Nice atmosphere, great oysters. Indoor and outdoor ( “ garden, behind the building) seating. Order at the counter. Not sure what happened but my order was totally messed up, they apologized and refunded me. Busy on Sunday 17:30.

We had the fish tacos and they were pretty good. Also had the fish and chips. Fries were meh. I had their oysters and they tasted great. Nice out door area in the back. You can play ping pong out there.

Delicious, fresh and local. Great service which is extra nice considering it's counter ordering. Patio fully dry when it's raining. Easy parking too. The dishes are so well done it's like being at California fine dining, but with a friendly neighborhood vibe. Love this place.

The Pier 45 soup with corn tortillas was delicious and the oysters were amazingly fresh! We enjoyed this place very much. The service was also great. A big variety of food, interesting interior like an old storage, with wooden benches and tables and enamelware. Highly recommend it is a great place worth visiting!

Oysters were incredible order the ones from seattle. Fish was fresh and fries extra crispy. Ceviche has to much lime but still okay. Little pricey but worth the money.

New place for me as I took my daughter out to launch. Very nice place with a beautiful outdoor seating. Back spot have two ping pong table to play. The food was really good. La Serina, excellent. El Coronado taco wow. Splash a little or a lot of their home made hot sauce and you have an incredible tasting food. Definitely a place to come and eat, relax. When your done, take a soft cone icream to go.

This place is phenomenal! The raw oysters and the fish sandwich were beyond fresh and totally delectable! The outdoor patio area is inviting and well staged (even pet friendly)! Five stars for the atmosphere, five stars for the food, and five stars for the service!

Friday happy hour- super quick friendly service even though the place was hopping. Outdoor patio seating is amazing, you don’t even feel like you’re right on a busy road in the middle of town and is much better than being inside where it’s loud dark and echoey. Big drink selection, food was good but made our stomachs hurt, not sure why.

Handline in Sebastopol is clearly a spot that prioritizes quality and craft. If you are looking for a meal where the flavors truly stand out, this is the place to go. I found the food to be genuinely delicious across the board, and it’s obvious that they aren’t cutting corners when it comes to the ingredients they source. The menu highlights for me were definitely the fish tacos and the sandwiches. The fish was fresh and perfectly prepared, and the sandwiches felt substantial and well-balanced. If you’re a fan of shellfish, the oysters are a must-try; they were incredibly fresh, clean, and served exactly as they should be. It’s the kind of food that makes you want to slow down and enjoy every bite. However, I have to be honest about the cost: it felt a bit expensive. While the quality is high, the price point might feel a little steep depending on what you’re used to for a casual meal in Sebastopol. It is the type of place where the bill adds up quickly, especially if you’re diving into the raw bar or ordering a few rounds of tacos. Overall, if you don’t mind paying a bit of a premium for a "yummy" experience, Hardline is worth the visit. It might not be the most budget-friendly lunch in town, but the excellence of the fish and those oysters makes it a great choice for a treat or a nice afternoon out. You’re paying for quality, and in this case, you can definitely taste it.

You order from a counter and then sit down at your table. We had burgers, which is a la cart, fries are separate and are $7. The burgers were very good, the fries were nice and crispy. I had a dozen oysters which were good, the sauce with the oysters was tangy, but just ok tasting. I also had an oyster sliders. The oyster was fried and delicious but not so good as a slider. I would definitely come here again.

Started off with fresh oysters, sampling all three: Totten (Totten Inlet, WA), Highwater (Homboldt Bay, CA), and Sweetwater (Tomales Bay, CA). Hands down the Sweetwater oysters were my favorite with Totten as the runner up. Next I had the El Coronado Tacos that consisted of beer battered fried rockfish, shaved cabbage, Chipotle aioli, avocado and lime. In my opinion, I feel that there was too much shredded cabbage, which took away from the flavor of the tacos, but they were still pretty tasty. My husband had the Inglewood Burger consisting of 1/3 organic beef, hwy 1 Honduras, lettuce, spicy pickle relish on a toasted bun, minus the thousand island dressing, and there was no complaint. Parking was a little challenging but they had several seating areas.

It was hard to find seating and we had to clean up our own table(we were told someone would wipe it down no one ever did). Their tacos lacked flavor. The habanero sauce, oysters and soft serve were great. Edit: we reheated the kids' fries in our toaster oven and they tasted just as good, they were not greasy like other fries!

There's a quote to be made about an overcooked burger slathered in aoli for 30$........ don't waste your time or money Ds diner, or Sequoia burger, is where you should be going. I'd rather drive to fosters on Sebastopol road. Hey atleast you nailed the ambiance.

I have been going to Handline off and on for years but the last two times have been seriously disappointing, Today we ordered and waited over 20 mins before asking about our order. Their response was it was coming momentarily.. after another 10 mins. I asked again and the person checked and said it would be another 10 or so minutes, “that orders were taking over 30 mins to fill”. We waited OVer (40) minutes ! For me seating on a hardwood bench over 20 mins starts getting uncomfortable, my lower back hurts. Also we gave a 20% when we ordered. No one mentioned they at a 40 mins. When we ordered. It was a sunny busy day, but it wasn’t full. My Previous visit my tortillas were cold and like cardboard, not good, since the fresh tortilla's are a big part or the toco.. honestly I am done coming to this place… something has shifted.
