We searched yelp for seafood restaurants and cured fish bar was in the list. Should’ve checked its menu before we came. Despite the restaurant setting, this is a bar with reasonable selection of wines and beverages. Food menu is short and limited to raw items with no real kitchen. The dishes are influenced by Japanese cuisine but definitely western. All seafood tastes fresh and well seasoned. The chef did the fusion well; he is creative and talented. We love the grilled mushrooms with raw egg yolk. We also ordered every item on the happy hour list as well as the online favorite Caesar salad. The salad has a lot I mean really a lot of garlic. If garlic is not your most favorite thing , my recommendation is to stay away from this salad. As other reviewers stated that prices are high and portions very small. We came for dinner not so much for the drinks. after paying the $100+ meal ticket we still feel hungry. This is probably not the right place for someone needing hearty meals but not hippie or intimate or comfortable enough for a pre-dinner drink gathering either IMHO. We would love to come back to try more of the chef’s creativity if he expands the food menu.

Amazing food! This was our second time at Cured and it was as good as we remembered. So many great options on the menu, it’s hard not to order it all! Everything we ate was just so tasty! The fish is fresh, the flavors are delicious and you can’t go wrong with anything you order. The sake is equally good and pairs really well with the food. They also support other local restaurants – Wingen (best bread ever) and Patisserie by Simone (for dessert, such yummy cookies), so it’s a real treat to dine here. Great service, ambience and experience. One of our favorites for sure!

Food is mid, small portions and quite expensive (have tried fine dining before and it is not nearly as good as the price point). Servers kind of ignored us in favor of other customers that they were acquainted with already. Did not feel like it was a good experience overall, would try the other places in Livermore if you want expensive / good food with decent portions. It is just OK for Japanese American fusion (more on American side) but the portions are like 20 dollars for a sample basically. Not recommended
EDIT: Hi Franny, the 5 star review for Denny’s is for service which was not present at the time of my dining experience. It seems you are not open to feedback which is unfortunate.

Cured Fish Bar is Livermore’s hidden gem.
My gf and I couldn’t believe this establishment has been around for a year. We’re such foodies and we had not heard/noticed this place until a friend recommended it. And wow, this place didn’t disappoint! This place may not be a full-blown sushi place but they have a great selection of fresh seafood. We had the Caesar salad, fresh oysters, the flavorful chilled marinated mussels, delicious halibut sashimi, super yummy anchovy toasts, each had a cup of chowder and sake! The place has a great vibe – perfect place for date night, friends meetups and when you’re feeling for some fresh seafood. We highly recommend the place!

Absolutely amazing, delicious seafood made on the spot, super high-quality. The clam chowder was batch made with butter and cream and swordfish belly bacon on top. Staff and chefs were awesome too.

Absolutely loved Cured Fish Bar. The quality of the fish is top-tier, incredibly fresh, clean flavors, and beautifully prepared. And for the price? You really can’t beat it.
Every dish came out looking like it belonged at a tea party, delicate, aesthetic, and almost too pretty to eat. But once you take a bite… WOW. Everything was thoughtfully crafted and leaves you wanting more.
Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to. ✨

Went on date night via Resy app suggestion. Nice little gem in Livermore. Food was delicious, the Caesar salad is one of the best I’ve had, the uni on ube bread was a luxurious bite, and the tuna with a5 beef oil melted in my mouth and I wanted to savor the taste. Great for 2 people to share but some dishes are bite sized, similar to a dish on a omakazi menu. On the flip side, our bread came out cold(would’ve been amazing warm) and felt like the chowder needed the bread otherwise the creaminess was a bit overpowering. Lastly, I loved that they sourced items from local shops such as their the bread, beer and dessert cookies that were amazing. Overall enjoyed our night out trying something different.

I drove 40miles to try this place, never been to livermore, but got to try this place.
This place is cozy and modern vibe which I love.
We sat down at the dining table followed by host.
Menu was pretty straight forward and had not many options. Server recommended us to order at least 7 dishes for 2ppl. And we did.
First, I ordered oysters and they were super fresh. I loved the oyster the most here. The bread along with the garlic butter was very delicious as well.
Caesar salad – very unique texture of the topping they spread on the top of salad. Salad was very fresh.
Toro tartar – fish was fresh but it was a bit salty
King salmon – it was a bit fatty and oily
Bluefin tuna – perfect taste
Albacore – it was ok
One thing I didn’t like about the sashimi plate was they all had virgin olive oil that makes me can’t enjoy fresh taste. I wish they come up with other toppings or seasoning.
Service – could’ve been better. My server was too cold, I think host was more professional than other servers. Since this place is tiny (looked like focused on more local ppl or so), they could’ve been more friendly to customers(?) idk they acted like they are working in some franchise restaurant where random ppl come and go.
Do you think I will come back later? Maybe or not

This is a new little restaurant that combines Western and Japanese seafood into some really fantastic dishes, in a cute little space nestled between other great food places in a tiny plaza. Overall we had a fantastic time, and will definitely be returning. The food tasted great, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff were all friendly and helpful.
Top 3 takeaways:
– The Dayboat Scallops were amazing. If there’s one dish that we had that should become a “signature” dish for the restaurant, it’s that one. The scallops were soft and tender, the flavors were perfect, and the yuzu sauce added a nice tartness that didn’t overpower, especially combined with the olive oil. (We asked for spoons to clear the plate with after the scallops were eaten!)
– The presentation of everything was beautiful (in addition to being delicious). We took photos of everything because it all looked so good we wanted to remember it.
– The sake flight I had was great; all the sakes were light and smooth, but still had distinct flavors and paired well across all the seafood dishes
Things that weren’t quite to my personal preferences/tastes:
– The breads used for the Uni and Tuna Tartare dishes were too crispy with how delicate the seafood was. It was tough to appreciate the buttery flavor of the Uni with how crunchy the bread was. Similarly, the tuna tartare was on a tasty sourdough crisp, that while delicious masked the flavor of the tuna itself since it had a very strong sourdough taste, and was much crunchier than the very soft tuna itself. I would have preferred the seafood be more forward on those dishes, personally.
– Just as general recommendations, it would be nice to have an indication of how much of each dish is provided on the menu so we can plan for sharing and order enough. For example, we didn’t know that the uni dish was a single-bite, and we had to cut it in half to feed two people.
– We also noticed that it got very loud very quickly in the small space as soon as a louder group came in, and would recommend putting something to help dampen the acoustics, like some wooden structure or something to disperse the acoustic reflections.
This place is extremely impressive for a new restaurant with a really cool, unique menu that changes all the time with the availability of different ingredients. Despite me having some personal preferences regarding a few of the dishes, everything was delicious and we really enjoyed the meal!
I’ll 100% be going back for more and seeing what the chefs and staff prepare in the future! (And next time will be trying some of their oysters/mussels which looked amazing!)

Food exceptionally prepared. Don’t come starving. The portions are small and or the menu doesn’t carry any heavy hitters. Imagine a tasting menu with multiple courses but have to share. I wish they had more “filling” options. Flavor profiles are great. No complaints. Research the photos or ask portion sizes. Photos below was split between two adults.
