I do hate how close the tables are together. We can hear everyone’s conversation so we asked to be moved and they moved us. But also good food and service.

Our server was very attentive. Food was reasonably priced and tasty. I had the fish and chips and I was worried that the batter was going to be too much, but it was not and it was perfectly battered. My husband had the jalapeño burger and he said that it was delicious. Our aunt had the fish tacos and they looked good too. Overall, I highly recommend if you’re trying to find a place to dine on the Santa Monica Pier. Sit on the 2nd floor outside so you can have a good view of the ocean and also people watch.
