Review for Pete’s Fish House Restaurant: I had the pleasure of dining at Pete’s Fish Restaurant yesterday, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The menu offered a fantastic variety of fresh seafood options, and everything we tried was cooked to perfection. The fish was tender, flavorful, and clearly of the highest quality. The sides were equally impressive, complementing the dishes beautifully. The service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in ensuring we had a great experience. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and the service exceed expectations, but Pete’s managed to do just that. If you’re looking for a seafood spot that delivers on flavor, freshness, and hospitality, Pete’s Fish House Restaurant is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and try more from their amazing menu! Highly recommended.

Had the chicken Parmesan special with salad and wine. Was surprisingly delicious! Service was perfect.

Return of head chef Ben Hillan has brought a refreshed menu of locally sourced fish, meat and produce. Highly recommend the Black Cod, Dungeness Crab Salad, Prosciutto wrapped Halibut and Steak Bavette.

Our waiter was great and the food came out really fast. Definitely will eat here again. Food was delicious.

We sat at the bar and had a great time! We were served good food, were entertained by staff and customers, always a good time 🫶🏼
