"One of my all time fav places to grab dinner. Everytime I'm in town I always gotta make sure to stop by. Food is absolutely amazing, the portions are large, the quality is some of the best, everything is perfectly seasoned."

"Great place for seafood. Tried salmon and sand dab. Their side vegetables were surprisingly delicious as well. Service was attentive and fast. The interior was clean and ambiance was appropriate for seafood place."

"The service was great and efficient. Food was excellent (our party of three had salmon, calamari and ravioli - all very good) The location is not far from Highway 1, so it's a worthwhile stop when we're in the area."

"Tried the Fish House on Main St. in Watsonville tonight and I can’t wait to go back again and again and again. It’s a clean and modest atmosphere with white fabric table cloths and napkins. My friend and I devoured their delicious fried calamari. This is just as good if not better than Lago di Como in Santa Cruz."

"Oysters are amazing if you know good oysters! Old school feel with amazing food and service. Early bird special has some amazing deals from 3-5. I only wish they were open for lunch and a bit later in the evenings. Best restaurant in Watsonville."
