The restaurant is across from the Safeway on Market near 16th Street. I went in because I was in the neighborhood. The interior is fairly no-frills, but I wanted seafood. I had no idea I would be writing a review for the place after eating there. I'm picky about the quality of my food.\r

I ordered the Lobster Roll on the recommendation of the waiter. Never had Lobster Roll before, but like to try new foods. It came on a plain sandwich roll, which made me gasp a little. Where's my San Francisco sourdough roll?! So I started with the coleslaw. Ooh, this is not bad. Moved on to the thick cut onion rings. The batter was coming off a little, but as soon as I tasted one that didn't matter. Exceptional. Now for the Lobster Roll with the plain sandwich bun - ugh. Wait a minute . . . this Lobster is amazing. Now I get the plain roll, which goes perfectly not to interfere with the Lobster. All around, a great seafood meal.\r

The service was good and pleasant. It's a no frills place. The wine selection could use a premium choice in each category, perhaps one really good red and one really good white. But even so, I'd probably bring a date here . . . which is saying a lot since I normally take dates to more high end places (USC in Manhattan, Boulevard, etc). \r

Four months ago, the space was a hot dog restaurant. Now it's exceptional seafood for the price. Thanks!
Pros: The Food, Simple Decor
Cons: One good wine is needed (both red and white)
