In town for vacation and stopped by Sly McFly’s for dinner. Was a weeknight still a good amount of people and live music. For food we got the shrimp tacos and fish and chips and they were excellent and the portions were big!! The fish and chips was one of the best I’ve had, great crust and super juicy! Overall an excellent experience, would do again!!

Clam chowder and bread bowl was AMAZING, high recommend! Live music every night around 8pm that makes it a cute atmosphere. Great service, our waitress was super nice. Also in a cute area with other shops restaurants, close to the aquarium!

Dined here about a month and a half ago with a friend, and this place was amazingly delicious. The texture of the fries with the crispy outside, and the battered fish was phenomenal. The coleslaw just topped it off and complimented everything very well. My friend got chowdered fries which looked pretty good too. The gentleman that helped us was very kind and checked in with us frequently. I'd definitely recommend going here especially at night because they have a band playing too and it's just good vibes all the way around. Will be back soon

We didn’t have any food however we did had the drinks and they are the best so far I encounter in California. We travel all over the state over 10 days and this so far has had the best cocktails anyway in California located right in cannery Road even though it’s not waterfront is to die for I would highly highly highly suggest get the white linen cocktail, which was my favorite if you’re looking to relax and just have a good time highly recommend this place
