    This is our favorite place for a great seafood meal. We took a friend for his birthday. I always get the Alaskan halibut….. my husband always enjoys a skewer of divine seafood. Our friend enjoyed the Ono. The hot out of the oven sourdough rolls are delicious. Ambiance is old but hey the food is why we go!

    Food is excellent. The service was not very good. It probably was because they did not have enough servers that night.

    Great as always. Halibut with salad and veg. Moist and prepared perfectly. Side salad was huge. Took most home. Scallops and shrimp skewer were absolutely amazing.

    This is the place to go if you want fresh fish. It is casual but the food is very delicious. The portions are a good size. The service was stupendous. Parking is free, which is a major plus.
