What our guests are saying
Great find as we were wandering around this area. Francisco is a character and very entertaining. Cape Fear burger started with a good quality patty hand made and all fresh ingredients. Shoestring fries were perfect. The tandoori chicken sandwich was also very tasty and the blue cheese vinaigrette was outstanding, again scratch made.

The food was delicious! The sea devil hot pot had so much sea food- see photo. It was spectacular. We also had the steak and the clam chowder. Both were great. The waitress was sweet and attentive. I highly recommend coming here. We will be back for sure.

We stumbled upon this place while driving back from Jenner Headlands. We were all in the mood for fish and chips so the Seafood sign caught our attention! Quaint place with a super friendly and attentive staff. The fish and chips were hand made and delicious. Perfect little lunch spot after our hike.
