If you’re in Cupertino and craving authentic seafood, this hidden gem is absolutely worth a visit. The quality and freshness of the food truly stand out. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor and clearly prepared with great attention to detail. We started with their famous clam chowder, and it lived up to the hype—rich, creamy, and full of tender clams. It was the perfect comfort dish to begin our meal. Next, we ordered the grilled fish, which was perfectly cooked with a beautiful char on the outside while remaining moist and flaky inside. It was seasoned just right and served with a light garnish that complemented it without overpowering the natural flavor of the fish. The highlight, however, might have been the seafood pasta. Generously loaded with shrimp, scallops, and calamari, the pasta was tossed in a savory sauce that brought all the flavors together. The garlic bread on the side was warm, buttery, and crisp, making it the perfect accompaniment. While the food was exceptional, the ambiance could use some improvement. The space feels a bit dated and could benefit from a more modern or coastal-inspired refresh to better reflect the quality of the cuisine. That said, the service was friendly and prompt, and the focus clearly remains on delivering great food—which they do exceptionally well. Overall, if you’re in or around the Cupertino area and want to enjoy some truly delicious and fresh seafood, this is definitely a spot worth checking out. The flavors, portions, and quality make it a standout, even if the interior isn’t fancy. For seafood lovers looking for a satisfying and authentic experience, this place delivers.

We loved it. Both the atmosphere and the food. Plus, they have a happy hour from 3 to 5, and the food and drink options are a great price. Nice little restaurant in Cupertino.

The waiter was attentive and sat us down right away. We ordered fish and chips, which might have been the best one I’ve had so far in my life. This is a nice place to hangout with friends or loved ones.

We had a truly satisfying meal at this fish restaurant, both in terms of quality and quantity. The highlight was the grilled trout, which was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and served with two generous sides of fresh salad and seasonal vegetables. A particularly thoughtful touch was the way the salad was served: on its own plate and presented as an antiplate—a small appetizer-like dish to enjoy while waiting for the main course. It’s a simple yet elegant detail that added to the dining experience. We also tried the ciabatta crab sandwich, which is very delicious with crunchiness of bacons, well flavored crab filling , lettuce and avocado!

We come here once every while . Really like their fried dishes : fish, oysters, scallops, prawns. All great. The clam chowder is good too.

We've now eaten here several times, always getting the grilled fish plates. Casual dining and simple decor, but prompt and friendly service. Generous portions consistently cooked correctly. The calamari appetizer is excellent - crisp with a mix of rings and tentacles. If you like a little zip, try the Spicy Ranch dip. Try the sweet potato fries. 4% CC fee (vs. cash), which they are upfront about. Can't comment on the desserts because we never have room!

Have passed near this area many times and never knew this was here, found it on Google maps and decided to give it a try. Food was pretty good (a lot of items on the menu are fried). Service was prompt and very friendly. Atmosphere is nothing special, very informal but decent for a lunch or casual dinner.

We had a taste for fish. The City Fish came up on our radar. Seems like a lot of people love it. The atmosphere is easygoing, neat and clean. But...we came for fish. The menu did not disappoint. We went with seabass and catfish. The filets were sizable. The taste was spot-on. Portions for the sides were large. Overall, plenty of food. All for a great, fair price. Service was attentive, but not too much. Yes, we loved our experience.
