It’s a cozy seafood Mexican-American restaurant with full bar.
Food is fresh with daily market catch.
Grill of the day sandwich was fresh, hot and delicious. Tortilla was perfectly crispy and not oily.
Usually busy and long wait in prime times.
Once you’re seated, you need to go to another line to order food. No table service.
Service is relatively quick after you’re seated and ordered .
Limited indoor tables. Patio seating are heated and vast.
Limited parking in the plaza but spots available in other close by plaza.
Accessible with flat entry and wide pathways.
Will come back for the sandwiches!

Fresh Seafood and High-Quality Ingredients
This is a fantastic destination for anyone looking for elevated, sustainable seafood in a relaxed setting. The quality of the fish is evident in every bite, and the kitchen clearly takes pride in sourcing and preparation. It was really good across the board, and the flavors are bright, clean, and perfectly seasoned. It has that great Northern California coastal vibe that makes a meal feel like a mini-vacation.

The Poke Tacos Live Up to the Hype
If you are coming here for the first time, you have to try the signature items.

Must-Order Tacos: The poke tacos lived up to the hype completely. The shells are crisp, the fish is incredibly fresh, and the toppings provide a perfect balance of textures. They are easily some of the best in the Bay Area.

Friendly Service: The staff are friendly and helpful, even when the line is out the door. They do a great job of keeping things moving and maintaining a positive energy in the dining area.

Consistent Quality: Whether you are getting a burrito, a salad, or the tacos, the food is good and consistent every time.

Logistics: Parking and Wait Times
Because this is such a popular local staple, there are some logistical things to keep in mind for your visit.

Plan for the Crowd: The only con is there is a long wait for tables, especially on weekends or sunny afternoons. The seating area is popular and fills up quickly, so plan accordingly if you are hungry and don’t want to stand around for too long.

Convenient Parking: There is a small parking lot which is nice, as finding street parking in this part of Mill Valley can sometimes be a struggle. However, like the tables, the lot fills up fast, so having a backup plan for parking is a good idea.

A Great Atmosphere for Socializing
The setup—often shared with a beer garden vibe—is perfect for a casual hang with friends or family. It’s an open, breezy environment that fits the Mill Valley aesthetic perfectly. Even with the crowds, the atmosphere remains laid-back and welcoming.

Final Thoughts and Recap
To recap, this is a premier spot for seafood lovers where the poke tacos are a genuine standout. While you should be prepared for the long wait for tables and a potentially crowded small parking lot, the end result is really good food served by a friendly staff. It is a 5-star experience for the food alone, and the vibrant local atmosphere makes it well worth the trip.

Amazing amazing place As a visitor in San Francisco, Marin county was my favorite part of the trip and this place played a big part in it! Their fish is fresh and their servers are super friendly. The vibes are immaculate – please do sit outside if you can! We got the popular fish & chips and a poke plate, and absolutely devoured everything. Their carrot habanero sauce provided for the tables is so good. The local craft beers were top notch also. Next time, i would love to try the fish tacos!

Found this beer garden while heading out to go on a hike and loved the atmosphere. The beer garden is outside with covered seating and a kitchen that you walk up and order at. Great spot if you’re looking for a quick meal or a relaxing place to catch up with friends and try some local beers.

We loved the grapefruit taste in the ceviche and we even threw some of the house hot sauce in to add a little spice. The poke was very tender and one of my favorite poke dishes that I have had. The fish sandwiches looked amazing, I will be trying one next time I’m here!

My friend and I chose this spot to eat after our hike on Mt. Tam AND OH MY GOD. We loved everything, we tore it up. We got the chips and guac, ceviche and chips, and 2 orders of the fish and chips. Without us asking, they were nice enough to give us 3 fish pieces instead of the two we paid for because they were on the smaller side. Everything tasted fresh and yummy. Service was fast and the workers were very friendly and nice. 10/10 recommend and we will be back.

It’s a spacious and relaxed atmosphere place. On a nice and sunny day, it’s would be perfect to come, especially with a friend or a small group meet up.

The menu is quite limited and the portions are small, though very simple cooking, but the fresh fish and ingredients make a big different.

Cycled from Fisherman’s Wharf and stopped by Hook for lunch after seeing the reviews. Fish n chips were great and the oyster is fresh. I love the special carrot habanero too!

Will be back if I’m in SF

food was good but the rice needs work. can’t seem to find any restaurants that isn’t Asian theme that knows how to make good white rice.
besides the rice, the food was really good. my favorite has to be the grilled fish of the day. it is dog friendly. kid friendly. the service is more like a fast food service. you order and pay at the cashier area. you get your own water at the water area but they do serve other drinks.
it was a new experience and our dog got to go inside with us

Perfect atmosphere and really good food and service. I had fish and chips as well as crabcakes on salad. I enjoyed everything except for the french fries, which were almost inedible because of how salty they were. My feedback to the restaurant is that patrons can always add more salt, so please, please go much easier on the salt and let people add more as needed. Otherwise, it was a pretty great experience and we will definitely be back!

Really fantastic spot. Food is great and service is warm and kind. Plenty of outdoor seating and the restaurant is connected to a plant nursery which is a nice touch. I’d highly recommend

Our 2 entrees and a drink were ~$45
