It was a Monday, party of six adults, we haven’t planned to have lunch there but it was a great unplanned choice!
Most of customers were outside since the sky was so blue in a gorgeous winter day!
The service was very good, friendly and accommodating!
We were very pleased, everything we ordered tasted great, the size portions were generous and ingredients were fresh!

Very relaxing outdoor patio overlooking the pier with harbour seals swimming around. Friendly staff. Tasty appetizers and great value entrees. Their fish and chip was delicious. They use red snappers for the bread crumb battered fish pieces. Great texture bite into the fish. I could feel the freshness of the meat as it came apart but maintained its delicate structure. The broiled white wine garlic broiled oysters were also fantastic. We could probably order another round of these yummy oysters. The fried oysters were also good with the tartar sauce. Clam chowder and tomato soup were also decent. Overall a very good place to unwind on a Sunday afternoon. There was no wait around 2:30 pm when we came in.

Clam chowder was excellent! I ordered it in the bread bowl. We also ordered the half shrimp sandwiche also very delicious! Meal cae with a soup or salad on the side, perfect size for lite eaters. I also ordered the appetizer of garlic parmasan cheese fries the basket was huge!

Gorgeous morning ambience in Eureka, coupled with extremely friendly staff at Woodleys made for a hearty breakfast before exploring the local beaches.

I had a delicious meal with a beautiful view on a wonderful sunny Sunday afternoon. The outside seating was packed, and could’ve used another server for the deck area, that’s my only ding. The food was delivered fairly quickly, and the portions were more generous than I expected; the fish and chips entree has 6 pieces of fish, your choice of soup or salad, and 2 sides. The oyster shooters for $3.95 were a nice treat, and the oysters were quite large. The clam chowder is flavorful and on thicker side, which I enjoy. They have a nice drink menu with options covering all the major liquors, a wine selection and several beer choices. I will be back again!

This review pains me, as this place used to be where you’d take someone for a “fancy” dining experience. My uncle, who’s 88, still remembers it that way. Unfortunately, it’s gone downhill slowly over the years.
The atmosphere now feels more like a DIY café than a nice restaurant. The tables slide around on the fake wood laminate floors, the walls are stark and bland, and the echo is awful because nothing absorbs sound. The patio does offer a beautiful view of the marina and Eureka across the water, which is one of the few highlights.
The food used to be decent, but on our most recent visit (at my uncle’s request), more than half of the meals went uneaten. Three of us ordered the chicken fettuccine alfredo, and all three picked the chicken out and left it on the edge of the plate. It was old, extremely dry, tasteless, and just bad—not rotten, just unpleasant, like dried-out particle board. The noodles and sauce weren’t much better. My daughter, who usually eats without complaint, barely touched hers. I’m not picky, so I ate the pasta, but the chicken was inedible.
The fish and chips tasted like frozen, no-name store-bought food reheated in a fryer. None of the other dishes looked appetizing either. My uncle enjoyed his red snapper—but to be fair, he’s 88 and prefers places like Denny’s, so his expectations are different.
Service was friendly, and the staff was genuinely nice, which I appreciated. But the service flow was off. Plates arrived a few at a time—mine came five minutes before my wife’s. We didn’t mind, but some people would be upset. With a large group, I understand not everything can hit the table simultaneously, but the bigger issue was the salad. It arrived after our main courses, which is just poor timing. At that point, it’s either eat the salad and let your entrée get cold or skip it and eat limp lettuce later.
None of the six kids finished more than a few bites of their food, and most of the adults didn’t either. The garlic toast looked toasted but was as soft as plain bread. The real disappointment, though, was that no one on staff seemed to notice or care about the piles of uneaten food. A quick, attentive check-in could have gone a long way, but instead, it felt like they were just going through the motions.
I still left a generous tip because the staff was kind, but I won’t be returning anytime soon. If ownership or management changes, I might give it another try—but for now, the “fancy” dining experience this place once had is long gone.

The food is delicious. I ordered a clam chowder bowl and wanted garlic bread so our waitress put garlic butter all in the bowl and on the outside!! It was absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. They also have amazing breakfasts too. The waitresses are all super nice!! We just love this place!!

The place is right next to a dock so it’s very pretty to sit on the deck and have your breakfast or lunch.
The view from the deck is very good.
we got the calamari, shrimp sandwich and tacos.
Calamari was okay, we’ve had better.
The shrimp sandwich was good, it was very unique to see mini shrimps in it. With the coleslaw, the burger tasted very nice.
Tacos were a hit, they had a lot of elements including pineapple which was unexpected.
Overall good experience.

Awesome as usual. Danny attended to us today and was great! Local caught crab enjoyed on sadwich with big chunks of crab super tasty. Clam chowder always good. Sun was out, just a gorgeous day eating great food on the deck!
