    Past experiences here were not good. This time was very different. The service was outstanding. The food was much much better during this dining experience. The Shrimp Tacos were 8/10. The lobster tail was 9/10. The Ahi Tuna salad was 10/10. Seems like this restaurant has finally found its flavor and groove. I will definitely be returning and looking forward to another enjoyable dining experience.

    I know there there is a little trepidation about eating seafood in the desert, but this place might surprise you. I have enjoyed fish tacos up and down the coast and was up there with some of the best. The service was great. My only complaint is I could not locate an Online menu. But overall a good experience.

    Just in town for a few days and was looking something other than the normal food options. I came across this unsuspecting place and was surprised by the quality and atmosphere in this small town. From someone who often orders spicy chicken sandwiches, I have never one that tasted this good! I never would have imagined I’d find the best tasting in Ridgecrest. The seasoned fries were also amazing!!! Service was quick and friendly. Definitely stop by here if you ever find yourself in this town.

    I’m not a huge sea food guy, but every time I come to town, we stop and eat here. Lots of great options, the food is always hot and amazing, the service is great! Restaurant is clean and quiet, all around, an amazing restaurant!

    Fish tacos were great! Plenty of options on the menu for whatever you may want. The seafood boils looked really good too. A little on the spendy side, and wish my tacos had came with more fish in them, but otherwise overall a good experience. Service was quick, friendly, and helpful, and the food came out really fast.

    Love seafood and this place did not disappoint. Came in and immediately enjoyed the vibe! The menu had an amazing selection but because I was by myself, I was able to fully enjoy the menu. I ordered an appetizer and the fried fish and they tasted amazing! Food came out nice and hot and at a decent time. The appetizer I got had lobster and shrimp in it and was phenomenal! If I am ever back in Ridgecrest, I want to come back to try their seafood boils with my family. Overall, good food, and great experience!

    My favorite local place for seafood. The food is amazing, best fish tacos I've ever had. Service is always great and the prices are good too. I've tried several items on the menu and everything has been great.
