    Great casual place for the family. The Crab Louie salad was very good with lots of fresh crab. But beware, making a reservation does not hold a table for you. This restaurant is a seat yourself and order at the counter kind of establishment.

    The service and staff were great but this restaurant felt like a tourist trap. Not a lot of effort was put into any of our meals. Clam shower wasn't flavorful and my fish taco came with a bland bean/corn salad. The rice also wasn't that great. One nice touch is they bring a basket of potatoe chips to your table while you wait. Lunch for 3 without drinks $92. Way over priced for the food that was served.

    Great food. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. Ordered the crab Louie salad, generous portion of crab on a generous salad. Husband ordered beer battered fish and it was delish! Clam chowder was excellent. We visit Half Moon Bay for the seafood every so often. This is now one of our favorite spots

    Good food, generous portions, friendly service. Casual atmosphere. I had a Greek salad with prawns (3 huge) and my wife had the crab sandwich. The sandwich was very good, not overdone with mayo. Crab taste was fresh and clean. Highly recommended.

    They accommodated a big group. Excellent customer service. Food was fresh with lots of options. Location was easy to find. We were pleasantly surprised that the restaurant was not crowded ( maybe because it was cinco de mayo) . Crab Louis had a large amount of crab
