We really enjoyed our experience here. The food was delicious. We got the daily special and really enjoyed all the things we ate. There were not enough anchovies remaining (although we ordered them), so they kindly brought us fried calamari which was very great!

Most importantly, the service was great! We were very happy with the kind and attentive service. I would definitely recommend and would go again.
The beautiful view is a plus.

Whenever I’m in town, I come here. Domenico’s is an awesome place for great seafood and picturesque photos. Ray & Roberto did a fantastic job servicing us. They mentioned specials, popular choices and even teased us with a dessert platter at the end. I highly recommend this place! Thank you!

As excited visitor myself,many of my friends recommended this restaurant to us, but what happened tonight truly surprised me.

The main issue was the service attitude… After we arrived, the waiter serving us—a middle-aged man whose name starts with the letter A, he had a very bad attitude!I don’t want to single him out too harshly, so I’ll only mention the initial of his name.

Besides the appetizer, the three of us ordered three main dish (one seafood grill and two same pastas). The waiter only did two dishes back to us. When we asked about where is the other pasta?He said he only entered two main dish, and his attitude was extremely rude! I was shocked because I specifically emphasized that the pasta was two identical portions. After we followed up twice, he finally realized he had made a mistake, but still responded confidently with “I know, I know,” then walked away. There was no apology at all—not even a perfunctory one.

When we were paying the bill at the end, I don’t know if he was trying to get a tip, but he finally said “sorry.” However, as I mentioned earlier, he acted very self-righteous the entire time. I was shocked by such an attitude, especially when the issue was clearly his fault. Although we still left a tip, he kept a dark face throughout.

Lastly, I want to talk about the food. Overall, the food was quite good. I ordered pasta, and the portion size was surprisingly large, which I appreciated, and the taste was good. However, the problem was the dessert. I attached a photo of the sample dessert the waiter brought to our table. I ordered tiramisu, and the third photo shows the tiramisu I actually received. I don’t know if the restaurant is trying to save on the tiramisu mix, but honestly, the difference between what you show as the sample and what was served is far too big, which left me rather disappointed.

Except for the waiter whose name starts with the letter A, the other staff members had very good attitudes. I don’t know if our waiter was having some kind of issue tonight, but to be honest, his overall attitude was baffling to me because he was extremely rude for no reason.

I think the restaurant is a bit expensive — it cost $200 for 3 people. But overall, for the taste of the food, I’m willing to spend the money. However, because of the attitude of your waiter, I really wouldn’t want to come back here again.

We came with our twins and they were able to accomodate us with our stroller. We had A whole Dungeoness Crab, Grilled Chicken sandwich and a bowl of Clam Chowder. There was so much food, we even had something to take out. Fast servive and Jason S, our server was very attentive. The only thing I noticed was, the Crab was already open and the carapace (hardshell) was already cleaned, so I wouldn’t say it was a whole crab at all. I missed the good parts which are the tomalley and roe. It was also dry and not juicy as it should be. If you want to order the Whole Crab, make sure you tell them you want the whole thing. Other than that the sandwich was delish and the Chowder was great.

Best place for seafood and great service! Our first visit to Domenico’s was impressive! From the staff to the food, excellent!! Our waiter Zane was so amazing that we came back a second time!! Fun personality, consistently attentive and just on top of it!! We tried the special Octupus appetizer, the crab cakes and the fried calamari appetizer. All excellent, fresh and full of flavor. Best octopus dish ever! Our main dish, both visits, Grilled Sea Bass, lemon butter caper sauce with creamy Risotto (best we’ve ever had) and seasonal vegetables. Phenomenal!! We truly enjoyed our meal and the views. Living in Denver and being from Florida, we missed fresh seafood!! Their menu has so many great options! We cannot wait to go back!! Highly recommended!!

Five stars for both service and atmosphere. I loved the location, the expansive windows, the seals, the pelicans, the seagulls. The entire wait staff was so kind and attentive. The food however was a bit lacking. The chowder bowl was an underwhelming portion, and the flavor didnt pop like I had hoped and didnt meet my expectations.

Had a lovely date here the other day. The staff and service here were very friendly and thorough. The food was amazing, their fried calamari was just the right amount of crispy and their Redsnapper was so juicy and buttery.

Only gripe was all the window seats had been taken, so we sat in an admittedly cramped table against the wall.

Really nice crew that was very thorough and informative. They stayed near the whales long enough for plenty of photos, without disturbing them. The photographer, Daniel, took incredible, calendar worthy photos! The boat is small, so if you like smaller groups and can tolerate some extra tossing from the waves, this is a great tour to book!

We chose this by luck. We had the best Cioppino we ever had so far , fresh seafood selection and perfectly balanced broth. You get Delicious warm bread with butter , server was attentive and quick. We were very impressed! Definitely we will be back when we come back to the area again!
