With its lifebuoys and marine trinkets hanging on the wall, the decor of this restaurant resembles that of a sea wolf den. Take time to sit at the bar, shucking Santa Barbara shrimp or enjoying lobster rolls with lemon aioli and celery, before being seated at your table. Aside from oysters and other seafood, Son of A Gun serves fine, meticulous preparations that remind us that we're near the ocean. Good value for money.

The food here is quite good, but pricey for what you get. We ordered the chips with caramelized onion dip, fried chicken sandwich and the caesar salad. The Caesar salad was really good. The chicken sandwich was good but kind of disintegrated quickly. I have to echo the other reviewers that the whole mandatory service charge thing is not cool, if it's not a tip.

Sneaky 18% service charge means most people only visit here once.

18% surcharge "service fee" on top of tip!
Food was great and even got food recommendations by our waiter.
Unfortunately it does come with a 18% service fee which does not cover tip/gratuity. So you end up paying almost 40%.
We live in the San Francisco Bay Area so we are fairly used to additional service fees / living surcharge, but I have never seen anything like this!
It is mentioned on the menu, but I thought maybe it was a typo...????????
It is unfortunate as the food was great. Place was fairly empty (just two other diners on a Saturday lunch hour, likely also out of towners)

The food was good, the service was ok, even though the restaurant is pricey the restaurant charges an 18% service fee and states this isn't a tip. So if you leave a tip there is a 40% premium on your meal. Outrageous is an understatement.
