I've been working in Arcata and been coming here before heading into town. The view is amazing and the staff is great as well.... I've been getting different dishes everytime and been amazing everytime. Highly recommended for anybody passing by. Read more
Unique authentic restaurant right on Humboldt Bay. Unpretentious, delicious, homemade breakfast. Friendly staff. Nice paths... close by to walk along the bay and take in the natural beauty of the preserved bay front. Read more
Ordered shrimp cocktail, oyster shooters, and 2 crab sandwiches (one hot one cold). Everything was fantastic! I still don?t know... what crab sandwich I enjoyed more, they both were good in their own ways. Everything tasted fresh and very well prepared. Theviews outside were much appreciated. I look forward to coming back. Read more
Cute little place on the bay. Hot, fresh fish cooked perfectly! My husband enjoyed the shrimp sandwich and onion rings.... Excellent, friendly service! They were about to close but still served us. We had a great experience with beautiful views of thebay. Read more
Heard about a nice place to watch the bay and enjoy some good seafood. As a server it's hard eating out because you know what is... going on behind the scenes but I am here to help clear things up. Sat down and was quickly met by a nice lady who was veryfriendly. Indicated I was a first timer and she offered some suggestions. I ended up going with the lunch special of fish andchips and bumping it up with the seafood chowder for a total of about $19. Added in a beer. Soup came first, described as creamywith clams and shrimp (no fish). Oyster crackers on the side of course. The soup was warm, not hot with no shrimp and two barelynoticeable pieces of I think clam. Fail. Next up the fish and chips arrived. Fish looked beautiful (cod) with four nice sizedpieces and a good amount of fries. The fish was noticeably greasy on delivery so I let it sit while I ate the fries. Theseasoned fries were sadly not hot and fresh like the fish, clearly they had been sitting. The restaurant I must add was nearlyempty around 2 pm when I was there. I asked for some hot fries when it was apparent they were not edible and was given some withno problem. Definitely better, thanks. Service was very friendly but just typical OK, as after the food was dropped there was nocheck back to make sure it was all good (which it wasn't). I want to give this place 4 stars but the deal is that you are payingfor the location. And with that I would say it is a nice place to go on occasion but will not likely make a regular stop. Kudosfor the eco-friendly to-go box and all around easy nice vibe there. 3.5 stars. total approx $25, $30 with tip in other words, abit pricey for average fare and service. Read more
Best seafood place in town. And it's wonderful to sit outside on a nice day. Their crab benedict is the best but make sure you... get there before 11:00 a.m. if you want breakfast. If you don't quite make it for breakfast they're fish and chips is delicious. Read more
Delicious!!! Best dining experience! Service had a warm welcoming and friendly feel to it. Attentive service, love the 50?s... vibe! Will definitely be back next time we?re in town. We originally heard about this place having the best chowder and it didnot disappoint - keep in mind it is seafood chowder. Read more
This is one of my favorite places. I'm so glad they made it through the pandemic. Fabulous food. Always great. I've been going... to Gills for 20 years at least. Service is fantastic. Love the place. Outside on a nice day can't beat it. Read more
