What Bob Bickel likes about The Contented Sole:
The location and view are fantastic, offering a laid-back atmosphere complemented by delicious comfort food such as fish tacos, cheeseburgers, lobster BLTs, and pizzas. Set in a charming old cannery building, it features a casual dockside vibe. Guests can choose to dine at the pier or enjoy the cozy indoor space on rainy days. View all feedback. What Nils Demmert doesn't like about The Contented Sole:
The restaurant offers a fantastic view and has a very friendly staff. The food was enjoyable, and they have good beer on tap. However, I found the price of $25.95 for what was probably a dozen tiny fried clams to be excessive. The fish tacos were decent, while the lobster and artichoke dip was quite good.

Great food and great service!! The lobster roll was fantastic, if you like Brussel sprouts they are a must have, also the dirty fries for an appetizer.
