August 2025 I visited at lunchtime for a work lunch with colleagues and clients, group of 8. This is one of the nicer sit-down places for a good seafood lunch, especially if you would prefer table service. Weekday lunch was not too busy at 12noon. The lighting inside is a little dim, but not too noisy. Plenty of service staff walking around serving constantly. Due to the large menu with so many fish and seafood options, it took us a little while to order. If you know what you want, it shouldn't take too long to order and get the sourdough bread service. Butter is hard slices in a dish. We had a traditional calamari starter and then individual entrees for everyone. Food took a bit, but perhaps they were waiting for us to finish the appetizer. Everyone was quite happy with their plates. Most people ordered fish and one lobster roll. Photos attached are: swordfish, sliced ahi tuna, and fish & chips. There was a lighter lunch menu with a half portion for anyone who wants a starter and a small plate. Drink service was heavily aimed towards those who ordered fountain drinks (soda, lemonade, and iced tea). Refills for drinks arrived quickly and often, but water for the table required additional requests. Overall, a good place for a non-vegetarian lunch in south Fremont area. Plenty of free parking in the Old Navy parking lot.

Good, good, good. Hadn't seen my buddy in over 5 or 6 years. This place did not disappoint. The food was great, *and* healthy. They got bonus points: I got a flight of 4 beer tasters, and while they were out of the single red/amber I was interested in, our female server actually knew what she was talking about in terms of recommendation. Plus, they labeled them. I'm not a a wine guy, but she even got to talking about good wineries up in Napa, and thereabouts, with my buddy. Really good experience here yesterday!

Went to Market Broiler with friends around 5 pm on a Tuesday. No waiting. We got our drinks and food in a timely manner. A couple of my friends ordered the same dish (Turf & Surf Tuesday) from their Daily Special Menu for only $19.00. The dish has shrimp ,steak, and a side of veggie and potatoes. I ordered chicken piccata with a side of rice pilaf and broccoli. For dessert, we shared a butter cake topped with ice cream and strawberries. My friends said their dish tasted good and the price is unbeatable. My dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry. The broccoli was cooked really well. The dessert was so good. The cake was melting in our mouths, and the ice cream complimented the cake really well. I definitely recommend getting this dessert.

During our road trip, we stumbled upon this hidden gem. The seating area was both beautiful and welcoming, creating a cozy atmosphere that immediately put us at ease. I ordered the sizzling seabass, and oh my goodness, it was by far the most delicious meal I had throughout my entire two-week road trip. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the fish was perfectly cooked, tender, and flaky. The vegetables served alongside were generous, adding a perfect balance to the dish. I left feeling completely satisfied. If you ever pass through this city, make sure to stop by ; it's absolutely worth it!

My family had a wonderful lunch here today. The food was so fresh and delicious. We started with the Masterpiece appetizer. It had oysters, poke, sushi, shrimp and scallops. Everything had the best flavor and texture. For our entree's, our daughter got the kids fish and chips, my husband got the bone in ribeye and I had the fishermans stew. All came out hot and fresh lol of flavor. My husbands steak was perfectly cooked and very tender. My daughters fish and chips had the perfect amount of breading and my fishermans stew was packed with seafood. Everything was amazing and we will definitely be back.
