"10/10 view with the most DELICIOUS shrimp tacos & fresh Salmon salad. Highly recommend this gem of a spot when on the canal. Definitely check out the darling market next door full of local art."

"Lunch for 2 couples, $150 total including 2 beers and a can of root beer. Positives: great view and pretty good deal on half Dungeness crab for $20 including a bonus claw, staff pleasant. Also had “Little Lillies” oysters (6 for $21) — good. Negative: the seafood chowder was too small, contents of bowl smaller than a normal cup and no discernible seafood, mainly potatoes and veggies. The flavor was good. Now that I see photos posted by others, we were shortchanged for sure, I guess they were running low and tried to sell 2 more bowls? My friend got a drop of it on his shirt and exclaimed “darn I got $1 of it on my shirt!” At the end I asked the nice server if they were cool to get feedback, she said sure we appreciate feedback (nice) and I mentioned we liked everything except the skimpy size of each of 2 bowls of seafood chowder. She was nice and said “there should have been 10 ounces” to which I replied we got mostly potatoes, maybe four ounces of liquid, and no visible seafood chunks. She said thanks for the feedback. Were it my restaurant, I would have offered more (no such offer made, maybe they were out as it was approaching closing time at 4:00 PM) or offered a refund (no such offer). So while altogether pleasant, kind of put us all off given the expensive lunch of $150.00. Now seeing other photos of full bowls of chowder with seafood, I feel even more shortchanged and a bit angry at the person’s lack of desire to make right an obvious shortchange. We also had the pulled pork sandwich which was just passable. They were out of stout beer and apparently clams too. Don’t think we will come back despite the pretty good food and good view, as there are 100s of better places to spend our money."

"This place is amazing. Had to take a moment right after going to make sure I wrote a review. Visiting from out of town and would seriously make the 2 1/2 hr drive just to eat here again. Amazing food! We got two of each type of oyster preparation that they offer. Raw, poached and two different types of charbroiled. They were the best oysters we’ve had and we’ve gone to a lot of different places. The Union City Boil was to die for! Even their side bread is outstanding. The staff is so nice and attentive. The scenery is beautiful. Saw tons of seals passing. Fisherman coming back in from getting their catch. There’s a market attached that also serves local beer, cider and wines. Highly recommend."

"Attended the Canal Cookout, which is not to be missed! Excellent food and service by a staff who delights in what they create and the joy it brings to their diners. Spend the money, eat until the oysters run out."

"Unbelievable space. Very few things are more enjoyable than sitting on Hook and Fork's deck watching the seals play in front of the Olympic mountains and listening to the oysters sizzle on the grill. It's magical. The prices here are high, but the service is excellent, the oysters are divine, and the setting is wonderful. There is kayak parking on the beach. Go for a paddle and stop for an afternoon bite."
