The Fish Market - San Diego

I recently had a fantastic group dining experience at The Fish Market in San Diego! From the moment we arrived, the staff was accommodating and friendly, ensuring our large party was well taken care of. The seafood was incredibly fresh, and the menu offered a great variety of options to satisfy everyone’s tastes. I highly recommend the lobster and the grilled Salmon fish – both were exceptional! The lively atmosphere and stunning waterfront views added to the overall experience. If you're looking for a perfect spot for group dining, The Fish Market should be at the top of your list!

Had an absolutely wonderful lunch here. Got the outdoor seating right next to the water, watched the boats tool around the bay. Food was fantastic! Fresh, well prepared sea food, perfect amount of seasoning. Our server was happy and very prompt with drinks and all our meal items. Would absolutely try again!

The swordfish was amazing! Noemmy was our waitress and she was amazing! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Fish Market in San Diego is a fantastic spot for seafood lovers! One of the best parts about dining here is the option to sit right on the water, offering beautiful views of the bay and a relaxing atmosphere. The fresh seafood is top-notch—I highly recommend the clam chowder and the grilled fish. The menu is varied with plenty of choices, from oysters to crab, and everything is prepared with care. The service is friendly and efficient, and the outdoor seating makes it a perfect place to enjoy a meal while watching the boats go by. Whether you’re visiting or a local, The Fish Market is a must-visit for great seafood and unbeatable views!

We had a fun dining experience by the water. The place was decked out for the holidays. We arrived early with a reservation and got seated quickly. Service was great. The fried shrimp was the best out of everything we ordered. I really enjoyed the seasonal tiki drink - the Winter Colada, which had peppermint RumChata, spiced rum and coconut cream.

Fresh fish 🐠 for those who love 💕 fresh fish & service was quick and good. Portion is a little small and not generous. Nevertheless our server Steven was amazing and fast. Dessert was good with ice cream. Our sea food included Halibut and Tuna with vegetables and potatoes as per photos. Location is super convenient if you are in this area of San Diego by the water.

Review for The Fish Market - San Diego The Laguna Bay Oysters were fresh with a mild oyster flavor. However, one out of the six had a slightly off aftertaste. The Clam Chowder appeared thick but was actually quite thin, with too many potatoes and not enough clams. The Ahi Tuna Pokebowl had fresh and generously sized tuna pieces, but the rice was slightly undercooked. As for the Crispy Fish Taco, the sauce was flavorful, but the batter was too thick, soaking up too much sauce and resulting in a somewhat soggy texture. Overall, the ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were good, but a few details in the dishes could use improvement. Food quality earns a 3-star rating. The ambiance, with its excellent decor and prime location, deserves 5 stars. Parking was convenient, and the staff provided great service, which also merits 5 stars. Overall, a solid 4-star experience.

We had a great dinner on a Sunday night. It was spacious and looked like a classic diner. The bartender was nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The drink menu was diverse. The food was amazing. It took a little while, but the flavor in the seafood plater was amazing 👏. We had a good time in San Diego. We will be back soon.

I went to San Diego on a business trip and wanted to try out the Fish Market as I heard good things about it and I will say I was not disappointed! My husband and I enjoyed the beach view, food was good, and our server was super friendly. We ended up getting the Fried Calamari (We LOVED IT) and Octopus for appetizers- both very delicious!! For drinks we got the Strawberry Bliss & Lavender Lemonade Mocktails. We enjoyed both as they were fresh and went well with the food. As of entrees we got the Grilled Salmon with Pink Peppercorn Sauce & Fish and Shrimp Yellow Curry. The salmon was so good! Definitely enjoyed it and the curry was good but I personally don’t prefer curry as much. Just wanted to give it a try and it was still good. Overall definitely would recommend!

We were in town for a business trip and decided to try the Fish Market with some colleagues and my family. The food came out quickly, the service was attentive. The food quality was fine, nothing particularly noteworthy but everyone said their dishes tasted good. I had the Ahi Tuna entree and oysters as a starter. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the cost of San Diego in general. They were very patient with our one year old as well, which is always appreciated. We will be back when we visit San Diego in the future.

Had a very nice dinner here! It's a very big restaurant on the marina with a casual, relaxed vibe. Our table wasn't quite ready when we got there but there were plenty of seats at the bar and we were able to order some drinks for 5-10 minutes while we waited. Our server, Noemi, really made the evening. She was so friendly and positive, checking on us regularly and letting us know the status of our food. She was awesome. We started with some oysters and mussels - both great! For entree, I had the Moroccan swordfish (seasonal special). The fish was good, but the Moroccan element was just a bit of cooked tomato and olive on top of the fish. I feel like it could have been a bit more special, or maybe they could've incorporated the flavors into the sides (just a plain rice pilaf and sautéed veggies). Overall, a good spot if you want good fish with great service!

We were seated outside which was lovely. Ordered a drink and oysters. Oysters were out in 2 seconds. Ordered a salad and our entree. Salads came out along with bread. No water was offered. We barely got into the salad when the entrees came out. Mentioned to our server that we felt very rushed! She apologized but we were continued to feel pressed. Staff kept trying to clear our plates that we were still eating. The food was good but honestly we felt totally rushed! And it wasn't like the restaurant was on a wait.

We had a party of six. The service was good. The clam Clowder was warm when it was served. We had the soup returned for a warmer temperature. The bread is delicious and served with butter. You can decide to dine outside with a beautiful view or inside. We dine inside due to the cold weather. 18% was added to our bill for a table of six.

We were a party of 7. While a bit slow, the server managed the large table well. The only exception was how long it took to get 2 orders of pasta from the kids menu. The best thing I ate was the crab cake appetizer with a arugula and Cajon remoulad. A perfect bite. My ahi poke bowl wasn't quite as successful. I'd like more attention paid to the fish and the flavors. I did like some of the garnishes like the thinly sliced cucumber and the seaweed salad. My other ordered the clam chowder whic9h was thick and heavy with cream. His swordfish was simply prepared and the sides could have come from a large catered dinner. The bread was served warm, a simple sliced baguette. Who can complain about that?

I came with some coworkers and our waiter was so kind and accommodating. However, I know the name of the restaurant is "The Fish Market", but there definitely is a strong fishy smell when first entering, so just in case you are more sensitive to smells, this may not be the place for you. I got used to it pretty quickly though, and genuinely enjoyed the homely atmosphere of the restaurant. My favorite was the calamari appetizer. The clam chowder was good too, but the texture was very thick. For my dish, I enjoyed the fried shrimp, but I found the fish lacking some flavor. My coworkers also shared that the flavors of their dishes were a bit off-- particularly some dishes being unexpectedly spicy and others being a bit pungent. Overall, this is a cute spot but I'd stick to the classic fish n chips & clam chowder!

I'd like to rate this 3.5, but there are no .5 options. Nice market, great location. Had the wedge salad, which I thought was great. Husband had swordfish tacos and fries. He said hey we're good but not hot/barely warm. Server was great. Worth a stop, if taco/fries were hot definitely would have been a higher rate!

Haven't had some good seafood in a long time and glad my cousin chose to place to celebrate my aunt's birthday. It got busy towards the end of the night and service was still great and quick. My boys enjoyed their calamari, chicken strips with fries and i most specially enjoyed the famous crab cioppino. Gosh it was filled with all sorts of seafood.... Tasted very fresh and the sauce was so delicious and flavorful. I also got a taste of the swordfish which was very tender and perfect with the white dip it came with. Creme brûlée for desserts and it was a perfectly made custard coz I finished it. This place is very spacious and I love their cute little fish market at the front of their fresh catch.

Every year we eat here and it is always a wonderful experience. We choose to sit outside to enjoy the weather and the views, so sometimes there is more of a wait for a table even if you have a reservation. My husband and I always like to take our time enjoying our meal, and our servers never rush us. We start with tuna sashimi, then move on to a cup of chowder before our entrees. His Swordfish was perfectly cooked and my crab legs were succulent! He loves to finish off with the snickerdoodle dessert and I, the mousse. Another year gone, until next!!!

The Fish Market is located on the harbor. There are patio tables and lots of indoor tables. We made a reservation for 4:30 p.m. so we could watch the sun set over the water. It was a beautiful sight. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and checked on us periodically but wasn't pushy. Food was amazing!! We ordered a tuna poki appetizer. I ordered the scallops, with veggies and rice pilaf. My S.O. ordered the grilled lobster with green beans and scalloped potatoes. Last we ordered the pumpkin cheesecake. All of the food was fresh and delicious! I would definitely return!

The crispy baby octopus was delicious! Fish and chips were good too, but the appetizer def stole the show. Service was friendly and the weather was amazing for outside seating on the back deck.

We got away for the weekend and decided to eat dinner here over looking part of the bay! We both had Clam Chowder and I ordered the crusted Calamari! My wife had the Clams! For dessert we shared a crème brûlée! Our server was great and she continued to check up on us to make sure all is good! You can't beat the view which is amazing!!

We were just walking around by Harbor Dr and decided to stop by for happy hour only. Drinks were fine and had the $2 oysters which was a good deal. Staff was nice but there was beef between them during shift change and it was noticeable.... other than the drama make sure to get a reservation if you wan a nice seat other than the bar area

Great view on the water Menu was good for entire party Service was spot on The fish and chips are yummy

One of the many places that has the overlook of the harbor and the bay one of the many places that has historical areas that is the Fish Market located over near the Aircraft Carrier. The Harbor Drive stretch is one that is located over near the entrance of Seaport Village the walk that takes you past the fish processing building . Harbor drive is one of the many that you walk along the sidewalk and sit and enjoy the many ships that come and go from the harbor to enjoy the evening and the Ambiance going to do ner and afterwards. The Fish Market is the one restaurant where you see the many signs in the parking lot reserved for commercial fisherman for the food you can smell when you come in the front door. Fish Market has the East Coast feel to it of the red color to the wood roof the upstairs deck they use from time to time. The food at the restaurant is one that has many tastes from the shark to swordfish and the familiar area of fish and chips. Going to the fish market for dinner the restaurant seemed more casual then more of the stylish the servers were dressed In uniforms for the food was very good. For the service was of first come first serve in seating to see yesterday there was no one at the front going to the happy hour host not to be seen . The evenings they have are more of the front staff and to help those coming for the dinner hours for the reservations they have trouble seating with commercial and those that call in. For the food and drinks menu are very good for most of the dishes they range from the $15.00 mark to the $24.00 for many that come for lunch prices are lower. For the many historical statues and monuments make the Harbor drive park one of the greatest places with remodel coming you may see new things coming . As a Yelp Elite Reviewer the many areas of the Embarcadero and the Harbor Drive area you will be seeing many new changes and new construction. For the pier area is one of the many historical areas of San Diego Calif.

Sometimes you just want to be a tourist. We took a tour of the San Diego harbor and passed by The Fish Market restaurant on our way back to the pier. With a dining room sitting right over the water, we knew we need to go and have a snack and a glass of wine or two. Our young hostess seated us right on the glass next to the water. The view was amazing. Thank you! Stephanie our server took care of us for the next hour as we sampled some wonderful treats including their New England Clam Chowder and Oyster Sampler. Paired with a La Crema Sauvignon Blanc and some of their warm bread, it was the pwrfect setting to take in another beautiful day in the city. While I cannot attest to the main menu choices, do what did if you're visiting Sam Diego. The staff is so friendly and you can't beat the view.

Ahoy mateys! So, me and me crew decided to drop anchor at The Fish Market, all hyped up 'cause we heard they had some righteous Seabass on the menu. As Captain 619, I was stoked to try it out. But shiver me timbers, when we asked our waiter about the Seabass, he straight-up told us it wasn't up to snuff and a lot of folks had been complaining about it. Bummer, dude. I ended up settling for the swordfish steak, and let me tell ya, it was a total washout - dry as the desert. And me two lovely ladies went for the Cod, but there was no thrill there either. Sadly, this joint just didn't measure up to the swell reviews. The Fish Market left me feeling like I should've sailed on to another spot. Arrr, better luck next time, me hearties.

The wait staff was great, we were seated quickly at a table with a great view of the water, unfortunately the patio was full. My party have a 1/2 dozen oysters, crab spinach and artichoke dip, crab cakes and a Cesar salad. I wouldn't order the raw oysters again, but the crab spinach and artichoke dip was really good. We have a few different cocktails, none of them memorable but they all served their purpose.

Dined outside on a Friday evening and loved the fresh seafood and cozy water view. I started off with a lavender lemonade which was tasty, fresh, and even incouded lavender garnish! My colleague and I shared the caesar salad and salt and pepper calamari - FYI the pepper means bell pepper, not black pepper. The calamari was delicious especially paired with the different sauces. We were quite hungry and already started to feel full after appetizers. For my entree, I went with the cioppino. My colleague had the sea bass paired with au gratin potatoes and green beans. Everything was delicious. Great service - friendly and attentive, from the host to the servers. Would love to come back and try more dishes - it was so hard to choose!

I have tried twice and I will try it again. The food was so tasty and fresh. The ambiance was great and so friendly. i would recommend trying fish tacos and Lavender lemon juice.

Delicious and fresh seafood with a great view of the water. Get there early and request a booth outside! It's the perfect peaceful view! We got the clam chowder, crispy octopus, dungeness crab cioppino, and the grilled salmon. Everything was cooked to perfection and the cioppino had a lovely flavor. It was jam-packed with all kinds of seafood there was no way I could have finished it- definitely a two-mealer.

Wonderful serving sizes and a nice atmosphere and setting. Love being by the harbor and seeing the big ships. Service was attentive and good enough for our visit.

I just love this place, the food always amazes me, the staff are friendly, the view is lovely

I discovered a gift card that I had. So my friend + decided to use it. We sat outside on the deck.Even locals love looking at the water + North Island. Plus it was cute when one of the smaller excursion boat went by. And a passenger barked like a Seal. Both of us went with the Fish + Chips, only difference I went with a split order one piece of Cod + 3 Prawns. She ordered the full Prawn order. I would recommend the Fish + Chips either way it was a good meal. I wasn't crazy about the Tarter sauce or my Mai Tais. And I apologize for my photos. The view is outstanding and so was the service.

We always dine here when we are catching a cruise leaving San Diego, food is very good, service can't be beat, & if you're lucky enough to get a seat by the window, also have dining outside on the veranda we've never received that option. Bur I would recommend it & ambience outside would be a great opportunity

Ambiance : perfect for outside seating as the weather was insanely comfortable (jackets a must and a scarf just to be safe!) Food: day 1order was Atlantic cod and French fries, crab cioppino, crispy octopus, and a Long Island iced tea (that I had to add ice to prevent myself from being tipsy - lol). All meals cooked so well, properly seasoned & the seafood was fresh and flaky. Day 2. Sea bass (also flaky) with creamy garlic linguine, more Atlantic cod and chips and fish tacos! Dan was a very attentive waiter (day one dude as well!) and we appreciated them both!

5 Stars - Waterfront Dining at Its Best! If you're looking for an unforgettable seafood experience in San Diego, The Fish Market, is a must-visit! Nestled right on the harbor, the views are breathtaking--there's nothing like enjoying a fresh seafood meal while watching the boats go by and taking in the stunning waterfront scenery. The food here is exceptional. We started with the clam chowder, which was creamy and packed with flavor--definitely one of the best I've had. For the main course, I had the seared ahi tuna, and it was cooked to perfection--crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside. My partner had the lobster tail, which was sweet and succulent, and the accompanying sides were spot on (especially the garlic mashed potatoes). The service is top-notch. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations. Whether you're a seafood connoisseur or someone just in the mood for a delicious meal, they know how to make your experience special. Add in the live music and the fact that the sunset over the harbor is just gorgeous, and you've got a perfect evening out. This is the kind of spot where you want to linger and soak in the ambiance. Highly recommend [Restaurant Name] if you're in San Diego--it's a beautiful place with delicious food and a vibe that can't be beat! You can tweak the specifics to match the actual restaurant and your experience!

My husband and I came here for the view, however got more than that. Our server Scott was amazing. Gave us the Best customer service we've had in a restaurant in a long time. Gave us great menu recommendations, as well as things to do in the city. When we come back, we will definitely be requesting to sit in his section. Thank you Scott!

Our large party was seated on the patio over the water, which was perfect. We all enjoyed ourselves and had fantastic food. Did I mention the sourdough bread?? Devine. The clam chowder was amazing. The salmon with pink peppercorn sauce, potatoes and green beans, was delicious. Our waitress was fantastic and took care of our every need.

We were in the area for a wedding and stopped here on a Friday afternoon for a late lunch. First - what a gorgeous location! There's so much to see around this area make sure you save some time for it. It wasn't too busy when we got there but we had to wait 5-10 minutes to get seated. It was worth the wait though. The food was delicious, fresh and so uniquely prepared. We ordered a variety of seafood dishes and were not disappointed in anything. The starter sourdough bread was amazing, and the cocktails were delightful.

I couldn't think of a more perfect way to spend my evening of having a warm bowl of New England clam chowder, and fresh caught halibut while watching the sunset. While I didn't think it could get any better my waitress, Stephanie, went out of her way to write down a list of attractions I should see while I was in San Diego. Thanks, Stephanie!

First time at The Fish Market. Parking was simple. There were several places opening up along Harbor Boulevard as we drove along. We arrived at 8:40 on a Saturday night and it was a 10 min wait. Our server greeted us in about 10 mins. My wife got a clam and mussel combo and a Chardonnay whilst I got the fish and chips plus an iced tea. We also added a prawn cocktail for an app. In total it came to $106.13. Our dinners actually took so long to arrive that our waiter brought us some sourdough and butter after about 15 mins. The bread was fantastic but that was pretty much the end of the good part of the experience. About 10 mins after the bread arrived, our app and dinners arrived. The prawn cocktail was served in a stemmed dish on a plate. The moment we moved it, the whole thing tipped over, landing on my wife and the floor. We flagged down our server for help and he returned with gloves and a dish towel to wipe up the edge of the table, and then said: "I'll bring you another one", leaving the prawns on the floor for the evening. Our next prawn cocktail arrived about 20 mins later but we just ate it from a distance, without moving it. The entrees were no improvement in the experience. My fish was thickly battered, very under seasoned and fell apart each time I dipped into the tartar sauce. The sauce itself was very off tasting as well. I would not order it again. My wife's bowl of clams and mussels were good but nothing spectacular. Overall, we were disappointed with the service and the food. To top off the disappointment, our server charged us for both of the prawn cocktails, which were $19.95 each. If he had said: "Would you like to order another?" or something similar, it would've made more sense. I wish we had chosen a different restaurant.

Great service, delicious food! Love being able to just sit near the ocean enjoying the views and food!

The view is amazing but the food was okay. Ordered the swordfish tacos and although it was seasoned well it was okay.

I debated between 3 and 4 stars but ultimately decided on 3. My husband and I were visiting San Diego celebrating our 20th anniversary and happened to see this place when visiting the USS Midway. First of all the service was amazing. I wish I would have got our severs name. She was awesome! Sometimes when you order an appetizer the timing is off and it comes to close to food but this was not the case. Our drinks came out first which was perfect, then our appetizer (we for the artichoke crab dip), and then perfectly timed by our food. The crab and artichoke dip was really good...like delicious! With that said, we were both up all night not well and this was one of the only things we shared all day... not saying anything for sure but ‍. My husband got the New York and added prawns. The steak was really good, the prawns were so salty they almost made you pucker when eating them. I ordered the crispy fish tacos. I wanted to love them so much. They were so crispy, but had no flavor. The pinto beans that came with it were FANTASTIC, this coming from someone who doesn't like pinto beans. I will be googling a copycat recipe for sure lol. We finished the evening with the creme brûlée and it was absolutely perfect.

While in San Diego for a friend's graduation we are here. We had water view which was really nice an calming. Food was fresh and service was excellent. I ordered one of their Mocktails and their sea bass entree.

Amazing views of ocean and great patio seats right on the water. Fish so fresh and delicious

The bay view with outdoor seating was the primary reason we dined here. We enjoyed looking at the setting sun over the water. My fish and shrimp curry was okay but convinced me that I am not a fan of curry. Service was decent. My son loved his clam chowder and my wife loved her halibut. If I dine here again, I will order something different.

This was a fantastic meal! Our server Ellis did a great job taking care of us! We got a table by the window and Ellis was quick to take our drink order. We started with a leche de tigre ceviche. It was amazing!!! So fresh and crisp! It would be a great meal all by itself. I had the garlic prawn linguine for dinner, it came out quick, but we had plenty of time to soak in the amazing views. The prawns were delicious and cooked to perfection! I wish I would have had room to try dessert! Great location, fantastic service, great food!

The Fish Market is one of the few restaurants within walking distance of the USS Midway museum. It's a huge restaurant and includes an actual seafood counter at the front for all you home cooks. Lunch service was friendly but the food overall was just AOK. My grilled California Halibut was super dry, and unfortunately only the rice and Asian Green Beans stood out in terms of flavor. My son's Chicken Teriyaki had zero sweetness and was very salty, almost like pure oyster sauce. Plus, the chicken was dry. Wife's prawns linguine looked OK, but was definitely on the rich side. Good thing about the restaurant is the view outside - you can see the USS Midway from a new angle along with other boats passing along. There's also the famous statue of a sailor kissing his beau, and the Bob Hope honorary statue garden.

The view was nice, plenty of room. The food was very good. Service was good. The fish and chips didn't cost too much but they also didn't give you enough. They were very accommodating because they fried the fish with regular batter not beer batter (husband requested, so thank you!) The Rainbow trout was excellent.

As usual this place did not disappoint. I have been here several times with my family and they are always accommodating. This time the hostess was in training and you could tell she was trying hard to meet our needs, we did not have a reservation but were seated quite quickly. We were given the option of outside or indoors! Food is always delicious, I could not decide and the server helped me with her favorite options. It was not too loud and service was fantastic. I will keep coming back each time I am in town.

The Fish Market is a solid spot we've visited multiple times with family. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, with a great selection of seafood to choose from. One thing to keep in mind is that it's a bit touristy and can get busy, so there might be a wait, especially during peak hours. Parking can be tough, but thankfully they offer valet service, which is a lifesaver in this busy area. All of their waiters are very friendly, so I enjoyed the service. Some of their dishes are great while others can be hit or miss. We've tried some of the different grilled fish and sometimes it's cooked perfectly but other times it is dry or feels like it has been sitting at the pass for a bit. We really enjoy the fish and chips, raw oysters, and octopus. The view is a nice bonus, especially if you can get a table by the water--it really adds to the experience. Overall, The Fish Market is a reliable choice for fresh seafood, though expect it to be busy, especially given its popularity with tourists.

Wow!! What a place. We decided to catch their happy hour (shortly after we already had lunch, whoops!) I'm so happy we did because I loved it! Friendly staff and we were sat quickly. I loved the Bloody Mary, oysters and the view!! Wow I gave 4 stars because the flag pole outside had a Black Lives Matter and Pride flag. However you lean politically, BLM has proved to be a money laundering organization. It's inappropriate in my opinion.

The food is mediocre. The best thing we had was the warm sourdough bread service and the veggie sides, though the sides were inconsistent. Mine were.charred, while my companion's were outright burnt. Portion sizes are small for the cost, and taste is a bit bland, with the exception of said veggie sides. Come for the view though! That is the main draw of this place, imho. Just don't expect too much from the food

I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant with beautiful views of the water on a Saturday evening with 12 other ladies. We were seated at an outdoor corner table with heated lamps for the chilly evening and serviced by Michelle. Michelle did a fantastic job taking care of us. The food was delicious. I enjoyed the crab and shrimp artichoke dip with pita chips to start and the fish and shrimp yellow curry entree. I washed it down with hot green tea. The portion sizes were perfect and enough to share with others. When I return to San Diego, I will return to The Fish Market to try other dishes on the menu. Parking is available for a fee except on holidays. Since we dined here on Veterans Day, parking was FREE.

When you crave seafood- and you get to be surprised with coming to a great seafood spot ! The place was delicious. The seafood was delicious and fresh. The service was ok - I feel like that might need a bit of work. Outside seating for full experience is a must ! The weather was warm and cool breeze -there is heaters outside so its perfect. Getting a variety of seafood is best to get a taste different seafoods. I love the freshness of the seafood- that is what gives this well deserved stars!

I'm from New England originally so I know my seafood. The seafood here was so fresh and delicious. I had the Lobster & crab sliders. Mouth watering. A must order . The shrimp and the sauce they were in was so zesty. This will become a regular stop going forward. Jeff was so friendly and welcoming. His recommendations were spot on. The atmosphere and decorations were so festive. Love it. Thank you for such a great evening,.

I've been coming to this restaurant for the last 30 years. It pains me to say that they've lost the intimacy and the quality of their establishment. The tiny scrap of bread they provide (after asking for it multiple times), and the once overflowing Duckett bucket is now anemic and served like an afterthought. The prices don't stop going up, but the quantity of food keeps getting smaller. I don't think that this is necessary. I fear that they've become dependent on their tourist trade and have lost the loyalty of the locals.
