed interior with booth style seating options for couples or families. Interior is a bit loud (from cooking and dishwashing in the kitchen) and has a heavier seafood scent, which may be relevant for those with sensory concerns. Food: Clam Chowder is one of the best I have had on the west coast, with creamy, rich flavor, fresh clams, and a delicious sourdough bread exterior. The quality and quantity of the chowder bowl is well worth the price. Overall, if you are looking for the best clam chowder on Fishermans Warf, look no further! This is the perfect spot for a quick lunch or comforting seafood dinner.

    We stopped by here for our first clam chowder bowl. We originally wanted to eat at the grotto restaurant but they had a 45 min wait and we were starved. They mentioned that the market had same chowder across the way and we got seated right away outside. We split the large bowl and the garlic bread came on the side. Very thick and tasty ! Would def come back again. The house salad was very good. The fish tacos were okay. Would def return.

    I've eaten and been disappointed in seafood at some of the chain spots at the wharf but this place is AMAZING! Walked up and they quickly sat me with a spot closest to the window for the view. Staff was all very friendly and happy and attentive to refills and checking on me! The lobster roll was incredible (I wanted to order another just because it was so good and YOLO but stuffed because...) and it came with this super tasty pineapple coleslaw salad that was so fresh and refreshing!!

    The seafood was so fresh and the flavors were all on point! The cocktail prawns had just the right amount of heat and was so refreshing. The clam chowder had lots of clams and creamy and delicious. 1 star off because the server didn't write our orders down and brought out lobster roll. We told him we didn't order them and he was a little annoyed.
