We went here by chance when we stopped off in Avila as a random night's stay whilst driving the PCH. This was one of the best places we ate on the whole PCH. The service was super friendly and they put us in a great seat next to the window at the end of the pier. This is a rustic... more

Great location, wonderful views of bay, neat inside, they have tables that look down through the pier into the water. But...the food was very very bad. Clam chowder was the worst I have ever head. How can you be a good seafood place with bad clam chowder? It was not creamy, it was gelatinous, very gross. Go for the view,... more

We were very excited to eat at this restaurant as it was highly recommended by the concierge at our hotel and by our college age daughter (who hadn't eaten there before but had heard good things from her friends). It's very casual restaurant so no need to worry about dressing up. The atmosphere is nice and the glass bottom tables... more

positiv: Try the Crab Quesadilla! They were so good that we decided to order two more to have them for dinner at home! Very friendly service from the host to the waitress to the patron. negativ: a bit pricey, but worth it! more

Unique setting at the end of the pier. Tables had glass tops so you could watch Harbor Seals at play. I had Halibut Picata that was fresh and fabulous. I was trying to figure out all of the flavors when Ann, our wonderful wait person told me I was working too hard and went into the kitchen and brought me... more

Normally restaurants on the end of the pier have mediocre food, and a previous review said the food here was hit or miss, but we hit.... We lucked into one of the tables with a view down to the water below the pier.. Dinner was pricey but very good. We had the mushroom appetizer which was a little heavy on... more

Though this restaurant is pricey, my family loved it. If you are lucky enough, you can get a table with a glass window in the center of it that enables you to see down to the water from the pier. As my husband and I dined on delicious fresh fish, my girls were entirely entertained looking for mermaids (we didn't... more

I've eaten here several times during visits to see my family in CA. We have consistently gotten quick and friendly service and always request a table on their enclosed patio, so we can enjoy the nice views. (Part of the inside of the restaurant has glass flooring, so you can enjoy the sea life below your table while you eat.)... more

I live locally and so this is a place I tend to go to when I have friends from out of town more than anything. I find it to be back and forth as to the quality of the service and food. I have had fabulous meals, but have also had one of the worst of my life there. The... more
