    We had to go to San Pedro and decided to find a lunch place. Hadn’t been to San Pedro in a while. We decided on a brunch menu at Trani’s Dockside. We were greeted warmly and got our table. Katheryn our server was so friendly and happy. We order the scallops, Sea Biscuits, fish sandwich and Chicken Milanese and Romaine. The scallops were delicious. So fresh and bright. Had lime, cashew and dollop of coconut air (foam). The combination of flavors was delicious. The Sea Biscuits was Biscuits with Clam Chowder poured over it. It was also delicious. The fish sandwich was on a crispy ciabatta roll. Loved the crunch. The salad had a nice fresh buttermilk dressing and fresh romaine and frisée. It’s so nice when a restaurant is as good as we hoped and the service top notch. Would love to see what the dinner service is like.

    Great place to have a nice dinner. Food is usually good and so is the service. On occasion my wife and I have experienced average service, and food was not quite as good as the previous times but that can probably be said about most places. After sunset there are nice views of the boats in the water under the lights at the Marina. Not an overly fancy place but nice enough to have a romantic dinner in a booth. Experience is always better when you get a responsive & enthusiastic waitress/waiter.
