Probably one of the best spots around San Mateo for a casual meal or feeding a large group. There’s lots of large tables amongst tons of smaller tables with a great view of the waterfront.
Parking is ample and you usually don’t need to wait long for a table if you didn’t make a reservation. The seafood itself is fresh enough and always seasoned well. The menu goes from affordable to fancy, but overall it’s a good value. Service is fine and the manager will do their best to make sure your meal is to your satisfaction (within reason). Both times I’ve been here, the outside is normally better kept than inside, so get a seat on the patio if you can help it.

Always good food, and best clam chowder… yes, expect to pay a little more, but worth it. The menus are printed with the fresh fish of the day. It’s a great place to go for special occasions or just when you want something special.

This location on the water is such a fun treat! It’s tucked away on San Mateo and has two stories, the back patio is so cute by the water. We went on a weekday for happy hour (which is only at the bar) and it was fairly quiet at 5pm, by 730 pm it was a third full. Apparently on the weekends there could be up to a one hour wait! Makes reservations for the patio -its a highly desirable spot! Not many gluten free options. I ordered the Sole, cauliflower (delicious balsamic reduction) and green beans (boiled over cooked, pearl onions were delectable)! I’d come back just for the views!

Well worth it! The food was delicious. Even the shrimp in the cocktail appetizer had a really good flavor. You can tell it, and the scallops were really fresh. The ciopino had a great flavor. Sitting right on the inlet coming in from the bay adds to the ambiance. Amazing strawberry mint fresh lemonade, and great finishing touch with hazelnut chocolate mousse.

We were happy that we found this restaurant. Great prices and they also have a kids menu. We dined outdoors, in a beautiful setting, with a great view of the water. Our server was wonderful. Our food was delicious! In a relaxing environment. -Regina

Got seating on patio with great views but got a bit chilly in the evening.
Starters were great, loaded Rockefeller oyster, quite small piece of octopus for $19. Had halibut which was very good but pricy for what it was $42.
Service was outstanding.

Nice seafood spot. Ample seating. Waterfront seating have the best views (we made it for sunset). Bar and inside booth & table seating too. Happy hour specials available. Features famous Boudin sourdough bread. Definite recommend, especially if entertaining guests.

Very limited options for vegetarians, arguably none for vegans, but you should anticipate that going to a place literally called “The Fish Market.” still, the atmosphere was great, the staff was friendly and attentive, and my experience was overall very positive. i would personally go back just for the cheesy garlic bread alone, but the snickerdoodle ala mode was also an 11/10. pix included.
