3 /5 Nikky Barr: Heads-up: There’s a 2.5% credit card processing fee, avoid it by paying cash or using a debit card.
Located onsite at the Red Lion Hotel, this spot has pleasant outdoor seating with umbrellas, offering half a view of the bay and pedestrian walkway, and half of the wharf. Breakfast and lunch are served on one side, dinner at The Compass Room on the other.
Food quality is typical hotel restaurant fare, nothing remarkable. Daily happy hour runs 4–6 pm. Our server was excellent, especially considering he had four tables and we were the only ones seated outside.
What we ordered:
-Oyster shooter ($2 HH): Far too large for a shooter, skip it.
-Shrimp tacos (2 for $12 HH): No flavor.
-Grilled cheese & tomato bisque ($14 HH): Nice crispy sourdough; bisque had a bitter aftertaste.
-Fish & chips (regular price): Just okay; fries were stale.
Free public parking at the wharf across the street, plus free street parking. Clean restrooms with toilet seat covers.
