Enjoy a unique culinary experience As the owner of seafood restaurants in Southern California since 2010. I’ve fine-tuned my culinary skills and observed what’s missing, I recognize there’s a need for a step up full service dining seafood experience. Simply Fish is that 2.0restaurant. It will offer all your favorites along with items that you’d only find at a fine dining establishment. Lobster Tail, Cioppino, Branzino, Chilean Sea Bass, Warm Sea Food Salad, Steamed Clams, Pasta and Angus Certified Steaks to name a few. The difference is a healthier choice at an affordable price. Taste the difference and experience the savings!

Reviews
Our waitress, an older woman with a noticeably raspy voice, started off with a dismissive and rude attitude. When I asked about the seafood boil and tacos, she seemed uninterested and acted as if answering basic menu questions was an inconvenience. Her tone and facial expressions made it clear she wasn’t engaged or interested in serving us.
However, when my partner asked about the Brazilian lobster, her demeanor changed completely. She suddenly became friendly and attentive. We were told the Brazilian lobster wasn’t available and that only the Maine lobster was offered at $99, which my partner ordered.
After that, the service shifted dramatically. She became overly attentive — almost hovering — which felt inconsistent and insincere compared to how we were initially treated.
The drastic change in attitude made us uncomfortable. It felt like we were being judged at first — possibly because of our the way we were dressed — and then treated differently once a higher-priced item was ordered. That inconsistency left a bad impression and negatively affected our overall experience.
Host and server were very efficient and amicable. I had the Sunday special plate, the seafood & entrana platter. It was a huge dish! Lots of seafood with beef atop a bed of rice. I could not eat it all in this one sitting, so I took it home. Very tasty dish! My girlfriend had the grilled swordfish with the brussel sprouts. Our friends shared the Sunday special plate, the seafood & entrana platter.
The fish and chips are to die for!!! Omg they were definitely the best thing on the menu. (my favorite but not my friend’s favorite).
The clam chowder was so so amazing too and my friend loved it!! It is more creamy and thick, which I love!!
Next, the poke nachos. Great overall. They give you a lot of fish!! And the chips were nice and crunchy and perfect for the poke. My friend thought the poke could use more of the sauce but I thought it was fine!
Next the calamari. I was not impressed. It was very chewy and rubbery, more than usual. Not sure if it’s due to the shape – it looked more like mozzarella cheese than normal calamari. lol. It was ok. Would not order again though.
Then, we got the blackened ahi tacos and those were a bust. I do appreciate how large the fish chunks were. These were definitely huge tacos. However they were really really dry and just not great.
And finally, my least favorite were the steamed clams BUT I don’t like clam in general!!! It came in a little tea pot which was cute and the server also gave us each a bowl of the clam water which was kinda gross and tasted so fishy Lolol. It also came with pieces of garlic bread which my friend said if you eat that with the clam, it tasted much better!
Overall, would definitely come here for happy hour again!
Atmosphere:
We showed up not long after opening and it was pretty quiet but was filling up quickly by the time we left. Clean, nice little sit down place with an outdoor area.
Service:
Colby seated us and got our drinks and Linda was an absolute amazing waitress!! Great table talk, not just a “what do you need” waitress, she genuinely was interested about what brought us to the area.
Now for the food:
Ah-maz-ing!
Linda was absolutely correct when she said the crab cake wasn’t your typical crab cake! Loaded with crab meat it was delicious! We had the sampler with calamari, clam, shrimp and the crab cake – all were cooked perfectly. Our main entree we decided on the fish and chips and fish tacos. Fillets were very large and battered perfectly, not a big o thick layer, it was the perfect amount of breading.
Portion sizes were huge! We spent under $60 and had leftovers – enough for 2 more meals!
