Lucas Wharf Restaurant & Bar

Coastal Highway 1


Located right on the water, this place specializes in sophisticated seafood options, with ingredients such as roasted cherry tomatoes accompanying dishes like Dungeness crab cakes and popcorn shrimp. Founded by a family of commercial fishers, the restaurant originated as a fish market, which is now next door, together with an upmarket deli. In other words, these folks know their seafood and you can guarantee it is flapping fresh.
