A great place to have a great breakfast. They are running a special for $4.95. You get two pancakes, two eggs, and two strips of bacon. It was delicious.

The clam chowder was out of this world, It was delicious.. It was the best we have had at the coast. The fish was delicious and not greasy at all, We both really enjoyed our food. The service was great too. And also need to thank the cooks for the delicious food. You want a good fish and chips meal It is worth the trip here You will not be disappointed Three had 3 piece fish One had rock fish sandwich Food was delicious

Jesus took care of our every need. He was a Great waiter. The food was excellent. The bowl of clam chowder was more than we could eat. The crab salad was so good with lots of crab on top. It was more crab than we had in a wonderful San Francisco restaurant. The tenderloin and fish was plenty of food. The Marionberry crisp with vanilla ice cream on top was a great finish to the meal!

Thank you, to the staff that served us so well. We appreciate the service, the food was pretty good. I had the fish tacos, they were tasty. Hats off to the servers that made sure we had what we needed and cleared our plates so fast. Never had to ask for water, the gentleman came around often, to make sure we were taken care of.

By far the best place to eat! The service was the fastest I have ever seen!!! The waters were at your table before you could even sit down We split the captains platter, steamed clam appetizer and the clam chowder was soooo good!!! Definitely will be going back for more!!

Dory Cove was a delightful find! In spite of its unassuming exterior, once you enter you will feel like you've been transported to a boutique fine-dining establishment. The service was absolutely top-notch! Suzette was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and efficient . Jesus, the manager, also made a special effort to ensure our experience was a good one! The chowder was absolutely fantastic and the Captains Plate fried sampler was fresh and delicious. This is definitely a spot we'll be visiting again, there is so much to try!

This was a cozy place for dinner. We got the fish and chips, clam chowder and steamer clams. All the food was excellent. Soy sauce in with clams was unexpected but interesting. A little high priced but very tasty! I think the owners don't need so much mushroom and tomato in with the clams. The clams were fine w/o butter but they were served with butter which made the dish a little confusing. Butter and soy sauce? I think I would go with one or the other. Clam chowder was good, but not the best on the coast. A very close second for sure! Staff was nice. I would definitely return.

All 3 of us had delicious meals. I had halibut and it was excellent. The clam chowder was the best I've had in a long time, full of clams and flavor. The staff was courteous and kept our drinks full. The environment was relaxing, cozy upbeat. I would definitely recommend going here.

It was a great restaurant. The prices matched the food quality, the food was very good, and great service. I went there in March. We'll go back for sure. There was one thing they could improve, they had the WNBA playing on the TV, but no one was watching (for obvious reasons), maybe they could put on real basketball, that would help. All I kept hearing was the people complaining about it.
