Pro Tip

Happy hour seating in the upstairs bar is first-come, first-served; if celebrating, reserve and request a waterfront patio table in advance.

You come for the boats and the sunset, and you leave still thinking about the mashed potatoes. Cannery Seafood of the Pacific feels polished but not precious, a harbor-side dining room that hums with families, anniversary tables and after-work drinkers. The view is loud in the best way: rigging clinks, gulls call, and last light slips across the water while servers balance plates of calamari and lobster tail. Texture matters here. Fontina mashed potatoes arrive silk-smooth, the lobster tail flakes with a gentle resistance, the calamari keeps its chew. There is sushi on the menu, but this is a seafood restaurant that celebrates butter and smoke as much as sashimi. Service swings between efficient and stretched thin on busy nights. If you want the visual, ask for a waterfront patio table and watch a yacht slide past as your potatoes arrive.
