About
Right on the sand in Potrero, with the small boats anchored in the cove and a sunset one reviewer called a must-see. The kitchen handles fish well — an exquisite mahi mahi, delicious tuna tartare and poke bowl — and if you go spearfishing nearby, they'll cook your catch with two sides for a modest fee. Servers like Luis and Melina get named with affection, and the Cadillac margaritas have fans. One fair warning from a diner: on lively nights the kitchen can run slow.

We went spearfishing right beside the restaurant and took our catch over for them to make us lunch. Drinks were so good and the fish (and sides) were AMAZING! Friendly server, great view, and not bad prices. We paid $15/person to have them cook our catch and it came with 2 sides. We paid extra $3/person for ceviche. Delicious!
The sunset view is a must see! The restaurant is right on the beach and you get a view of all the small boats docked in the cove. The atmosphere is very chill and has a laid back "local" feel. Our server was great and walked us through recommendations. The food was fresh and the portions were large. We also enjoyed their signature cocktails and beer specials.
A lively location for dinner, but it took an hour and a half for our meal to be served after ordering. The two steaks were well done instead of medium rare, but they did refire them. My mahi mahi was exquisite. This is the second time that we have eaten here, but will probably not come back due to the long wait for food. Seems like theycater more to the drinking crowd than to diners. Too bad because the food and the location are both wonderful. Oh yeah, and we had to keep asking for the bill.
