This place is the bomb if you love wild caught rockfish. Just go! Go now! The kitchen and seating area are clean, even for someone like me who is picky. The sides are creative and healthy like tomato with feta or sweet potato fries or kale slaw. And the beer is cold. I haven't had rockfish that good since I caught it myself as a teenager. My friend had shrimp. She said it was amazing. You'll leave nourished and full. Kudos to the manager for a top to bottom great dining experience. Please open one near me!

This place just opened, and the staff is still honing their skills, but everyone was super friendly. We ordered Clam Chowder, Bang Bang Shrimp, and Fish N Chips with an add-on of grilled Shrimp. Everything came out fresh and hot, and it was delicious. The only critical feedback was for the side of Zucchini on one of the entrees, it was very bland, it needed some spices. There are only about 12 Tables, so be prepared to take things to go. It is counter service, so you will need to go pick up your food, but the food was on real plates, with real silverware. There is a kiosk to order from, but there are staff members available to take your order, which is great, as older people may need the help. It's not cheap, our lunch came to $54. Would Recommend.

Really loving this new spot! Stopped by for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. Staff were friendly and attentive. The food was also really delicious. I got the Giant Shrimp meal with a couple of premium sides and it ended up coming out to ~$27 which is a little pricey for lunch but it was worth it because everything tasted super fresh. Wife got a salmon salad which she loved and we shared the clam chowder soup which was also tasty. Only downside was they don’t have their liquor license yet so while their menu says they offer craft beer, it’s not currently available. We’ll definitely be back to try the other seafood options after a great first impression!

First time. You have the order machine, the atmosphere was great and the food was excellent. The food was served on real plates and with real silverware, not disposables. The portion was sufficient and the price was around $20 per person. There is free parking. The service was very good too.

★★★★★ 5.0 Richard Durkin · Nov 2025

This new California Fish Grill opened on November 10. They had an option for ordering on a whiteboard menu, and also in person. Great selection of fresh fish and chicken dishes. We enjoyed the lobster rolls, shrimp skewer, and chicken burger. Side dishes were a bit expensive but good. Service people were very friendly and helpful And restaurant was clean. Unisex bathrooms were also clean. We will be going again!
