Enjoyable location, friendly staff, good food. The fish tacos have a little bit of diced jalapeño on them so be aware of that if you don't want some slight heat. The chowder was a bit peppery but I enjoyed that.

Cool vibe and a super cozy place. We stopped by to grab some food before our friends left to fly back to Pennsylvania Thanksgiving weekend. Food didn’t take long at all. The beer bettered fish taco was amazing. My hubby got their fish platter and it was huge. Their outdoors was cute too and they had heaters. If we didnt have kids in our group we would have sat outside for sure.

It's your typical by-the-dock dining experience. It's much better of eating outside looking at the boats than sitting inside. Yes, seating is rather limited and the tight space will get crowded during peak. If you do order fried stuff like I did, please don't have it to go. It doesn't so the chef justice. The food has great flavor and incredible portion. I ordered the seafood platter: 3 pieces of shrimps, 1 crab cake, 1 piece of fish and a lot of fries. My recommendation to the restaurant would be cut the amount of the fries by half and put in extra piece of fish. Generally, the experience was pleasant and the staff were friendly. From the pics, you can tell that they care about the environment.

I stopped by this place for lunch in Point Loma after seeing how highly rated it was on Google, and it definitely seemed popular. Even on a weekday afternoon, the place was bustling with people. One thing to note: there’s no free parking — the lot next to it is paid, and they do not validate, so be prepared to pay for parking. The restaurant has a very casual, self-service setup. You walk in, read the menu written on a chalkboard, place your order, take a number, and find your own seat. The menu isn’t huge, but it offers a solid mix: fried seafood plates, stews, grilled fish, sandwiches, and a few taco-style options. Everything is based on fresh catch, which is a big plus. I couldn’t decide at first — the grilled lobster and soups looked great — but I eventually chose the mixed seafood platter, which was a giant fried assortment served with coleslaw and fries. The portion was huge, definitely enough to share. It included shrimp, calamari/tentacles, a big crab cake, and a couple pieces of fried fish (likely cod or another white fish). Everything was very fresh, crispy, and delicious, but extremely filling since everything is fried. It came with lemon wedges and tartar sauce, which helped cut the richness. Next time, I might try the fisherman’s stew or one of the grilled options, but this was still a satisfying pick. The outdoor deck seating is a bonus — you get a nice view of the marina with lots of boats and ocean breeze. Just be mindful of seagulls and pigeons; they are bold and will absolutely try to steal food. The overall vibe is very laid-back, more like a seafood shack than a formal restaurant. Fresh seafood, generous portions, casual atmosphere — definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

One of the only places I’ll go to for seafood! Everything is fresh, and it’s all reasonably priced. This is the place to go if you just want good seafood and a serene view without the frills of an overpriced dine-in experience. If you sit on the deck, be prepared to defend your plate. Seagulls are ruthless but the view is so relaxing and I promise your food won’t last long on your plate anyway. I love the grilled shrimp skewers and I never leave without one kind of fish taco and a golden fried fillet. Fry basket shrimp are yuge. Also Matt who works there is rad!

Omg outstanding location soak up the fresh seabreeze excellent ambiance and hands down super tasty delicious food. And reasonable price. Make sure to try there superb flavorful chowder and grilled lobsters with corn Loved it and absolutely recommend it. Clean and Friendly kind staff

Food was good, not too much seasoning so you really taste the freshness of it all. However they do condiments and seasonings at every table so you can adjust to your liking. I just got the fried platter and the campechana. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying their other dishes.

My mom amd I decided to come try Mitch's. The Spiney Lobster was very good. Mom had the Fried Combo. She was not really liking the Crab Cake (we are from the East Coast and she is a snob about Blue Crab Lump Crab Cakes). We were told that the fish was cooked with a Panko Crust not Beer Batter. However, she LOVED the shrimp!! And apparently, so do the seagulls! Hahaha! We were seated outside facing the Harbor and 2 swooped down and 1 grabbed the shrimp right out of mom's hand! She smacked it! But he got away with the goods! LOL! One of the guys that worked there saw what happened and brought over the stickers along with a replacement shrimp (which was super nice of them). We will be back!! The staff was awesome, kind and attentive! I recommend!

Had a great lunch here while in SD. Might be our new go to place as the food was excellent and service relatively quick despite being busy. Seating is limited both inside and outside but worth the wait if necessary. Reasonable prices, great selections and a variety of beverages as well.

Casual spot with good quality and nice views. - Crab cakes 5/5 - these really stood out and were perfectly cooked - Fish tacos (grilled and fried) 4/5 - these were great but don’t necessarily stand out in San Diego. - Calamari 3/5 - lacked seasoning and didn’t care for the dipping sauce but was of good quality - Grilled rockfish 3/5 - cooked nicely and was high quality but also lacked seasoning and the herb verde was lackluster. Coleslaw was nice however.

For that evening I loved everything about it! Food, service, and atmosphere. The only reason I'm not giving a 5 is because the seating could be a little more comfortable.... and there should be heatlamps since seating is extremely limited except on the patio overlooking the marina.

Food was great - recommend shrimp taco honestly better than other 3 types of fish tacos imo. And fried calamari was also great. Reason why I rated this place low is because of the section of the outdoor seating that really shouldn't be availble to sit at because of the pigeons and seagulls aiming at your food all the time. It's sort of on us also though to not wait out the indoor seating but either get more protection for the outdoor seating or make it obvious of the risks before sitting because it was quite unpleasant to move in the middle of the meal.

The food tasted decent. I thought the seafood was fresh, but for the price I was expecting more flavor. I likes the grilled shrimp, but I would probably pass on the halibut fish taco, avocado crab toast, and shrimp cocktail. Atmosphere was fine, and the service I would say was good. Next time I want to try the mussels and clams.

My daughter discovered this spot, and the five of us dropped in for dinner. It has a very authentic feel with a wide variety of seafood listed on a wall-mounted board. The setup is similar to a fast-food restaurant: you order at the counter first, and they bring the food to your table. Because we arrived at night, we missed out on the views of the small pier and boats. While the oysters, clams, calamari, and fish and chips looked wonderful, the flavors were underwhelming. It tasted as though the deep fryer oil hadn't been changed recently, which was a letdown given how busy the place was.

Fresh fish, nice view.... that's it. The beer battered fish taco was pretty average. Got a super small piece of fish, little flavor, and pretty expensive. Same goes for the shrimp ceviche... $20 for about 6 shrimp in a 10 liquid oz serving container and some chips.

Kurt Willmon

Food was okay but most was kind of greasy. Service was fast as can be expected considering how crowded it was. They have a decent selection of food and drinks. Seating is very limited. Overall, I don't think it's worth returning to eat there unless w can find a time that isn't as busy. Mostly due the restaurant size not being able to handle the crowds. That issue alone makes it overrated. They seem to be a victim of their own success. There's both and table seating as well as inside and outside bar style seating. The location is okay if you're into looking at a marina. Parking was atrocious.

When we arrived there was no parking. We had to park down the street. There was a line outside of the restaurant. You wait in line to order, and then you can sit down. I liked that you couldn’t sit without a number. We ordered the crab cakes and that was probably our favorite item from dinner. My husband ordered the sea bass sandwich. The fish was sparse for such a big sandwich we made just one sandwich with it. There wasn’t really anything amazing about the flavor and the fish was rather dry. I ordered the cheeseburger and there wasn’t no flavor. Luckily I added bacon because that added some flavor.
