Pescadero Seafood & Oyster Bar

Wow, as they say, don't judge the book by its cover. Go in and find out, I have a Cajun salmon that was highly recommended by the server. She was being realistic per my choices of entree. I gave it a shot, indeed, the sauce is delicious and savory, it'll melt in your mouth. Friendly staff, service is great. Will come back again.

A tad high price for the amount of food. Good lobster roll. Veggies and salads good but the grilled octopus was overly spiced/salted. Good price for savignon blanc on tap.

The night started off very strong. Our server Justin was a joy and had personality, a sense of humor, and a great vibe. He was attentive, made great suggestions for drinks, and kept everyone at the table in a great mood. The food... the food was hit and miss. Our appetizers were amazing. The calamari was a major hit with the entire table. And it gave us high hopes for the rest of the meal. Which was honestly a letdown. We ordered a variety of food, and the general consensus was, "It's alright." I ordered the seafood tower and got a giant bowl of ice. There wasn't enough food on the plate to feed one person, and for the price, I think that is unacceptable. So if you go be prepared because again the entire staff is pleasant and kind. However, some of the food can miss the mark.

I’d say this place is my fav spot in Wilmette! Everything for me was great, foods, drinks, and service. If you visit Wilmette and want to enjoy sitting and chill at the patio I recommended you to visit this bar!
