Market Broiler Fremont

Went to Market Broiler with friends around 5 pm on a Tuesday. No waiting. We got our drinks and food in a timely manner. A couple of my friends ordered the same dish (Turf & Surf Tuesday) from their Daily Special Menu for only $19.00. The dish has shrimp ,steak, and a side of veggie and potatoes. I ordered chicken piccata with a side of rice pilaf and broccoli. For dessert, we shared a butter cake topped with ice cream and strawberries. My friends said their dish tasted good and the price is unbeatable. My dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry. The broccoli was cooked really well. The dessert was so good. The cake was melting in our mouths, and the ice cream complimented the cake really well. I definitely recommend getting this dessert.

Great experience! I got the Lobster roll and was pleased with my choice! There were so many seafood options to pick from! The nonstop Sour dough bread !?!?! Amazing! Definitely got me full to finally be topped off by the Lobster Roll! Chefs Kiss to the Chef who made my food! Well seasoned and plated! Enjoyed every bit of it! See my pictures for a before and after !

Nope 👎🏻 not recommending it! My seafood pasta had no seafood but only a few oysters that were not even washed clean because I was chewing on sands with every bite. Menu said, oysters, shrimp, calamari and scallops. My dish had none but the oysters. The tomato sauce was too salty. The service not so great. We had to stop the servers who were passing by. The price, good for a fine dining restaurant but this wasn’t one.

August 2025 I visited at lunchtime for a work lunch with colleagues and clients, group of 8. This is one of the nicer sit-down places for a good seafood lunch, especially if you would prefer table service. Weekday lunch was not too busy at 12noon. The lighting inside is a little dim, but not too noisy. Plenty of service staff walking around serving constantly. Due to the large menu with so many fish and seafood options, it took us a little while to order. If you know what you want, it shouldn't take too long to order and get the sourdough bread service. Butter is hard slices in a dish. We had a traditional calamari starter and then individual entrees for everyone. Food took a bit, but perhaps they were waiting for us to finish the appetizer. Everyone was quite happy with their plates. Most people ordered fish and one lobster roll. Photos attached are: swordfish, sliced ahi tuna, and fish & chips. There was a lighter lunch menu with a half portion for anyone who wants a starter and a small plate. Drink service was heavily aimed towards those who ordered fountain drinks (soda, lemonade, and iced tea). Refills for drinks arrived quickly and often, but water for the table required additional requests. Overall, a good place for a non-vegetarian lunch in south Fremont area. Plenty of free parking in the Old Navy parking lot.

Good, good, good. 😁 Hadn't seen my buddy in over 5 or 6 years. This place did not disappoint. 👍👍👍 The food was great, *and* healthy. They got bonus points: I got a flight of 4 beer tasters, and while they were out of the single red/amber I was interested in, our female server actually knew what she was talking about in terms of recommendation. Plus, they labeled them. 👍 I'm not a a wine guy, but she even got to talking about good wineries up in Napa, and thereabouts, with my buddy. Really good experience here yesterday!

During our road trip, we stumbled upon this hidden gem. The seating area was both beautiful and welcoming, creating a cozy atmosphere that immediately put us at ease. I ordered the sizzling seabass, and oh my goodness, it was by far the most delicious meal I had throughout my entire two-week road trip. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the fish was perfectly cooked, tender, and flaky. The vegetables served alongside were generous, adding a perfect balance to the dish. I left feeling completely satisfied. If you ever pass through this city, make sure to stop by ; it's absolutely worth it!

We came in for lunch when the place wasn’t busy, so we were seated right away. However, we were oddly placed at a small two-person corner isle table that already had two extra chairs squeezed in, even though there were plenty of larger tables open. It felt like a lazy seating choice for a party of three. We started with the clam chowder and a dozen oysters to share. For my entrée, I ordered the salmon with asparagus and loaded potatoes. Unfortunately, almost everything tasted store-bought or rushed. The clam chowder had the canned flavor you’d expect from a grocery shelf, not a seafood restaurant. The salmon looked great with a nice char, but it was completely overcooked and dry inside. The asparagus only about three or four bite-sized pieces cost an extra few dollars, and the loaded potatoes tasted like the cheese was melted in a microwave with toppings sprinkled on top afterward. The oysters, supposedly a highlight here, were the biggest disappointment. They were tiny, paper-thin, and tasted like they’d come straight from the freezer with an unpleasant aftertaste. Service-wise, the staff lacked attention to detail. We weren’t given enough utensils for the table and had to grab extras from another one ourselves. The only saving grace was our server. She was polite and friendly despite everything else. To top it off, the bill included a $4.95 credit card surcharge. You’re telling me I could’ve gone to an ATM, pulled out cash, and paid a smaller fee…probably $2.95, maybe even $1.95 and somehow that would’ve been cheaper? Ridiculous. In 2025, almost everyone pays with cards. A restaurant charging premium prices should be able to cover a basic processing fee without passing it to customers. Overall, Market Broiler Fremont felt like a place trying to pass off average, reheated food as upscale dining. Between the mediocre food, poor seating choice, and extra fees, this meal was more frustrating than enjoyable. Definitely not worth the hype or the price.

Our waitress is very friendly and attentive. We ordered the Lobster Rolls, Crab Cake Slider, Harvest of the Sea, Jambalaya, Sweet & Spicy Calamari, New England Clam Chowder. Our favorites were the New England Clam Chowder, Lobster Rolls, Crab Cake Slider and Harvest of the Sea. The Jambalaya with linguini was not what my daughter had expected. It could be better. Overall experience was good.

While the food was great, what I most remember was the commemorable service from our server Jenna. Jenna had remarkable recommendations for our table and she always held us with the upmost respect. If I went again, I would definitely have Jenna as our server.

If it's fresh, then it's Market Broiler! I LOVE going here for my fresh seafood items. I typically pull up to the bar, order a pound of their shrimp, a pound of crab, and a pound of salmon. These ingredients make the best at home Louie salad. We won't talk about how I can devour an entire roll of their freshly baked, always warm, and perfectly packaged sourdough bread because then I'd be telling on myself-and the fact that I ate the entire thing at once. Honorable mentions-their front-end servers/register folks are usually pretty friendly. Either dining in or experiencing the Marker Broiler in home by way of take out, it's a good choice.

Had a bowl of clam chowder. Absolutely marvelous and delicious. Very hot when served so I allowed it to cool for about 20 minutes before consuming. A very, very, very good bowl of clam chowder. Rich, flavorful and tasty. Other menu items were ordered, but I'll list and describe that experience at a later time. Try the clam chowder. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy

The food was average quality and taste. The big issue is the cost. They add 2.75% to the check for credit card transactions. We went for lunch. We had a fish sandwich, fish tacos, one glass of cheap wine. Our bill was $71!!! For this small lunch!! That's before tip. They are charging over $9 for a tiny cup of chowder. No way the food or subpar service justifies the prices.

Came here for happy hour which happens 3-6pm on weekdays. You can only get happy hour at the bar or on the patio. We sat at the bar area which seemed a little compact but it was still nice. Also it did get a little warm on the bar side but it was a hot day! The service was pretty good. It did take awhile for a server to actually get to us, but once they did, it was good. The food was good! We loved the calamari and poke nachos. They have a good amount on their happy hour menu on top of daily specials. I'd say the only negative thing I can say about the place is the additional fee for using credit cards. I'm used to seeing that at smaller mom and pop shops, but wouldn't expect it at a bigger restaurant.

Review: Low and slow is fine when you're smoking brisket, but not when you're waiting for basic service. I grabbed a seat at the bar, intentionally keeping an eye on how responsive and attentive things were. Unfortunately, the "one-man band" behind the bar was clearly overwhelmed. While the effort is appreciated, it took 25 minutes just to get bread and butter--and that set the tone. Bars aren't just overflow seating; they're where your most transactional customers sit. These are people in for quick service, a drink, maybe a bite before moving on. In many fine establishments, a barback or additional support is essential for exactly this reason. When you don't have that coverage, you risk neglecting guests who are just as valuable as sit-down diners--sometimes more so, given the pace and repeat visits. The food itself may well be worth the wait, but the experience left me thinking less about the menu and more about the mechanics of service. Attention to bar patrons isn't optional--it's the frontline of hospitality.

Had a chance to try Market Broiler today for Happy Hour with a friend and it was a nice experience. The happy hour timings are pretty generous and on a Sunday they had it around 2 pm which was nice. We ended up going in and seated pretty quickly . The ambiance here is nice and definitely a nice place to come with friends. For for we ordered: * calamari - this was a little dry but not bad and came with a cocktail like sauce. * Poke Nachos - I really enjoyed this as they came on top of Wonton chips which I really loved * crunchy shrimp roll - this was a simple sushi roll but yummy and came with a lot of pieces which was nice Overall, decent good and a good bang for your buck - would recommend for one to check out!

Had reservations for a party of 12 on a Monday evening. We had to wait until at least half our party was there until we got seated. Once we were seated we were served pretty quickly. There's a good amount of seating inside and a patio outside. I ended up ordering the fettuccine Alfredo with crab. I loved that the crab was plentiful. It wasn't too cheesy but it was creamy. I enjoyed it. As a table we ordered the captains platter as an appetizer and there was a little bit of everything. The coconut shrimp was good and the crab flautas.

I love this place! I've been here so many times, usually for birthdays, anniversaries, or whenever I want to treat myself. It's perfect for special occasions because the food is really good but not fancy or stuffy. Prices are fair, and there's a ton of variety on the menu. It kinda reminds me of King's Fish House in San Jose, which I know a lot of people like, but honestly, I prefer Market Broiler. I've tried a bunch of different things over the years, and here's how I'd rate them: * Clam Chowder - 8/10 Really solid. Good amount of clams and not too fishy. * Wedge Salad - 5/10 Pretty basic. It's fine but nothing special. * Steamed Clams - 8/10 Tons of garlic and the broth is super flavorful. Great for dipping. * Traditional Calamari - 6/10 Not overly battered which I liked, but it came with a lot of tentacles which isn't really my thing. * Shrimp and Crab Flautas - 7/10 Really tasty, but I wish there was more crab in them. * Salmon Oscar - 10/10 My go-to order. Everything on the plate is perfect. Highly recommend. * Bone-in Ribeye Steak - 8/10 Cooked well and super flavorful. Great option if you're not in the mood for seafood. * Shrimp Skewers & Golden Shrimp - Can't remember the exact score, but they were both solid picks too. Service is always friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. Definitely one of my favorite spots to go back to.

First time eating here with the family, overall the service was quick and friendly. The complementary sourdough bread was nice and warm, soft on the inside and crunch on the outside. Overall my meal was good, but I wouldn't order again. Wish it had white sauce instead. The fish and chips were probably the most worth it on the menu. The seasoning options for the salmon was nice! My sister ordered lemon pepper and Cajun.

Market Broiler at Pacific Commons on a Monday at Noon was a good choice. We sat outside and i wss able to enter through the small iron gate as my friend was already seated there, and although it was a warm one, under the umbrella it was just perfect with a bit of wind blowing. Me and my friend continued with an order of Mai Tai's and they were cold and fruity taking me back to the ones I've had in Hawaii. We then ordered a Calamari starter, which was perfect and our waitress brought over the sliced bread and butter standard at all tables. Looking at the Menu I really couldn't decide. Our waitress then directed us to a new lunch menu and from there I easily ordered the Salmon bowl. It was the perfect choice of salmon and veggies. This place is the perfect go-to when I'm in this Fremont area of town. See you soon!

My bby took me out to eat on my birthday for dinner. It was just the two of us and he knows this is my favorite restaurant. He knows me soo well lol. I really enjoyed my time here like always. My bf told the server it was my birthday and they both sang me happy birthday with their deep voices lol. Both of them combined there was soo much bass lol.

This place is Freaking and great. My daughter loves. Everything is so good. She got the Alfredo and loves the warm bread and butter.

I came here 2 years ago 2 times and I really liked it. Unfortunately the quality and taste of the food has gone down... I won't be coming back. Summer surf and turf: 1/5 this was a combo of shrimp and steak. We asked for medium rare: it came back well done and we had to return it. It came back okayish but the inside of the steak was cold (do they precook and freeze this or something???). Anyway this was the worst piece of steak I've had in awhile. Everything else was also subpar in this dish. Harvest by the sea 1/5: this used to be my favorite dish here. What happened?? The pasta was overcooked. The sauce just tasted like a tomato sauce (before it tasted like a seafood sauce). The only redeeming factor was that the mussels were fine. I remember the bread being really good and now its just whatever :(.

Come for the food. Stay for the bread. Market Broiler always been moms favorite so it had to be a go to for this past Mother's Day. She got her usual Fisherman's Stew and shared that with my dad. The kiddos enjoy e the fish and chips and the wife and I chowed down on some noodles and shell fish. Oysters and mussels and.. can't forget about the sourdough bread!

Early Friday dinner - not busy @ 6, server was attentive. The dining room started to get full but wasn't overly loud. Food came out relatively quick and appetizers were paced. The kids portion is bigger than anticipated and kids enjoyed it. The masterpiece platter was a hit with the variety and the oysters were delicious. Also enjoyed the poke nachos. Sadly the lobster & crab were not as delicious as we were hoping... a bit overcooked and dry/chewy. The seafood stew is a must order. We MIGHT consider coming back or trying something different if we're in the area...not as impressed with the lobster & crab as we hoped.

Terrible service, terrible food! We were so looking forward to this food, but it was awful! I got coconut shrimp that was very soggy and watered down colada sauce. I got shrimp skewers that were over cooked and cold, plus, veggies way undercooked and cold. Mashed potatoes were instant potatoes, yuck! My hubby got fish n chips and they were so greasy oil squished out of them . The coleslaw was bland as could be and fries cold. The server was slow to get to us, and slow to bring our food, then slow to gv our check. We won't ever go back!!

The food is still just okay here after about 4 years of not coming but the service is still good. We just got some appetizers. Poke Nachos with Fried Wonton Wraps with soy sauce, spicy mayo, green onion, serrano pepper & avocado was good. Bacon Wrapped Prawns with little mixed greens & Bourbon BBQ sauce was okay Fresh Steamers with Mussels had no taste. Need it something, maybe more butter and or garlic. Not Good!!! Only come here because my wife likes some of their drinks.

Came in for Mother's Day dinner based on a friend's recommendation! We had a reservation for 7:00 PM but arrived early. Thankfully, they were able to seat us right away. The ambiance was lively, very busy, and quite loud. The lighting was also dim -- not sure how I felt about that overall. DRINKS Mai Tai - 9/10: Reminded me of the Mai Tais I had in Hawaii. The serving was generous, and the flavor was on point. Lychee Martini - 7/10: On the sweeter side. You could taste the syrup more than the alcohol, which I didn't mind at all. STARTERS The Masterpiece - 10/10: Basically, the whole ocean in one dish -- and I loved it! The poke was delicious, the scallops were fresh, and the oysters were solid. The California maki added a nice touch, almost like a palate cleanser from all the raw seafood. Oysters on the Half Shell - 10/10: Really good and super fresh! ENTRÉES Sesame-Crusted Ahi - 8/10: The Ahi was perfectly crusted. It's not heavily seasoned (as expected since it's served raw), but the rice that came with it really brought the dish together. Crispy Beer-Battered Fish & Chips - 7/10: The fish was fresh and perfectly battered. The real letdown was the coleslaw -- it was bland and lacked flavor. Overall: I'm really happy with my experience at Market Broiler. Everything we ordered was enjoyable, and the seafood, in particular, stood out. Would definitely come back!

It is illegal in California to charge customers more for using a credit card even if you tell them upfront. This was banned in 2024. Edit for reply: that's a bad interpretation. Disclosure only applies to "mandatory" fees. Credit card fee is not a mandatory fee because you accept cash payment therefore it is still illegal under SB478. See California Civil Code Section 1748.1.

Had a great time eating dinner! The food was very fresh and the portions were pretty big, making the price worth it. I tried their spring mix cocktail and it was deliciously refreshing! The service was efficient and everyone was very helpful. Their sweet and spicy calamari is a must-try! It was very crispy and packed with flavor. Overall, I had a great time and would love to come back soon!

Good, good, good. Hadn't seen my buddy in over 5 or 6 years. This place did not disappoint. The food was great, *and* healthy. They got bonus points: I got a flight of 4 beer tasters, and while they were out of the single red/amber I was interested in, our female server actually knew what she was talking about in terms of recommendation. Plus, they labeled them. I'm not a a wine guy, but she even got to talking about good wineries up in Napa, and thereabouts, with my buddy. Really good experience here yesterday!

This was a totally "unlikely" find that I was so pleasantly surprised by! Market Broiler came up on my OpenTable, rather than a trendy TikTok/IG post, so I wasn't sure what to expect. SERVICE: Shoutout to our waitress Alondra, so professional and incredible at her job. We made reservations but on a Sunday afternoon it wasn't very full so probably not needed. FOOD: I loved their "Creative Combos" section. For just $28, you get to pick 2 sides and 2 proteins ("land", shellfish, or fish). I found this to be an incredible deal. The portions weren't giant but they were certainly very filling. I ended up having to take food home! I'd highlight the "cheesy potatoes" as a side and the miso-glazed mahi-mahi. An excellent cut of fish with a seasoning that wasn't too overpowering. I would definitely come back here with a large group for a birthday or celebration. The menu is full of variety, prices are so fair for the quality, and there's lots of space for a big party to enjoy their experience.

Came here after a hike to Mission Peak and man it was great. Food amazing, atmosphere is great and the people are great. Here's what we got Shrimp & Crab Flauta amazing Coconut Shrimp was great, but the sauce was a bit overpowering Parmesan Crusted Halibut was presentation and taste was on point The bread they bring out early was really good, but that butter is something else. This place is 5 stars but our service wasn't that great. The waiter was on it in the beginning of our meal, but then disappeared for the rest of our meal. Asked for a refill and he was gone for about 10 minutes and mind you it's 2pm on a Thursday. It wasn't busy with one other couple in the whole restaurant and we never got that refill. Overall a really great restaurant and I'll for sure will be back.

We love it here. The clam chowder is good. The hot bread and butter is delicious. We had the combination plate is what we get. It's a lot of food and always good. Our server was Katherine. She was EXCELLENT. Her customer service is the best. She was attentive and kind. Great personality.

It was a pleasure experience and food was delicious. Definitely we had a great time - can't wait to go back again next week with my colleagues:)

Grrr... so a new menu came out today and we did not like the miso sea bass yet they still charged us for it. The sea bass was burnt and the rice was gross, we did not eat it. We gave an honest opinion to the server and by the time a sub option for potatoes was asked we were already done with our dinner. We try to support our local restaurants because the are closing left and right. I do believe our server tried to get the dish omitted (not for certain) but management said no and for that... you will get another low rating, unfortunately. Do better...

We decided to meet at the spot for dinner with some friends. It's located in the shopping center so there may not be parking right in front, but there is plenty of parking around. It was pretty busy for Friday night, so I'm glad I had reservations. We were greeted and sat rather promptly. We started with appetizers. We had the sweet and spicy calamari and they tasted amazing. Our server recommended the poke nachos and I highly recommend if you can eat raw fish and like a little spice. They have slices of jalapeños which added to another layer of flavor. For dinner, I ordered the chicken piccata. I expected it to be creamy so it wasn't to the best of my liking but still good. The rice was abundant, but a bit dry for me. I had a taste of the salmon and it was perfect. It was moist and flavorful. I complemented my meal with a glass of Chardonnay, which was a perfect pairing. I can't forget about the complementary bread. It was warm and soft. Our server was nice and checked up on us periodically. It's a nice spot for a casual dinner with friends.

This is first time for us. We ordered appetizers parmesan garlic fries and grilled fish tacos. Their fish tacos really huge portion but taste is so delicious For main course we opt for miso salmon and island salmon bowl. In miso salmon, their homemade sauce and spices are topnotch. My favorite part is their coconut cilantro rice. This is the first time I'm tasting this rice. Island salmon bowl is pretty good. Service is friendly Ambiance is good.

Had a good time here for Father's Day lunch. I made reservation ahead of time but it didn't look too busy. They give a lot of free bread which was bad for me being on a diet but my family liked it. The seafood linguini was good. It wasn't that much seafood and I didn't eat the pasta so I was still a bit hungry after. If you love carbs this place is for you!

Market Broiler used to be a treat my family and I would dine at every weekend. Upon entering, the place seemed clean, seating was quick, and service was friendly. Every table was served sourdough bread, which felt a little old considering it was tough to chew. Didn't dive in to it too much with it since we ordered other dishes as well Poke nachos are a hit! They were very refreshing and delicious. The chips were crispy and the fish tasted fresh. I got a creative combo for $33 (Steak was an extra $3) along with the Alaskan Salmon, cheesy potatoes, and coleslaw. Disappointed to say the least. For the $33 plate, the portioning was extremely small. I remember coming back here years ago and it had bigger portioning of the proteins. Steak had a perfect medium rare cook and it was tender but that was honestly the only highlight. Salmon was bland and dry, the lemon and tar tar sauce helped somewhat. The cheesy potatoes were also a bit bland, and the coleslaw tasted bitter and sour. Gross. Definitely not purchasing again The lobster roll was decent but for $24, super small portioning. Could finish it in 4 bites. The fries were seasoned nicely though and the aioli sauce was good but that's really about it. Market Broiler has definitely changed over time in terms of pricing and quality. A bit disappointing, might as well go to Fisherman's Wharf

Driest of all, our waiter Isaiah was really attentive and friendly. The bread was nice and warm. The fried calamari was crispy and it was not chewy. I loved my salmon bowl, but I wish it had a bit more sauce. My friends enjoyed their dishes too. I was extremely unhappy to pay a $2 fee to use my credit card to pay the bill. I have never encountered this before, and I do not appreciate it.

My first time here! There's a big selection of food and daily specials. We did the taco Tuesday daily special, so it was worth it. The tacos were pretty big and fulfilling. Liked the sauce. 4/5 Clam chowder: pretty good for something you can get outside of the pier 4/5 Sweet and spicy calamari: this was big portion sized and flavorful 5/5 Overall good service and good food. It come back if I'm craving seafood.

Market broiler always hits. I forgot to take a photo but the fish and chips are always good! Plus they give me a loaf of sour dough bread with my take out which I love! It's always easy to go pick up food.

This is our first time visiting Market Broiler and it was extremely lively even on a Tuesday evening. Our server was so patient and sweet that she made the entire experience better. Unfortunately, we didn't really enjoy the food, but it may have just been what we ordered. Fisherman's stew (2/5) - the linguine was good, but all the seafood was extremely dry and overcooked. The shrimp and lobster were both extremely tough and dry and the mussels tasted like they were old. Charbroiled oysters (2/5) - unfortunately, these just had a burnt taste and the oysters were extremely fishy Poke nachos (5/5) - these were delicious! Definitely a must-get and the highlight of our meal. Sourdough (5/5) - if I could just come here to eat the sourdough exclusively, I would. It's just a tad crispy on the outside (not hard) and warm and soft on the inside. We ended up getting seconds and finished it. I think we may have just gotten items that didn't suit us. I am interested in coming back to try the ribeye (which I saw great reviews for!) and their sea bass. Note that they do have a 3% credit card processing fee.

We came for a birthday lunch. We order 2 daily specials, which was the surf and turf, and the right size fish and chips. All of the food was cooked as we requested. The surf and turf is a skewer of at least 10 shrimp and a steak. The amazing part is the service. The restaurant was busy but we were immediately seated. We observed our waitress attend to the hostess desk if customers came in while the hostess was sitting others. She still got to her tables to fill drinks regularly. The bus person quickly cleared tables and did a very thorough job of clearing the tables, including the edges and seats on the chairs. Overall I will return.

Big day out for lunch. Been going to Market Broiler since they first opened over by Olive Garden. My trout was burned on top and so dry. The slaw was yucky. I use to love their slaw, think it must of changed. I had ordered two. Did not eat the rest of fish or slaw. My waitress finally came by to see how everything was. I explained the burnt and dry fish. I think she would have re done but by then I was ready to leave. I am really surprised they would serve something that looked so bad. Only good part of my lunch was the nice side salad and sourdough bread. Not sure I will return to one of my favorite restaurants in Fremont.

For the first time, I was not pleased with several of the things during our visit. Had not been in for several months. Pluses + No waiting. Patio seating is on the quiet side. Sport fan will like the TVs. The bread will always be the highlight! I always forget to ask for vinegar and oil when they bring it. Server is a nice young lady. Minuses - Almost everything food related that we ate was really bland tasting. Like no seasoning was used in the preparation at all. Food: The presentation was nice. The wedge salad was ok. Love the fresh crunch of a half head of lettuce. Dressed up but no flavor for being blue cheese. I can't stand instant potatoes but underneath the beautiful halibut filet was a heap of instant cheese potatoes. Fish fillet pieces were very small compared to the past visits. Rice pilaf was plain and very little flavor. Service was slow which almost made me regret sitting on the patio. We weren't refilled on drinks unless we asked. Our server seemed rushed. This was one of my favorite places but sometimes things change. I won't be spending my money here again. Sorry MB it was a good run.

Food: the best dish is literally the appetizer. Tuna tacos are very very nice. The rest of the dishes are just okay. We've been here twice due to a company event, and the portion or seasoning of main is just okay. Service: they are super busy and take a long time before they take your drink order and then take your food order...basically starved, but they have an amazing warm attitude. Ambiance: it's a nice restaurant in general.

It's been a while since we have been to Nor Cal, but our experience here was as wonderful as the last time. This past Sunday, my husband and I got to enjoy the happy hour in the bar. Everything was wonderful. The clam pot has the perfect medium level kick of spice and was full of clams. The bbq shrimp was so delicious and the portions were huge. My husband loved his crab and shrimp flautas. The grilled mahi mahi tacos were fresh and flavorful. We had a couple glasses of happy hour wine and left as happy campers. The service was great and ambiance was busy but not overwhelming. We will definitely be back again.

Pretty packed house on a Saturday night. Food and service were excellent. Food quickly came out and was delicious!

3.5 seafood focused hawaiian inspired american restaurant with large portions for the higher price point. miso glazed sea bass and seafood stew both tasty but everything with heavy-handed salt like the poke nacho chips with a lot of soy reasonably fresh and good for fremont

Good ambiance. Good food. Seafood and steak options are available. Restaurant can handle small and large groups. Low noise environment allows for comfortable conversations.

Great spot! We have ordered to go and food was just as good if we were sitting at a table!

The lobby has displays of all the different types of seafood and crustaceans, and looks quite fresh. They seated us in the bar area. They do give you complementary fresh and hot sourdough bread with butter. It is very good but don't fill up on it. I ordered the Chilean Seabass and it was sizzling and delicious. It melted in your mouth, I did not care for the rice. It was coconut, parsley and cilantro just too many notes of flavor. I like my rice more plain. My friend ordered the 10 ounce lobster and it was huge. He had to take it to go cause you couldn't finish it all. The calamari appetizer was OK. It had a chili sauce on it and gave it some cake I highly recommend this place for fresh seafood, and great service.

Happy hours M-F 5pm to 630pm Great price and free appetizers with Yelp check in Place is not too busy on Monday evening f but still lacks services Food is a bit heavy but favorable Love the bacon sprouts with a hint of swee and savory Clam chowders food but a bit creamy and heavy Overall is ok.

Updated: So I paid a second visit to this establishment, reluctantly. Off gate we had a not so pleasant start. The hostess was luke warm at best. No greetings just a, how many. I get it sometimes we just have those days. I was promptly seated thats always a plus. I was seated for maybe a minute if that before someone swooped in with water. No more then 3 mis later my waitress came by with the refill and pleasantries. Throughout my whole lunch she was very attentive 7/5 's. The food was WONDERFUL. Fish cooked perfectly, asparagus cooked perfectly, and the rice was also good. Oh my appetizer was delicious and that drink was nice. Smoky something can't remember the name atm. Well worth the $100 spent.

Love this place the food and service is always great!! Love the nice home feel ambience!

The service was great and the food was very good and delicious. My whole family was satisfied with their order and had a full tummy lol.
