The location is great to view the bay. They have great decor that is interesting to look at and it adds to the ambiance. I was very happy my fish and chips came with a salad. All the food was very good, including my husband’s fillet of sole. I would definitely come back and I would recommend it to anyone in the area.

The cod and bread was super fresh but the staff seemed frazzled and took away from enjoying this cozy seaside restaurant. We were sat easily enough and chose inside since the outside tables were full. Our food came out quickly. I’d eat here again.
Bonus they have a very small flower garden and a dock to walk out to the ocean. There are blackberry bushes along the back of the parking lot that we enjoyed as we walked from a nearby Airbnb. There is a small trail that is a lovely stroll after eating.

Party Size: 2
Seated: 1137AM
Ordered: 1141AM
First ordered item arrived:
Salad and soup out 1144AM
Mains out 1157AM
Decor/Atmosphere: Fisherman diner. Inside booths and counter seating. Outside patio dining area.
Service/ Front of the House: Need to check in inside with the hostess.
Service/Serving Staff: Our server was FM as it was on the bill.
Sweet lady. Really made us feel welcomed. Awesome smile.
Food:
Gumbo is good. Shrimp and chicken is a slight kick.
Salad has chicken peas and pickled beets. Good solid side salad.
The coleslaw is lacking flavor.
The fries are semi think cut but perfectly seasoned… Great Job.
The clam cutlet is pounded clam then breaded and pan fried. It’s heavy on the breading but its also heavy on the flavor… thumbs up.
The fish and chips are pretty good too. Taste like beer battered .. flaky and moist white fish (cod) I think inside a golden brown shell.
Restroom: Single men’s with urinal and toilet. Clean, well lit and roomy. Sink area is clean but there were some paper on the floor near garbage can.
Will I come back? Yes, I would like to check out calamari

This is the kind of place that deserves several visits, as long as you are OK with leaving your dog at home or in the car — assuming that it is a cloudy, misty, low temperature, safe day! — because there are nearby trails great for dog walking. (Although there is an outside deck and grounds, only certified ADA dogs are permitted.)
The menu is standard diner fare, and there is a range of comfortable seating options, both inside and outside.
During busy times, it may take a while before your order is taken, but once it is in, it pops out relatively quickly (yay!), and when sitting at the counter, water and coffee refills are provided in a timely manner.
I can recommend any iteration of things with gravy on them: full biscuits, potatoes and gravy, a half order, or “Bobbie’s Biscuit.” Portions were generous and filling.
I appreciated having the option of tomato juice (which I could spice up with Tabasco), and there are also mimosas available.
During my visit in early October, the specials on the whiteboard included both Crab Omelette and Crab Benedict. Other seafood based options were also available.

Maybe we had far too many expectations, the sandwiches we all ordered seemed pretty small and although well filled, they had nothing really special although expensive. The specials of the day were just another crab sandwiches.
They had trouble to split the bill, we were overcharged, and it took some time to have it cleared.
The waitress was busy, it wasn’t packed full but she was the only person we saw taking orders, delivering all meals to the tables, etc. Probably she had too much in her head to hear that one of us have citrus allergy and we had lemons in the side but slice of orange on the fries.

The food itself was good and well-prepared, with flavors that made the meal enjoyable. Menu options seemed solid, and the quality was not the issue.
The service, however, was poorly executed. Staff and kitchen operations felt disorganized, and the waitress unexpectedly took my plate mid-bite after realizing it was the wrong sandwich. The lack of coordination significantly detracted from the experience.

Great and popular place. We hit the Sunday lunch rush, but didn’t have to wait for a table. We got our beverages right away – lemonade tasted house-made, water, and the large glass of champagne – but did wait a bit for our food (which was understandable, as they were slammed).
Food worth the wait! BLT and fries were perfect; cold crab sandwich was stuffed with delicious crab in mayo with bit of green onion – no fillers!
Our dessert was mixed berry pie, and vanilla ice cream.
Despite being in the weeds, the staff was friendly and took the time to explain the dishes (we were newbies), and the owner talked to us about the photos, etc., on the wall., and history.
We’ll go back!

Authentic fishing village diner with crab Benedict, crab & shrimp omelets, sole and eggs, just to name a few original dishes on the menu. Giant mimosas lol and a fantastic view. Went in winter and still awesome so I can only imagine how pretty this spot is on the lanai in summer. Thank you Gills by the sea 🙂

Gill’s by the Bay has been here for 35 years for a reason! This restaurant has a very cozy local feel, and the staff is amazing. Plenty of outdoor seating and indoor seating. We were lucky enough to be on vacation at the restaurant while they still had fresh crab in season. We ordered the hot and cold crab sandwiches, and the calamari steak. Everything tasted amazing! I would definitely stop by if you are in the area.

We came from Sacramento for a weekend away to visit some beautiful hikes. A local who used to work here recommended this place.
The crab eggs Benedict was absolutely perfect taste wise, the sauce tasted exactly like it should, although the yolk was a bit too firm, the side salad was really good the lettuce was fresh and crisp.
Husband had crab omelette but he felt like there was not enough crab in his dish and there were barely any bell peppers (they are extra to add).
It is a bit stuffy inside, but still a nice atmosphere. It might be better if some of the windows were cracked open an inch or two.
There was a sign on the patio that only service dogs are allowed.
The staff were friendly and hardworking.
I would come back to try their seafood chowder next.
