Is now a regular spot for lunchwhen in North Portlad. Friendly help consistently good food and good value for the money. They have the desire to please the customer rare in todays world especially in smaller restaurants had oysters last trip grille perfect and my guest had the cajun fish filet sandwich which they raved about. Do yourself a favor and stop by when your in the area

Went on a crowded Friday night. The wait was short, everyone was friendly and even with a crowd the food was served relatively quickly and well prepared. I appreciated that, as the choice of appetizers was very limited, when I asked for something not on the menu I was immediately accommodated with no issue (and not gouged in price as some restaurants will).

I was impressed and will return.

From the outside, you may think to move on to a sleeker spot but you'd miss out on quite a treat! Everyone in our party was very satisfied with their orders. The fish was fresh and cooked to perfection. Definitely a place to go to for good seafood at a lower cost!

A little off the beaten path but a terrific neighborhood seafood spot. Family friendly with good service and prices. I have had cioppino at many places and this is as good as it gets. Tasty broth, plenty of chopped vegetables and a nice variety of seafood.

Local attractions are the University of Portland and the historic St. Johns bridge. If you cross the bridge, you're very close to Forest Park - the largest urban wilderness in the US and full of hiking, biking and running trails.

Make sure you check their hours as they are also closed on Mondays. The place is always full of repeat customers so that tells you something. Have stopped by a few times only to find a line to get in, so was happy on this stop to get a table right way. Everyone @ the table enjoyed their choices. The Oysters were both fresh & delicious. I only wish the bowl of clam chowder was a little larger & a with a touch of butter. The staff was friendly & prompt.
