Great Service, But the Flavor Has Faded
We’ve been to this spot several times in the past, but unfortunately, our most recent visit left us pretty disappointed. It felt like the high standards we were used to have slipped, with both the food and drinks feeling like they were lacking that usual spark.

The Food
We both went for seafood options this time around, and the consensus was the same:

The Fish Sandwich: While the portion size was fine, it tasted like it had no seasoning whatsoever. It was surprisingly bland for a place we usually enjoy.

The Fish Tacos: My wife felt exactly the same way about her tacos. The freshness seemed okay, but the flavor profile was just non-existent.

The Service
The one saving grace of the experience was the team working the floor. The staff was very attentive throughout our meal—making sure our water was filled and checking in on us regularly. I definitely don’t blame them for the experience; they did their jobs perfectly.

The Verdict
It’s tough when a reliable go-to spot misses the mark. Between the unseasoned main courses and the lackluster drinks, I’m not sure I would be back anytime soon. When you’re paying for a night out, you expect the kitchen to bring a bit more personality to the plate.

Wandered in around 11:30 on Saturday before they got busy, so we were seated immediately and didn’t wait long for food. They do have entrees at multiple price points, so that’s helpful, and portions are reasonable.

The fries came out hot and crispy but needed a hit of salt. The fish and chips cost more than I’d like but you at least get two big fillets, the breading is robust and crispy, and the fish inside is flaky and moist, so no complaints about the quality.

The food was really good (clam chowder and lobster roll). My less than 5 stars comes from the atmosphere and cleanliness. I was expecting a slightly nicer place given the location, photos online and prices but this really gave me sports bar vibes. Our table was sticky and the empty tables around us were still dirty from previous patrons. It is possible they were understaffed because I only saw one server while we were there. He was polite and the food came out quickly.

Came in to try the lobster roll, unfortunately tasted more of the carrot salad than lobster meat. $45 (CA) vs $32 (MA), just because in California everything is more expensive; two pictures from different geographical locations.

Just sharing my experience: eat lobster roll when on East coast.

Sly’s isn’t a bad place. The ambience is nice and the staff are friendly, though sometimes hard to find. The food is decent, but overpriced, even if it is on the Row. The chowder is good but the bread is so-so. The fish n chips desperately needed to be drained – the fish was cooked well and the batter is good but the whole thing went soggy from the oil coming off it. The biggest issue – a 9 dollar Guinness poured out of a can into a plastic glass. And it was room temp. 🙁

Went to this place with my family today (on a Monday afternoon) and we were seated right away. There was only one other person in the restaurant at this time & we were excited to beat the crowd. The food came in a timely manner. I ordered fish and chips and that was okay. It was a bit oily & since then my stomach has been feeling uneasy. It wasn’t what I expected. My husband ordered a lobster role which the waitress stated was a $48 value. The lobster role literally had a huge ice berg of lettuce in It. Barely any lobster and more like strings and crumbs of It. Really wish I could have taken a picture. It was literally a lettuce roll for $48. My husband’s stomach is feeling uneasy too. The water tasted weird as well. I do not recommend this place, would not eat here again. The prices are high and the food is not worth It. The waitress’ customer service was very basic as well.

Nice place to grab a bite on a visit to the aquarium. Good mix of seafood options, bar food, and some basic entrees. The clam chowder in a sour dough bread bowl was a standout, and the fish tacos were fresh and tasty. The drink menu had some standards and a couple of unique choices. Food came out fast.

We didn’t have any food however we did had the drinks and they are the best so far I encounter in California. We travel all over the state over 10 days and this so far has had the best cocktails anyway in California located right in cannery Road even though it’s not waterfront is to die for I would highly highly highly suggest get the white linen cocktail, which was my favorite if you’re looking to relax and just have a good time highly recommend this place

We took our family of four here for lunch on a Saturday and arrived around 12:00 p.m., before it got crowded. After being seated, it took about 10 minutes for someone to take our order. Our food arrived roughly 20 minutes later, coming out a couple of minutes apart.

After our initial food and drink order was taken, we didn’t see our waiter again for at least an hour. He eventually dropped off the check without saying a word and walked away. About 10 minutes later, he returned to pick up the card, and another five minutes after that he dropped it back on the table, again without saying anything. In total, we were there for at least an hour and a half, and we were never checked on once.

A manager or hostess walked by several times while we were clearly waiting and didn’t step in. The service overall was extremely disappointing. Another couple seated behind us actually left after waiting 40 minutes for their food.

If a restaurant on the main strip of the Wharf can’t handle a moderate Saturday lunch crowd, that’s a problem.

On a positive note, the food was good, but unfortunately, the service overshadowed the experience.
