- DDavidVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •18 reviews4.0Dined 6 days agoIt is limited menu for my friend due to some allergies. That said she loved your Mussel dish, very good, a large order and the their preparation and presentation was top quality. I ordered oysters, they were fresh, but the preparation allowed the `liquor` inside the shell to drain off, I am used to fresh shucking and like the liquid to remain. I enjoyed my tempura crab sandwich, good quality. The crab prep was similar to a crab cake. We both like this place and will be back for dinner, the menu is larger and several dish listed that look good. Thank you.More infoPete's CapitolaPrice: Expensive• Californian• Capitola•4.5
