The soups are all wonderful. The clam chowder is the best in the East Bay, like it hot? Can't miss with the pepperpot. I'm having the southwestern Sweet potato, a spicy, smooth seasonal offering. Yum!

great food in a casual atmosphere. I had the grilled swordfish while the husband had the scallops. Both were excellent. Wine list was also moderately priced and offered good selection.

The lobster mac & cheese is pretty amazing, even though there's more bacon in it it seems than lobster, and the red coconut curry pink grouper was pretty good too.

Lead bartender Jay Crabb - who works from a collection of more than 20 bitters - regularly changes more than half the cocktail menu.

If you like your cocktails spicy, order the not-on-the-menu "no name" drink (aka "The Tony Danza."

If you like spicy hot, go for the pepperpot soup. It is delicious! And HOT!
